How many SAs have had Covid-19? And why does no one know? - Biznews 30 January 2021 - How many people have Covid in South Africa? How many have had it? What difference does it make and why does no one seem to know? These are a few of the questions that have been overlooked in fashionable conversation since the second surge, but answers are forthcoming. While the latest Covid-19 statistics will tell you that just over 1.4 million South Africans have tested positive, the real number is far higher. In September last year – when the official number was closer to 650,000 – BizNews spoke to Ryan Noach. The Discovery Health CEO and his team of experts estimated the number closer to 13 million. So, how many South African’s have actually had Covid-19? When the IRR’s Gabriel Crouse posed that question to two prominent medical professionals, both gave him the same answer – ‘that is the million-dollar question’. Below, Crouse explores the reality of Covid-19 in SA. This article was first published on the Daily Friend. – Jarryd Neves
