Six elderly tourists die after 37 out of 40 on Namibia tour bus test positive for Covid

Staff Reporter

Six elderly tourists died from Covid-19 after 37 out of 40 travellers on a bus trip in Namibia tested positive for the coronavirus.

According to Netwerk24 the party left South Africa on 10 May and every tourist had to present a letter certifying that they had tested negative.


Four later died in Windhoek, while two died after their return to South Africa. One of the deceased is Danie Blom, owner of Savanna Tours, the company that arranged the trip.

He was airlifted to Johannesburg and died last Sunday.



One of the elderly tourists' children, Chris Zondacht, told Netwerk24 that most of the party were sick by day nine of the tour, after which it was confirmed that almost everyone had tested positive for Covid-19.

One of the tourists told Netwerk24 that it was unclear when the group contracted the virus.


Another touring company, Paarl Rock Tours, dispatched two buses to ferry 33 of the tourists back to the country.

They arrived back on 28 May.

No offense, chuckmaxman, but the vast majority of anti-vaxxers (in the U.S.) are Trump supporters. That is a simple fact. The reason for it may be debatable, but the fact is not.

So does everything on AR have to be politically charged these days or can we just come here for hunting and gun stuff?


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Trupism is so antidemocratic and dangerous and with America the most importent country in the world - yes it is difficult not be political.

Good Hunting

Yes!

I am a Trump supporter and got my vaccination on the first day it was available to me.

Talked my wife into doing it, and my parents who are in their 70's and 80's.

If my kids were older they would be vaccinated.
