It's amazing how people don't understand the concept of time. Fank fnuck they don't have run cronjobs.
PS. 00h00 belongs to Thursday. So from Thursday we are in lock down mode.

Yes yes, but do you trust the government to know that?

Nope, Geoff.D posted that he saw on SABC this morning that it's from Thurs. night, so first day is Friday.
Nope, the last minute to move around freely is 23:59 Thursday.

mfw, fml. I clearly hear ramaphosa say thursday midnight. So is the last day of free movement on wednesday or thursday according to that speech, or did the presidency release an updated lockdown schedule.

It should be but this few days enables us to prepare for lockdown. One unfortunate sucker here will be keeping the fort and doing analysis and samples on his own every second day. :( This also gives me time ( barely) to get my forklift back from our Elgin site to enable me to do things on my own. This time is barely enough for me and we'll be finishing around 22h00 on Thursday and then I must still take my staff home and be back before midnight.
agree, however on the other side, this virus waits for no one...at the current rate, our infections are doubling every three days...

The report of infections may be doubling, but the actual infection rate cannot be ascertained from that data.

Noticed Checkers/Shoprite prices ... very much elevated compared to PicNPay and Spar who were on the regular pricing on items, mostly.

Too bad I did not port or get a MTN Sim, I am on Telkom and likely to lose contact with many people due to the roaming with Vodacom being kak.

Just recently turned down a project worth 150+ hours because I knew I would not be able to allocate time on it. Client was very willing to pay over the odds. Otoh the project from last August should finally get started, and I guess it would be the grindstone these next 3 weeks. Boss is going to expect me to put in 8 hours/day actual production.
Actually noticed a few items were cheaper at Spar.

Calm the **** down & have some patience. When there's uncertainty around a topic there's no need be a dick.
