BruceVC Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 South Africa from 1/05/2020 has relaxed our initial level 5 restrictions to level 4, that means there is certain things we can now do like walking, cycling and jogging between 6am-9am only I just went for my first real exercise in 6 weeks, a brisk and scenic 1 hour walk up to Table Mountain and back. I thought I would be much more unfit than I was and it went fine. I am going to include this routine every second day until the gyms are open again and safe to use 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Like just about every other European country, she (or the government of which she is the head) reacted slowly (slower than France and Spain) and too cautious in the start phase. What saved Germany from outlandish mortality figures were mostly two things, the country has a younger population and a very well funded health care system, so even if the infection rate is high, the mortality rate is like what? 1.5%? Still, it leads to a game of catch up rather than nipping it in the bud with a quick and total lock down. The industrial power of Germany means, that they are now testing numbers where few other countries can keep up with. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

majestic Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Our government is both patting themselves on the back and running a major gaslighting campaign. After watching Ischgl (Tyrol as a whole) export Corona literally everywhere else in the name of money tourism they issued a massive lockdown order with edicts that were (or rather, are going to be ruled) unconsititutional, gave law enforcement a carte blanche to harrass people as they please and now they're pretending that the orders were never meant to intrude upon private meetings or people's ability to go places as long as they keep the distance rules. It's ridiculous. Up until last week the police was forcefully breaking up private gatherings and issuing heavy fines and now we're supposed to believe that there never was a government mandated order to not go visit your friends and family? That they appealed to our better sense and everyone just stuck to it? Several incidents of law enforcement breaking up private parties and heavily fining participants. People were accosted by the police for being outside all by themselves, fines given for other people passing by because distance. My neighbor was harrassed while she was waiting for her train to come after having to go to work, even with a permit. People with a holiday or weekend home were expressedly forbidden from going there (so how does that work if I'm allowed to drive around as long as I'm alone and I can do what I like at home?). Sure, there are bastards in the police and I suppose a bunch of them were using the situation to assert and exercise their power over the common man, but, yeah. They just acted like that because they wanted to, right? Not because that came down from the top. Riiiiiiiiiight. Sure. Here's to hoping courts will see right through this charade and people hopefully won't be deterred from suing the manure out of the bastards. We get it, the lockdown was deemed necessary to contain the disease after reacting way too slowly after watching Italy for a while, and it might as well have been. Who knows. Hindisight is 20/20 and all that stuff, but really... just grow a spine and admit to messing it up. Sheesh. 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

213374U Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Ain't gonna happen. It's so hip and cool to make twatter posts laughing about LARPers and beauty and the beast reenactors, but the fact remains that cops aren't harassing and beating the **** out of them, while the statist parasites in the capitol buildings they walk into are at least forced to listen to them protest. The rest of us? Heh. I'll bet they are real worried about these angry posts popping up in places like forums.obsidian.net. But hey, at least we didn't die from corona. And that's the only metric that matters, right? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
