Let's see how long that lasts. I'm never going to volunteer.
Love this bit:
To obtain the necessary consent from the user of the mobile device or computer, the terms and conditions of the electronic system or application must explain and request the user’s express consent on a number of issues, including which information will be collected and how it will be stored.

Seriously? I know so many people breaking the rules on the latter, and it's not an issue as it's pretty easy to keep your distance.
 
Look at states like New York, countries like Italy and France that were epicenters of the pandemic. Now they have a few active cases because the people who interact with many people got the virus already. South Africa has 5 times today as many cases as Italy today. We implemented strict lockdown laws before we had a lot of cases. That was a wasted first 3 months. Now they relax it when we hit the worst. Idiots just copied other countries. Got experts involved and paid billions for false projections.
It wasn't like there was a cure or a cure any time soon. Even if you get a prospective cure it takes at a year to test it to determine if it is safe. No country can waste a year, especially South Africa. Next the taxes, huge increases in electricity and services, and 50% unemployment come. The timing is the worst time, just after the Zuma years which destroyed state organizations and empowered radical parties to dictate gov policy. If they got healthy people infected early on like Belarus you wouldn't have destroyed the economy. They should have rather isolated old people and those with prior medical conditions.
 
Weren't these the changes that were announced weeks ago? (Or whenever it is that the "president" last graced us with his presence?)
 
Yes, please do go out and have a meal, watch a movie in the cinema and then do so gambling afterward.

But whatever you do, DO NOT VISIT FAMILY!

And for the love of cheese, do not smoke. Actually if you do smoke you're already dead.

I do love cheese.
 
Just do what PnP does, keep requesting you use a trolley, even if you just buy 1 bread.

Touching the same things as an infected person - no problem
Brushing shoulders while walking in isles - No problem

But for the love of Gesoes, use a ****ing trolley.

Me? I have since been using Spar and Checkers. No trolley needed but at least a mask and had sanitizer needed. What else can you do.
 
Saw this weekend the parks were full, oh my... Cause tell me again why they are closed? I mean the poor kids have taken the rod in this lockdown.
