    Captain Covid, disagrees with President Ramaphosa

    to ‘release lockdown…’

    By Zahra Lockhart

    (7 May 2020—FF News) Captain Covid, Mr. Omar Abdulla

    says that

    the release of the lockdown could have ‘dire consequences,’ for

    South Africa,

    with cases reaching 5000 in the African nation and close to four

    million worldwide.

    “The President is thinking of boosting the economy with his release

    of the lockdown,

    yet this could have a negative effect causing cases in the

    mother nation to rise, and

    the increase of the spread of the virus.’ he looped.

    Meanwhile, across the world, Covid 19 cases are starting

    to roar with the latest

    cases at meat packaging plants, nursing homes,

    grocery stores and pharmacies.

    “President Trump was too slow to close down The United States,

    and President

    Ramaphosa is too quick to open up the country. We could see a

    surge in cases and

    the rand reach R23.’ growled South Africa Today.

    Speaking to Footprints in South Africa, local resident Ms.

    Thando Sithole added that

    there is absolutely ‘no social distancing,’ in the townships of Soweto,

    Secunda, Khayalisha, Laudium, Lenasia,

    and Sebokeng.

    “President Ramaphosa is acting too quickly, and soon we will

    be in a lockdown again.’

    However, Oil prices around the world are still plummeting

    due to a lack of demand and

    the cut in production with Saudi Arabia and Russia.

    “There is simply too much oil in the world, and we are running

    out of storage space.’

    reported The Economic Times.

    Chewing on his pen and waving his hand through his hair,

    Captain Covid,

    Mr. Omar Abdulla says that outbreaks in South Africa are pretty low,

    but we could see a spike in new cases in

    Pharmacies, Grocery stores and meat packaging companies.

    “President Ramaphosa is releasing the lockdown too early, and I

    can foresee more cases with

    more outbreaks at these facilities. Our request to the president is

    this is too quick and more

    lives will be lost.’

    The Omar Abdulla Group which owns shares into Bitcoin SA,

    Forex SA, Instagram SA

    And Twitter SA said on their website that they will continue to

    buy small amount of

    shares into SEO companies Eskom, Telkom, South African Airways

    and SABC.

    “After receiving over R500 billion rand in loan packages and treasury

    bond sales, we could

    see an uptick in these shares.’

    In o t h e r news, a UFO that was spotted and released by The

    Pentagon is said to be

    aliens either to cure us from The Corona Virus, and make the

    virus strain even stronger

    in parts of The United States and Europe.

    “The flying sauces that were seen recently could be a sign

    that we are not alone.’

    NASA said on their website.

    The Holy month of Ramadaan has now hit the world, with

    Mr. Omar Abdulla said to meet

    with Islamic leaders including Mufti Menk, Zain Bhika and Maher Zain.

    “We wish all our Muslim leaders a peaceful and joyous Ramadan and Eid.’

    Concluding his remarks to The Sunday Times, Mrs. Imaan Desai kissed

    that he agrees

    with The Omar Abdulla Group and once the lockdown has been released,

    within a few weeks, we

    will be in lockdown again.
