Or just try and be the President and tell us what's going on with daily updates.

Thing is, Cyril doesn't know enough to address the Nation.

NDZ running the show behind the scenes. Our President is her puppet and mouthpiece. Zuma POS. Again.

What is he trying to say, the infections and deaths would be less if he addressed us more frequently?

No.

The populace might think the anc had their best interests at heart if the anc cared enough to actually engage

As it is we know the cabal sit in their ivory towers laughing in RET.

I didn't say steroids are never used to treat infections...

The point is WHO got so many things wrong (no travel ban, no spread from human to human, no reason to declare pandemic, steroids, ventilators etc). Considering they are deemed to be the governing body, they should be careful what they recommend and what they firmly recommend against.

Lives put at risk to ‘save the academic year’
https://www.iol.co.za/thepost/opinion/lives-put-at-risk-to-save-the-academic-year-49486743
Pupils leave home hungry and carry no lunch, as their parents are now unemployed.

They have told me that they board taxis that contain 16 or more passengers despite the Covid-19 regulations. Some of the passengers do not wear masks.

Yet the minister of basic education promised that 7 000 employees would monitor the taxis that pupils travel in.

On some days, the pupils cannot attend school as there is no money for taxi fare. They are screened at the school gate and their temperatures are checked.
Is this a true reflection of whether they have contracted the virus?

In the classroom, I sanitise their hands, not their desks or chairs, because my school claims it’s not feasible.

This is only done at the end of the school day, for the next day.

The textbooks and worksheets that are distributed and used by the pupils cannot be sanitised.

The toilets at the school are not functional since the children returned. Officials from the Department of Education and the Department of Health visited the school recently, and they were not informed about this. The pupils are, therefore, unable to wash their hands, a basic condition to help stop the spread of the virus.

During recess, I have watched the pupils. They are not wearing their masks or practising social distancing.

They are children and being irresponsible is expected.
...

This begs many questions: what happens to pupils who were unable to engage in my lessons done over social media during the lockdown?

What happens to pupils who are not currently in school because they cannot afford transport – either due to their parents or care-givers being unemployed, or because they were not sent to school out of fear?

What happens to the pupils who have lost loved ones due to Covid-19 and are traumatised? What about pupils with co-morbidities, who have to remain at home? And what happens to those pupils who are not in school because they are in quarantine?

Pre Recorded again?
No you can't smoke.
No more alcohol
no more exercise especially surfing. Surfing is the main cause of all rapes and violence against woman.
