Testskits are very important, so I am very grateful to CACOVID for this. It is unfortunate that the govt was ready to lock us down but wasn't ready to spend enough money to get sufficient test kits for a nation with 190m people, and the private sector had to step in to get them.

However, what they are saying about sharing food and the time the test kits will arrive (2 weeks) suggests that we will be under lockdown for a very long time. Instead of following South Korea's proven method of beating the virus, we're sitting at home and wasting away, unnecessarily.
whats south Korea's method pls?

1) They rely heavily on rapid testing and contact tracing. Unlike many countries, which test only people with symptoms, they test anyone who may have been exposed to the virus. If you are sick, they will test you. If you have been exposed to someone who tested positive, they will test you. If they don’t believe that have been exposed but you still want to get tested, they will collect your money and test you, and use the money to make more test kits, but if you test positive, they will return your money. Those who test positive are taken to hospitals if they are very sick or special dormitories if they are not very sick. Those not showing symptoms are advised to stay at home and they will send food and other essentials to your house and check up on you every day. They will also make you download an app that alerts them if you leave your house.

The logic behind their strategy is that the people spreading the virus are the unconfirmed cases. By testing everybody who may have been exposed to the virus, you can identify almost all the people who are infected and isolate them so they can no longer spread the virus. If you can identify all the people who have the virus and isolate them, it can no longer spread.

2) They recommend the wearing of medical face-masks in public, and most South Koreans use high quality KF94 face-masks that are similar to the N95 face-masks used by doctors treating Coronavirus patients. They don’t believe that quality face-masks should be reserved for healthcare professionals. Every South Korean is allowed and encouraged to use the best medical face-masks that they can afford to protect themselves. They produce enough medical masks to protect everybody.

3) They also do other reasonable things that most countries are doing. They encourage washing of hands, physical distancing, and masks, but there is no lockdown. There is no travel ban, but all travelers must stay isolated at home for 14 days under close supervision. Large gatherings are still banned. Schools were closed but are now being reopened. Sport events will be opened, but without crowds on the stands.

South Korea was one of the first countries to be hit massively by COVID-19. At the peak, they had about 800 confirmed cases every day, but since then it has been dropping consistently, to as low as 8 cases a day. And they did it without destroying their economy. They even conducted elections very recently; it went smoothly, and we are yet to see a spike in new cases.

I would have loved the s Korea testing model but we do not have the ability to carry out so much tests. our leader are contended with waiting for free test kits and diverting it for the elite. We don't have what it takes to be south Korea. Even UK too struggled.

Stupid people, another audio strategy to extend the lockdown, one nonentity in a particular post was saying since people survived hunger during civil war , we should sit at home and die of hunger. May thunder locate that guy and fire him
Oga, did you read the article? This is a private initiative. It isn't the government.

There is no option but to extend the lockdown until the pandemic is under control. Pray you don't get infected.

The lockdown isn't the issue, the pandemic is! Without the pandemic, there'll be no lockdown.
