The irony of our times

Since our daily COVID19 infection rate is increasing rapidly in South Africa, the President recently announced that we will move to what we call Alert Level 3 Lockdown, in order to curb the spread of the Corona Virus or that’s what we made to believe...

Now Alert Level 3 Lockdown has its own regulations with the following restrictions, amongst others:

Gatherings restricted to no more than 50 indoors and not more than 100 outdoors.

Only 50 people following all COVID19 protocols can attend funerals

Alcohol sales restricted from Monday to Thursday from 10h00 till 16h00

Then there is a curfew where we are all supposed to be locked in from 22h00 till 04h00.

The irony though, one is still allowed to consume alcohol in a public establishment without following the COVID19 protocols, I mean who will drink through a mask, who will use sanitizer whilst eating, who will distance themselves from other patrons whilst visiting a drinking spot?

My questions: Why didn’t the President instead promote offsite alcohol use instead of being locked down into a confined space (for a lack of a better word) for a period of time?

This morning I tuned into radio, catch a conversation where one caller phoned in on Radio and share the daily routine, immediately when the caller mentioned Church visits, the talkshow host questions the caller, why are you still visiting the Church, what the host might have overlooked, is that we go to work daily, we visit shopping malls frequently, we attend funerals as and when required, some go to drinking spots frequently.

Why do we overlook all other functions but are concerned about the Church?

Are we not following the same COVID19 protocols at Church?

Are we even following COVID19 protocols strictly at other places of gatherings? Are we mindful how many people we interact with at our workplaces, at our shopping sprees, at our drinking spots? If we know, why are we so concerned about what happens at the Church.
