I would urge everyone to take a moment and think about Kashmir which has been locked down by the Indian government for more than 2 months. Imagine what the Kashmiris are going through even without a pandemic.

It’s all about the immune system you’ll see South Africa’s numbers will be lower then other more developed areas.
When your immune system is working all the time then it’s stronger than someone who is always washing and disinfecting. Yes now is the time to be more careful do wash and keep your elders safe
