SA vs Aus vs UK - Lockdown rules comparison

South Africa is now in its fourth week of lockdown and many people are starting to question the strict rules which remain in place.

Economist Mike Schussler said South Africa cannot afford to close the economy in the draconian way the government has done so.

What kind of a comparison is this? Those countries have leaders who understand the economy, the financial well being and the health of their citizens. We have a clueless bunch who can't organize a piss up in a brewery.

Well, that is because the breweries are on lock down.

The United Kingdom has a massive crisis! Not exactly the comparison I would make, they're really being hit hard.

Australia is having success with treating the virus it seems.

I'm glad our government is taking it safe, because we don't have the resources of Western countries.

So motor accidents have significantly dropped due to lockdown ( on empty roads ?? )
and violent crime has dropped since the ban on alcohol ( except escalation of domestic abuse in the lockedown house )
And you have to wait for bread to cool down before you can buy it in the supermarket ? ( the idiots that be have obviously not heard of delivery )

Do they not see the pattern developing ?

Please update the article. In Australia non essential stores are still open. I just checked Harvey Norman (think Hirsch's/Dion Wired)
