I don't know about you but I want to scream every time I see a stupid FB post about people "putting on weight" during lockdown and wondering how they are going to get through the door. Or the ones of people dancing to their fridge for a snack as a form of exercise! Wake up you morons! Most people's fridges are empty! They have had no work for almost 3 months so how have they been putting food on the table? Some have been lucky enough to receive a portion of their salaries or UIF payments to see them through but I very much doubt if they have money for "snacks" or luxuries!
The people who work for themselves who have been forced to stop trading have had no income at all!
I am so glad that some more lockdown restrictions have been lifted but for many, it may already be too late.
So, pick up your phone and call someone who you know may have had no income, or someone who lives alone and may be depressed. Check up on people you know, even if you just chat via messaging. If they need assistance and you can give it, then do so or just give some moral support. We seriously need to stand together now as much as we did 3 months ago.
