[Thread] What could #AlcoholFreeSA look like under the latest MRC #COVID19SA ban on alcohol sales? Here's what the modelling says: bit.ly/2WHtNl6
• A four-week ban = A reduction of 22,212 trauma cases in hospitals
• An eight-week ban = Almost 50,000
• A four-week ban = A reduction of 22,212 trauma cases in hospitals
• An eight-week ban = Almost 50,000
2/4 Based on figures from five Western Cape hospital, ~50,000 fewer hospital trauma cases translates to:
• 124,000 less days spent in general wards during #COVID19SA under #LockdownSA
• and 46,000 less days of ICU bed occupancy or a savings of R1.3-billion
• 124,000 less days spent in general wards during #COVID19SA under #LockdownSA
• and 46,000 less days of ICU bed occupancy or a savings of R1.3-billion

"South Africa has been bleeding while criminals in the illegal trade have reaped the rewards. Whole communities have been torn apart as the ban has extinguished livelihoods that sustain thousands of families across the nation." 2/7
“Pain has echoed from the tobacco fields of Limpopo to the spaza shops of Soweto, Umlazi and the Cape Flats. Factory workers, truck drivers and store staff are being denied the ability to put bread on the table, shoes on the feet of their children and a roof over their heads.”3/7

This thread is about the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. It is for all its citizens, irrespective of race, culture, class or political affiliation. This is about one of the most important issues that we have faced as a democracy as it impacts all its citizens.
“This Constitution is the supreme law of the Republic; law or conduct inconsistent with it is invalid, and the obligations imposed by it must be fulfilled.” All citizens including members of government have sworn to uphold and adhere to the values of this binding document.
It is one of the most progressive Constitutions on earth, lauded by democracies around the world. It is this very document which is the cornerstone of our free, open and just society. It is the highest law in our land.
Our @LLopezGonzalez will be live-tweeting tonight's meeting with @DrZweliMkhize & #Covid19SA modellers. What does the future hold for #CoronavirusInSA? Stay tuned. Mkhize: There are a lot of modellers out there. Some do it academically, some we engage.
Mkhize: The NDOH has been working with modellers to refine their models. Initial models were largely based on how outbreaks behaved in other countries. #Covid19SA #CoronavirusInSA
Mkhize starts by presenting a global picture of the wide-ranging case fatality rate globally

Ernst Roets (@ErnstRoets), Head of Policy and Action at AfriForum:
AfriForum also last week demanded that the threat by Sihle Zikalala, Premier of KwaZulu-Natal, that people who test positive for COVID-19 will be forced into quarantine camps regardless of whether they are effectively self-isolating, should be retracted.
Dear President @CyrilRamaphosa and Minister @GenBheki_Cele please note that I am officially breaking #LockdownSA regulations. @SAPoliceService Rosebank just refused to give me a permit because I have an electronic death certificate. But all printing shops are closed. What now?
As a family we have had enough runaround from Bara Hospital and @HomeAffairsSA already and now this. So therefore, if I get arrested, and maybe assaulted, I tried. But I need to bury my uncle tomorrow and can't deal with your inefficiencies. #ndidikiwe
I am pleased to update that someone in the @SAPoliceService heard my cry. They contacted me, connected me to the head of police at Rosebank and the matter has been resolved. Thank you one and all for the support.
In the words of the President, when he spoke last week, he pointed out that at midnight tonight, it will be exactly three weeks since our country entered into an unprecedented nation-wide lockdown to contain the spread of the coronavirus
He outlined the measures we have taken as well as the changes that we have each had to make in our own behaviour, and that together, we have definitely slowed the spread of the virus.
President #Ramaphosa: At midnight tonight, it will be exactly two weeks since our country entered into an unprecedented nation-wide lockdown to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

President #Ramaphosa: During the course of these last two weeks, your lives have been severely disrupted, you have suffered great hardship and endured much uncertainty.
President #Ramaphosa: We have closed our borders to the world, our children are not in school, businesses have closed their operations, many have lost their income, and our economy has ground to a halt.
