These are the public health threat from the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic and health effects of the lockdown, and a range of intractable economic problems not directly due to the current pandemic.

But the true number of COVID-19 is difficult to quantify. A limited number of tests have been done, and community-wide screening for suspected infectious cases has been delayed.

On top of this, South Africa may find itself permanently harmed by the simultaneous destruction of both the demand and supply sides of the economy under an extended generalised lockdown.. For example, an extended lockdown could result in the undermining of other health services, such as the immunisation of children.Early forecasts suggest significant economic disruption from the current lockdown, which is costing the economy an estimated R13 billion per day.

Where do I report this FAKE NEWS

We are in a lockdown qha qwaba. We dint need ur theories

Education was just a distraction, they don't want our solutions.

TRUE THAT

Every armchair analyst is going to come out and talk about the economy and the negative effects of the lockdown like they give a shit about the poor or working class. Pointless article.

Ngenxa yenkawuza qha? Even went that far to justify a conclusion that you had already reached?

All the solutions there assume that the south African health care system is as good as the German system which the studies this plan is based on refer to.

Corona is killing thousands in a day. Check world statistics. Poorly written blog.

DA tendencies

If there is one thing that LOCKDOWN emphasized, it is the difference between privileged and underprivileged. We seriously need to take a step back from our own little issues and open the eyes of our hearts. Inequality is REAL. HOW DO WE TAKE PART IN FIXING THIS? lockdown

This article is pointless mxm

The lockdown has reached its peak in being effective. The extension is rather a focus divergent.

Nonsense ...

Let us all stay in doors, coronavirus the Covid-19 is not a joke brothers and sisters it kills. Let us try our best to wash hands for 20 seconds plsss. Our lives comes first.

DA propaganda machine
