Day 3 of COVID-19 Lockdown

Cape Town, 29 March 2020.

Hello World

All quiet on the Cape Town Front. Almost eerily so. Fandom and I haven’t left the house since lockdown though I plan to take a trip out to the shops on Monday to stock up on supplies. We pulled out the swingball yesterday and had a lot of fun. The windows are coming along too. A bit more sanding today and I should be able to apply the first coat to the side windows and door.

I see ratings agency Moody’s downgraded South Africa to junk status late on Friday. This was not unexpected though the timing could not be worse and it will hamper any economic recovery we may have been expecting post COVID-19. Speaking of COVID-19, US death toll is now over 100,000 and Spain had something like 824 deaths in 24 hours.

Stay safe.
