Wife just said the same thing.

 

[Düber]

Looks like he wants to cry.

He really does.
That was a serious speech.

My wine guy isn't wasting time

Well fuck...I wasn't planning on drinking tonight before driving back home tomorrow but I suddenly have a lot of booze I'm not leaving behind.

No mention was made of travel restrictions?

No.

 

[Düber]

I can't seem to find the different rules for "hotspots."
The rules CR has just given seem stricter than the current ones.

The other thing that is a bit surprising is that there was no mention of borders, travel etc.

Need to keep the economy going.

No.

Meh

Also trying to find clarity on the damned travel but nothing has been gazetted yet

A minor mention was made - lemme go find the exact wording...

Discourage travelling to hotspots.

 

[GreGorGy]

Discourage travelling to hotspots.

Ja - you're right. That is what he said. Also, at the 19min mark:

"Distribution and transportation of alcohol will be prohibited with exceptions that will be explained by the minister"

(this version

)

I hope the exception is you can take your holiday booze with you.

 

[Düber]

@GreGorGy This must surely affect your business badly?

So fucken badly. We haven't had a successful party since 13 March. And we have no plans to do anything till end January, which is starting to smell a lot like end February.

Bought one of these last time restaurants were open but no booze. Didn’t get a chance to use it. Going to be handy now...

Just digesting the speech and thinking about things, there was a lot said about the first payment for the vaccine.
It was just under $20 bar.
That is only a whisker above what the Nkandla upgrades cost.

Makes one wonder...
