I agree and fully understand he is a young person, healthy apart from his asthma. And he is 100% right, don't fear getting the virus, vast majority will be fine and probably only get mild symptoms if any. It's each and every person's responsibility to not spread it. He is 100% right.
I listened to McPherson earlier today. He is right, and that is the same sentiment I have - don't spread the virus. Another point I agree with is with his interview with Nielson Bronwyn earlier this week where he said that people aren't taking the virus seriously enough which he supported by people not being educated on the virus. That interview is located here (link to Instagram):
Andrew McPherson, a South African man who has tested positive for the coronavirus, spoke to Bronwyn Neilsen of The NielseNetwork. His hope is to educate people and to urge citizens to be accountable and responsible.

The problem we have is with the contagion taking roots within our poverty lines. Hospitals will be stacked, and this is where it will get complicated. Once people line up with COVID-19, whether they have it or not, people with other sicknesses will also be queued. For example, you get a stroke and nobody knows what to do with you, the point is that ‘special’ risks will be a greater risk when hospitals and other healthcare avenues are unable to cope. Again, it comes down to minimising the spread and to proactively prevent the spreading.
As McPherson said, tests should be allocated to the sick and elderly than the general 'healthy' population who may deplete the available test kits. Show any symptom related to the contagion and you need to take the responsibility to isolate until recovery and to promptly get in contact with your doctor when your symptoms worsen.
Anyhow, there is more to say on this, but common-sense here does apply and I believe everyone here has the capacity to make the right decisions in any case.
