Neighbours see unusual deliveries and stay at homes and draw their own conclusions. I am convinced there is more out there than MoH is aware of, and after all, plenty of people are reluctant to get that lot of public servants involved in their lives when they are convinced they can handle it themselves.When your emergency pack to fight omicron is panadol, strepsils and rest you can see why they may be hesitant to get themselves locked away for close to a month.
