The Authorities I met with are saying NO GO -- Level 4 is Not much different then Level 5 in reality .

They are saying Under Level 3 that we should be able to OPen -- Possibly in 3-4 Weeks --

The Decision Makers in this Country are a JOKE !! They are still looking at Projections --Rather then the 4 Months Data which is Now a part of History.

The % of Deaths from those testing positive is .025 -- This Virus does not Kill --it attacks those weak & unhealthy & yes ends up being the final Nail in the Coffin & Yes many of the very old & weak may die if infected --OK --weigh it out short & long term

But the Millions upon Millions of us Now suffering Financially due to CYRIL's astute Decisions are Ridiculous ---

There will be significantly More People that Die from the Hunger & Criminal aspect of what this is about to turn into -- Forcing those with No Money & no resources into a deep dark corner --

Many Honest People will have to turn to Crime & many Deaths will become a reality due to theses circumstances --

Hopefully the government starts looking at the real deal as to what has actually occurred & sets things RIGHT SOONEST ---

The recovery time after all has been lifted is also going to be a struggle --How Many Restaurant Owners as an example will simply walk away ??

Landlords will get no Rent --the Domino effect is devastating --

Sorry for getting carried away --But the Situation is unacceptable at Best -Pre-Cations YES --Total Shutdowns NO !!!

Hope to see You all soon !!
Steve

Uncle Steve, I agree fully with you! Nothing but a gloryfied flu virus! And the ripple effect accross the globe is HUGE, because of fear that the media creates. 12000 people at British Airways, 15000 at Boeing are losing their jobs. That's just 2 companies.
In SA, SA Express has been liquidated, SAA and Edcon is not far behind.....

Completely agree!

Sad news indeed!

I'm curious, what Is HOE categorised or classified as under the regulations?

This is sad news Boss. It forces me to go to the private houses you slandered a while back. I see they opening in their droves. Lots of new listings and photo updates in preparation for opening next week. I DO PREFER your upmarket spot with a view down on the rest but I have no alternative but to make use of the private houses now.

Sad news indeed :(

Agreed Steve. Search for Dawie Roodt on youtube in the last 2 weeks. Yes Corona kills and is deadly, but the inevitable economic fallout and drastic increase in poverty will kill many more people (indirectly, not through hunger).

We simply aren't Europe or the US that can lock down an entire economy for 2-3 months and come out the other end okay. We don't have the stimulus or the reserves as a nation.

What makes it worse is the draconian and non nonsensical regulations around banning cigarette and liquor sales, exercising only during certain times and curfews. Its maddening!

Bugger. That is sad news.
