The ANC is respecting your rights, and that is a pro. I would say that every citizen must evaluate their position and take everyone around them under consideration. Too many people only think about themselves.

In my own stance, once those who are prioritised are vaccinated, which is in my view everyone in healthcare, the sick and elderly, then I will take the vaccine.

Taking the vaccine must be promoted, even by 'private' policy. I don't need to quote Spock, again.

The issue, however, is supply meets demand...

Sorry, not for me - no extreme emergency that we can see...


Exactly. No need for this.

As long as you practice social distancing and good (and proper) hygiene then no one can question your position as long as you respect other people’s decisions and most importantly their rights. You cannot assume that our society has obtained herd immunity, or that you live in a presumed immune bubble, this being said in general. We as a nation need to get there, together.

There are imperative societal mechanisms in my view. For example:

- The economy demands continuity, and the vehicles which enable the economy must be respected.
- Education is a must, irrespective the circumstances, but give people the choice to be removed and give them the option to participate in education at home, online or in another suitable environment. Yes, many don't have the means or access, but the blame is then solely on the state and not on the people.

Far too many politicians have made moves to roadblock our rights to promote their campaigns.

Nobody wants to be caged, and personally I believe that our regulations have been overeagerly implemented and that we could have adopted better models. The result being a rebellious populace. I don't think that we are an obedient nation, but we are grown up to the point we can comprehend our actions.

Sure, that we can agree on.
The rest is down to you believing in the emergency, me not.
 
Chose not to watch. Off-site consumption being permitted, does that mean I still can't have a glass of wine in a restaurant bit can buy 10 cases of Thursday for my weekend slaughter?

You are allowed to drink in a restaurant from 10am to 10pm
 
This time, don’t get caught out with your pants down. Systematically stockpile booze if you enjoy it. Stop buying beer by the 6pack, get 2 cases at a time. Wine, as well. It’s not going to hurt to have a case or three of whisky either. We ended up having so much here and I’ve never drank as much thanks to Cele! I still have a nice stash here, but I’ll definitely restock on the Coronas. I even bought smokes and cigars and I‘d quit for years before these lockdowns. Thanks NDZ!
Just expect that there WILL be a third wave because they will not manage to roll out this vaccine properly, and winter is coming.

Yeah, best you keep some twatwaffle science fiction crap out of real life. People that think there is some deep wisdom in the words of something that is little better than a ****ing cartoon shouldn't be allowed to speak with the grownups.
 
@bwana , maybe you should close the vote - we've got hindsight now, thinking of changing mine ;-)

Yes. No one in Tanzania is allowed to have COVID. It is illegal.

BTW, what do they do if someone definitely has it (can't breathe etc.) - just ignore it in the stats, or quickly export them?

They stopped counting in April 2020. However the "end" of Covid-19 has not stopped Tanzania from begging for money from the West to fight the pandemic.

www.trtworld.com

Tanzania’s policy towards Covid-19 has been to deny it

Even as global cases climb to 100 million, Tanzania holds firm to the idea that the pandemic is nothing but an overblown scare.

Tanzania should account for COVID funds and stop hiding behind the facade of sovereignty

Tanzania apparently doesn´t have a problem with Covid 19, because three days of prayer has made it go away. What the government does have is money from the international community to fight the virus - and money to give away at election rallies. It doesn´t add up and neither do the governments...

Sad denial extremes.

However, have to agree about it being an overblown scare - of course there's a lot of cases, it's highly infectious, but that confirms how low the mortality rate is. MSM will MSM.

or maybe ban cigarettes once again. NDZ needs the income from the illegal sales.

Depends on the state of her finance. If they are low she will restrict the sale of all tobacco products
