Do you need a whole day for that? How much booze do you think you have?

Good morning.

What are your all doing in this first day of lockdown?

I'll be going to work. Long weekend is complete.

Collecting rocks in the valley for my garden.

10 x whiskey
3 x gin
2 x rum
200L beer
40 x wine

But I drink Saturdays now so it will last a year plus.

And my local bootlegger already sent his price list after the speech.

+- 40 open bottles in the kitchen, not sure how much in the spare room. (3-5 boxes??)

Is that why you're awake this time of the morning?

Are you sure it's enough for 14 days supply?

 

[Tribs]

I had two bottles of Brandy in the delivery from PnP scheduled for this afternoon - no doubt they are going to remove them and refund me
This sux. I have two bottles of beer - and two Vodka and one Sambucca. But I am cool giving up for a while. It helps with losing weight.

 

[Tribs]

It is still on my order though

Health program means only drinking once a week, thus I go to sleep earlier and need less sleep.

Don’t think it will only be 14 days.

Don’t think it will only be 14 days.

Economy is already making a big sacrifice these 14 days, hence the short period of assessment, unlike the previous times. Any more time than that and Covid will be the least of our worries. Remember tons of SA's reserves have been lost to corruption and hopeless bailouts. It's that bad that government haven't been able to reserve more than 10% of required Covid vaccines for next year. That should be an indication how dire the situation is.

 

[Tribs]

If people avoid other people - 14 days will work. But people will do it for a few days and then get together with friends and boom - we have another 14 days to wait

This time around all trade is allowed except booze so the economy will be ok without it. It’s going to be more than 14 days to get over this peak.

In any case most drinkers are prepared this time.

What is the definition of a gathering?

What is the definition of a gathering?

When people from different locations/households get together for a common purpose. That is why they are even limiting how many people can go into a store again. Too many and it would be a gathering.

The concern is more the holidaymakers than the peak. Hopefully after the holidays the virus has a chance to calm down.

There are too many of us at the office.

Then tell your boss you are working from home today

Big bosses have already said they want people working in the office. There is no choice in the matter.
