No magic switch

Trevor from Havelock North

Why is it that a lot of people think there is a switch that will turn off the virus when we go into lockdown 2? They seem to think that as soon as the rules are relaxed that they can't catch it and can start socialising again.

Sorry, the risk is exactly the same as it was the day before. … View more
Why is it that a lot of people think there is a switch that will turn off the virus when we go into lockdown 2? They seem to think that as soon as the rules are relaxed that they can't catch it and can start socialising again.

Sorry, the risk is exactly the same as it was the day before. THERE IS NO "ON/OFF" SWITCH.

I urge you all to stay within the rules, keep your distance, and keep washing your hands. If this gets away again we will be living in a third world economy, our way of life will likely never return. Not in our lifetimes anyway.
