You can buy alcohol in all the supermarkets so it's not a big problem.

For now. We've just lost that right.

Unlike here where it would all be cold turkey.

No dogging, country driving, etc?
See o' Borris is going a bit crazy and the locals are giving him a BIG fuck you

I saw that, there hasn't been any talk of that here. Supermarkets can continue selling their full range, online businesses can still operate as normal.

country driving

Supposedly no problem with driving here if you're on your way to get some exercise or going shopping, it was one of the points made in the Q&A they held.

Lucky, we can't even go dogging.
Have to run around the house 10 times or swim 100 laps in the jacuzzi

I'm really impressed with our governments actions, a full lock down is the only way. And in the case of this country, less alcohol means less violence and hospital beds occupied. So it makes sense.

But the likes of Trump and Borris aren't quite getting it yet.

True, but as one of the drunkest countries in the world 2 weeks in, there might be problems and a big voter loss for cANCer

No one is quite as bad as Trump (well, maybe Bolsanaro), he thinks everything will be back to normal in 2 weeks.

Have you seen how alcoholics behave when they need their fix?

No idea, I always have my fix.

It's a beautiful time. A beautiful timeline...

Definitely won't be having load shedding.

Eskom: Demand dropped by over 6 000 MW ahead of lockdown | Business

Eskom says it does not anticipate load shedding during the lockdown period, in part due to a major drop in demand for electricity.

Why do you say that? We're not even allowed to take the dog for a walk (not that I have one).

Do you have to work? What do you do that is an essential service?

It's all the people in the different chains of essential services who will still be out and about. Add to that the rest of us who will still go out to a shop, pharmacy etc. People will still have contact.
There's a shit load of businesses who will be operating still. All I'm saying is that this is not a complete lock down
