The restrictions imposed to delay the spread of the Covid-19 virus have given our healthcare system much needed space and time to prepare for a peak in infections. As the lockdown restrictions are eased South Africans would do well not to adopt a fatalistic stance regarding the spread of infections, however. Rather we need to take an activist stance that fully integrates low infection rates with the resumption of economic activity. The more activist we are in lowering infections, the quicker will be the pick-up in the pace of economic activity. The more activist we are, the more time we buy for the development of treatments and vaccines.
