Yup imagine we locked down now instead of at the start, I mean wtf logic was that? Especially since the government didn't do anything during it anyway.

Runaway pandemic, fkd economy, middle of winter, fed up population, no more amo in the toolkit ... what a combination!

Now, the time for sports has arrived. Parties ( DA, FF, AfriForum etc. ) and Private law firms taking the ANC to court with a full swing. Question is, how long can the ANC take all this coming in every week.

On our way to PE. First cop roadblock after Grasmere toll plaza - all asleep.

WTF

MIL had an incident (not COVID) and wife is concerned, driving down to make sure she's OK.

Hope she is going to be OK.

Wish I could be paid to sleep.

Second cop roadblock before Kroonstad. Also no life, except for a couple of cops who're sitting outside in their car.

The first lockdown should of ended straight after the Easter Weekend. The weeks of lockdown following it did nothing except destroying the economy.

Time will tell on this one to be honest...

The reasoning for the hard lockdown was not communicated effectively (as is expected from our incompetent government)

The extended lockdown and this "risk adjusted dick swinging micromanagement bollocks" lockdown though, they've done more damage then they've prevented from the virus.

Honestly probably no real difference from normal, that place has been a dump for nigh on twenty years.

Honestly that's actually just a normal day, as I've said before, I had to take my older family members to various government hospitals back in the day, the last time was in 2017 and that's not really much different.
The beds at most of the hospitals are from the 70s and 80s, the fittings haven't changed since either, I've seen blood soaked sheets, I've seen people die waiting for a doctor.
I've waited 12 hours for a burst appendix to be seen to, and another 12 hours for the op. I've seen an gun shot victims just left on gurneys, broken bones sitting in agony. The one thing is they are relatively quick with the elderly, and I mean as quick as 6 hours.
