At the time of this writing we are on Day 7 of a 21-day national full-lockdown in South Africa. We cannot leave our homes except under circumstances requiring medical intervention or to acquire food & pharmaceutical supplies.
South Africa, India, China, France, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, and the UK have implemented the world’s largest and most restrictive mass quarantines with more countries poised to follow. According to reports some 35% of the world’s population is currently under some form of lockdown or restriction of movement and suspension of civil liberties right now. We are a world at war with an invisible enemy – Coronavirus.
