    Cataclysmic.
    March 15th is Fast approaching.
    Hopefully and if Not, the Government will retain current restrictions and introduce “others” to combat this pandemic.
    What we may ask are others – that’s the CHALLENGE to GOVERNMENT – they are appointed to Govern and make Decisions – and they need to URGENCY.
    Inoculation – turbo plus charge it – but citizens must be given choice – and not dictated to – told to take what is in the syringe.
    No to Russian or Chinese – peoples freedom of choice.
    A rule and law of Democracy.
