NCD should go into lockdown

THERE needs to be a lockdown in the National Capital District (NCD).
I might sound cynical but it seems that NCD Governor Powes Parkop is putting the economy over people’s lives and with an election on the horizon, it may be politically motivated as well, considering people’s views on lockdowns.
He should look at what has happened in Australia.
Yes, lockdowns are not popular, but they help to slow the spread of Coronavirus (Covid-19) and give hospitals, health workers and other frontline workers the chance to catch up.
The authorities say they cannot enforce or they do not have the capacity to enforce a lockdown.
But they are asking us to adhere to the “New Normal” without proper systems to enforce it.
The enforcement bit is obviously not working.
A lockdown, even though unpopular, should be considered in this situation.
On top of assisting the hospital with the much-needed funds, there needs to be a campaign on social and mainstream media to get people vaccinated.
The campaign should focus on dispelling the lies about Covid-19 vaccines.

There should be a lockdown to slow the spread of Covid-19.
The authorities should assist hospitals with manpower and funds and ensure the truth about Covid-19 vaccines reach all people.
We need to start thinking about the bigger picture.
Other countries are starting to open their borders for overseas travellers and we will fall further behind if we do no inform people about the truths surrounding vaccination and getting people vaccinated.
We need to learn to live with the virus, but this can only be done with vaccination.
Otherwise, we will see more deaths of our loved ones.
I know three people who have contracted the virus, all have been fully vaccinated.
They only had mild symptoms and all have fully recovered without any side effects.
I want the authorities to think about this and put people’s lives ahead of money and politics.
