Which lockdown restrictions should be lifted?

Let people that have been tested and cleared, but are still in isolation, socialize with other similar people.

I.e. I want to be able to go for a braai with close friends and feel normal again...

New Zealand apparently allow just two single people to meet each other if they choose to. They're about to lift a believed-successful lock down.

But a wider concern is possible re-infection of even those lightly affected, though there seems little to justify it. Yet.

EDITED for clarity.
 
The sale of new born babies, hardware stores, cigarette and alcohol. In addition the government should supply food to the poor
 
Lift restrictions on excercise equipment. Health is not only about medicine.
 
Definitely not alcohol and cigarettes. The stock out there is getting less and less. I hear that the police is having a field day as the illegal operators get desperate and make mistakes. The less stock there is - the more obvious they will be. And as for the 'side effects'. Cry me a river. It is the most illogical reasoning I have ever heard.
 
Allow outdoor exercise like running with immediate family. Allow taking the dog for a walk. Allow takeaways.
 
Alcohol and cigarettes - place restrictions on amount that can be bought on a day. Tho yeah, you can go around and buy from numerous places to get around that. But it can also be made illegal to have more than daily allowance in your vehicle.

Takeaways should be allowed to operate, phone and collect, or delivery.

Ok mr. Holier-Than-Thou. Your moral high ground is oozing righteousness from this forum.

:rolleyes:

The side effects are sound but since you where the white bread example in high school you wouldn't understand how withdrawal compromises immunity. And the logic of making people quit for 3 weeks to improve lung health is the most illogical reasoning I've heard.
 
Alcohol and ciggies (even though I'm not a smoker - the ban was frigging stupid. If smokers want to smoke, so be it)
Restaurants should at least be able to do take-aways - the lockdown has hurt the food industry hard.
Online shopping should be completely unrestricted, so long as those involved can operate safely wrt their staff. At least allowing people to do online shopping helps keep them out of shops/malls.
 
Liquor. Wine is part of our daily life, why stopping sales? This is a major curb on freedom!!! I'm not a smoker, but why on earth did they curb that? - to support the black market???

Liquor can be picked up from shops open for food and will make no diff to suppressing the virus.
 
For the sake of the economy (not that this alone will save it) lift the "essential" and "non-essential" sales nonsense.

Open places that offer take-aways (for delivery only)...I'm sick of cooking :ROFL:
 
Letter for essential work, what about a nobody who wants to buy essential groceries who ends up on the wrong side of the law to the extent of being mulled.
 
The small sole proprietors who work from home. eg. online sales. We are too small to register our business and don't earn enough to be taxed, but we still need to earn something. The lockdown excludes us marketers.
 
Just Cigarettes. I can't think beyond that. It's debilitating, and I can't concentrate on anything. I can't describe how much anger I have for those who don't want to come to the table and discuss this. :mad:
