Regulations around COVID-19 achieved nothing but 1 thing: It polarised us against each other.

Where did I say I don't have privilege?

You're wasting your time arguing with MyBB'ers. they conflate privilege with the "check your white privilege" stuff in SJW owned compilations on youtube, not realising the point is that we're just lucky and it's a good place to help others from lmao

You'll find half the people here think that they're about to be genocided, too.

Well if me saying that the townships disregard lockdown rules alludes to racism, your statement alludes to me being racist with that little escape clause of "not that I'm saying you may think those things." Why raise it at all if you don't think I think those things?

Yup, there seems to be no balance these days. You can't have any views without it having to be categorized into an either extreme left-wing viewpoint, or an extreme right-wing viewpoint. There's no middle ground anymore.

Everyone wants to sit at home and get paid for it.

Nothing in the article suggests that. This is specifically the medical staff fearing for their health and demanding better safety / isolation procedures for COVID-19 patients. I think they need to be educated by the resident MyBB specialists that the whole COVID-19 thing is just hype.

It is not really possible to practice social distancing properly in such densely populated areas. Those people also need to eat, go to the shops, and often have to go outside to obtain water or use communal bathrooms etc. To say that they "disregard" social distancing is just unfair, and screams of Privilege and not realizing the circumstances of the poor.

There is the thing of using communal bathrooms and then there is the thing of playing soccer together etc.

I'm an ex foreigner (here for 15 years), but the biggest problem I have observed with SA is that there is ALWAYS an excuse as to why the local population behaves in a certain way. There is poverty, there is education, there is always something used as an excuse, ie "what do you expect". The problem is that when you expect little, you will get exactly that.

And please do not call me a foreigner who does not know a thing. I have 35 employees and know exactly how things work.
