This para almost made me laugh but I checked myself in time, fleeing from the imagery. It is an excerpt from a CNN article on the raging Delta variant in South Africa and Namibia. The context is a situation between the morgue and the bodies lying on the floors of the same hospital in Windhoek. "What they are having to do now is use a rotation system, swapping bodies kept in the freezers overnight with those lying in the corridors in the morning and then doing it again in the afternoon to prevent thawing," a person familiar with the operations at the mortuary told CNN. —————————————- Roland,I can understand that the imagery almost cha cha cha’ed on your funny bone. What you may have missed from the news is that S. Africa jailed its immediate former president a few days ago. I think you will agree with me that it is a great day when a country can stop the music and move someone from the Presidential chair - to a prisoners chair. Also from Africa last week, was a picture of a spartanly dressed Islamic women lecturing a bunch of all male Christian clergy - dressed in superfluous robes - on how the health care system of the country will work. The president of Tanzania is gaining kudos from every quarter. Some dwell only on petty issues completely ignoring the democratic trail blazing paths emerging in Africa. I on the other hand, am watching with excitement - counting the days left till the US finally follows S. Africa and jails D. Trump. Mervyn
