Your invitation to our webinars showing SA Lockdown is killing businesses, jobs, hope

Last night I received the latest Covid-19 analysis from Stanford Medical School’s Prof Michael Levitt. The SA-born and raised Nobel prizewinner concludes the pandemic has peaked in Europe with mortalities around 20,000 worse than those recorded in the 2017/18 flu season. Fractional for a population of 250m people and a long way from panicky initial forecasts by the World Health Organisation. Even more so from The Imperial College of London’s projection that left unchecked, in the UK alone 550,000 would succumb to Covid-19. The Imperial College’s research panicked Britain’s politicians into switching from a trust-our-citizens Swedish-style approach into a tight lockdown. Its worst estimate is likely to end up at least 10-times above the UK’s coronavirus mortalities.

Given its relevance, our noontime webinars this week both focus on the consequences of SA’s Lockdown, especially as its continuation seems heavily influenced by the since discredited Imperial College (and WHO) projections. Apart from regular guest David Shapiro, today’s Rational Radio webinar at noon features the IRR’s Frans Cronje (from 12:10) and DA leader John Steenhuisen (from 12:35). Given the public interest nature of the event, we’ve opened today’s webinar to all (not just Premium members). But you do need to register.

The theme continues in the free-to-air Noontime Thursday webinar. This week it features three independent thinkers. Ray Cadiz, a Beit scholar to Oxford and Harvard MBA who has created two major financial services businesses, has been obsessed by the Covid-19 pandemic as his army of social media followers will attest. He’ll be joined in our virtual studio by the co-authors of the explosive PANDA report, Nick Hudson and Peter Castleden. Data processed by these actuarial scientists concludes that with millions driven into poverty, the Lockdown will end up killing between 29 and 100 times more South Africans than Covid-19.

Although scientists were initially shooting in the dark on Covid-19, with time more data has emerged and the picture gets clearer as with Prof Levitt’s latest fact-based conclusions. Few question president Cyril Ramaphosa’s wisdom of imposing the initial Lockdown, which gave SA’s health service workers time to prepare for the pandemic’s impact. Extending the economic shutdown, however, is now looking like a dreadful mistake. The Lockdown won’t eradicate Covid-19. But it will kill businesses, jobs and hope.
