Ban on alcohol and cigarettes in South Africa

[Lupus]

Where did you hear this?

According to the guidelines weeks back booze was allowed at Level 3

Do you really think they are going to allow alcohol and cigarettes now? No my son it's for your own good. All hail the overlords.

 

[TEXTILE GUY]

so he hasn't actually said anything...

[AlphaJohn]

We have to wait for the real president to make her speech

 

[Napalm]

Whole month? End of may is just over two weeks away.

2.5 weeks or 18days away. and it doesn't mean much anyway. As some areas will stay on level4 (i think western cape and KZN, Eastern Cape and Gauteng will be having a pleasant level4 still)

 

[Steamy Tom]

so he hasn't actually said anything...

exactly this, he waffled but never confirmed or said anything outright

 

[Lupus]

Ever, why would they. At level 3 they will have some other excuse about how naughty everyone was by going to get black market smokes, so they didn't listen so no smokes for you. Oh and drinks because it makes you do naughty things

Yeah I know I mean Gauteng really is a hotspot with 525 active cases, which is 4th in the country.
I mean let's only look at the totals

 

[The Trutherizer]

Pandemic breaks out...

ANC:

Citizens:

If he doesn't say anything concrete, he can't be "corrected" tomorrow by his supposed subordinates.

I dunno how they check it. Also remember ... alot can happen in 2.5 weeks. Remember that one Dr said. SA might be seeing close to 3000 infection per day by end of May.

So maybe they still checking whats going on... monitoring the numbers.

The only numbers they are monitoring the ones in their back pockets. They don't care about the virus and containing it. That's been made abundantly clear now.

 

[AlphaJohn]

I have an idea, Gauteng stop testing. That way the virus doesnt spread and we can goto level 2?

Yes.. no... maybe?

 

[AlmightyBender]

I think they going to give speech of how testing is going etc.etc

They also going to let everyone know that most areas will be going down to Level3. But not all areas will be level3. (Some districts will remain level4) i wonder if some might even goto level5(but i doubt level5)

I think most of CPT,East Cape, Kzn and Gauteng will remain level4 (which means no ciggies/alcohol)

Areas going to level3 they will most likely be able to buy booze/cigarettes.

Above is my guess.

Your guess was very well considered

 

[Bewlen]

This was merely an exercise in crowd control.

There is a huge difference between new infections and new cases. It seems clear that the Western Cape leads in the number of cases, due to screening and testing protocols (and fast turnaround), while other provinces are living in fools paradise.

IMO it is pretty obvious that there will be close to 3000 new infections by the end of May. However any definitions which rely on 'official' case numbers will be fatally flawed. Basing district level restrictions on those numbers just compounds the folly...

In the past I would've been cool lets hear what he has to say. Now it's like oh look the puppet is talking.

Guess I was right.

This is the ANC, they only know how to do one thing, frak things up
