The President mentioned EXERCISING will be allowed with strict control or something to the effect.

The lock down is in place to slow the progression of the disease, not to eradicate it. No government will be able to eradicate it this year. Its here until a cure or a vaccine is found.
A vaccine is at least a year away. The earliest vaccine trials started late last month. It takes 18 to 24 months to make, test and assess the efficiency of a vaccine.
So, there is no going back to normal. Normal will not exist for at least a year.
We are projected to reach our peak in September. That means bleeding economy, rolling lock downs, death and chaos until then.
Normal is at this stage dead but hope is still very much alive.
Roll on level 3 so that the bottle stores open .My Scorpion Mezcal Joven is starting to look drinkable.

lockdown day 29
Husband: Honey, broke a glass in the kitchen.
The wife: I am coming with the broom.
Husband: It ain't urgent. You can come on foot.

I came across this message recently sent to our President. I have to admit I found it quite apt & heartfelt.
Never has he needed his nation’s support and cooperation more than right now… and leading the call is a mom of three from Greytown, Claire Lagerwall, who penned the following message to the President.
Mr President, You’re Tired – by Claire Lagerwall
My President, you’re tired
We can see it in your eyes
It’s not really something
You can easily hide
We see you across
Our television screens
Addressing the nation
On a history unseen
We see you stumble
Over words being said
And I pause to wonder
What’s going on in your head
Are you coping Sir
With all that you face
A broken nation
Looking to you for grace
Are you okay, Mr President
You look so sad
Your eyes tell a story
I’m sorry it’s so bad
We pray for you
Hold you in our thoughts
This is a war
We have never fought
I’m glad that you’re ours
That we don’t have to share
That our precious nation
Is under your care
With our cries of faith
We trusted God for a man
Who could steer a nation
Into unknown lands
Thank you, my President
For being so brave
Whilst a nation is judging
Each move that you’ve made
We pray for you Sir
We really do
And we thank God
For a leader like you

Morning all on a Saturday morning.
30 of 35 ??
The stats updated and if SA and Aus can stay coupled on the tote the President will become as popular as Mandela, if he can just open the bottle stores he could surpass the great man.
We must all behave to move us from 4 to 3, and get the wheels of industry moving.
Great racing from Shat In on sunday at 6.45 if you fancy a punt, plenty info on site.
"I want to dance"

The mind boggles. To think that Minister D-Z was touted by the JZ clique to become the new President. She was absolutely shocking.
Thank God for small mercy's.

Anyone touted by clique are all cut from the same cloth. She was to protect the cabal. I hope Cyril can use this awful to situation to clean house....properly!
