LETTER: SA needs a cogent plan for economy and vaccine transparency
The extreme tardiness of our government in obtaining Covid-19 vaccine supplies will result in an extended period of rising infections and more deaths extending well into the third quarter of 2021, a good six months after most of the world will have gained some measure of control over the virus.
The government needs to come clean, admit major policy errors, have proper question-and-answer briefings, and present a cogent plan. Is it intent on closing the economy and social mobility for the whole of 2021? Will it continue to extend the state of disaster month by month, with no explanation as to what is intended to be achieved so that actual outcomes can be compared? Is it cognisant of the fact that this will kill the economy and all jobs in our country?..
