22 March 2021: Looking forward to better times…

22 March 2021: The number of new infections continue to soar. In the week to 18 March 3867 people tested positive. The figure is up 41% on the week. Some experts are saying that we relaxed the measures to curb the spread of the virus far too quickly at a high level of an average of 2,000 to 3,000 new infections per day. They claim that these infections became a smouldering fire that is now rekindling and are advocating a new lockdown, a real one, where no one goes to work and where schools close. Others, however, are not sure if a complete lockdown is necessary. They are arguing to keep the schools open but to maximize efforts in all sectors and situations around them. Whatever politicians will finally decide it’s becoming crystal clear that extra measures are needed to get the pandemic back under control.
