Vaalweekblad reader Marcel Le Roux shares an excellent viewpoint about the effects of the Covid-19 lockdown

The best analogy I’ve heard for lockdown:
The wildebeest in Africa migrate every year, as we know, in search of food to survive. When they reach the Mara river, the crocodiles are waiting. They know this and they know they will lose a few when they cross but for the sake of the survival of the herd, they cross anyway. They have done this successfully for hundreds of years and survived.
Implementing lockdown is like putting up a fence to prevent the wildebeest from crossing the Mara river to save those that would be eaten by the crocodiles, and as a result, the whole heard dies of starvation!
