BRACE YOURSELF FOR THE WORSE
It is with no surprise that the lockdown in South Africa was extended with 2 more weeks. Because this is a global pandemic, hence it needs a global solution. South Africa cannot come out of its lockdown while developed countries like the UK, USA and France are all locked down. South Africa will remain in lockdown until those countries with their best health systems will come out of their lockdown first. Then we will scrutinise if their social measures after lockdown were effective. Only after that can South Africa hope to come out of its lockdown, copy social measures from those countries and apply them locally here. We cannot take the risk to take the lead and come out of our lockdown so that the rest of the world can learn from us. Never.
