Not yet by the looks of things. Well not scarier that yesterdays reported stats at least. Reason being there were much tests reported on today than yesterday.
Still scary overall though.
There are some currently some issues based on what I've been following:
-Our infection rate/ curve is still very low (epidemiological specialists are unable to explain this so far)
-Testing rate is still too low, 1000 per million population means 0.1% testing rate.
- the lockdown will pretty much just buy the country time to prepare better (instead of a predicts speak in July the lockdown moves that to a September peak)
My maths might be a bit rusty but I think this captures the status quo:

I stand to be corrected but my very ancient stats knowledge would say you're meant to target 5% to be statistically significant.
That said, 1% (10000 per million) seems to be what countries are aiming for initially, with an increase as they are able to ramp up testing.

Corona, not much.
Fibre diets they call it.

DURBAN – Two British nationals are expected to appear in the Durban Magistrates court on Tuesday, for entering South Africa illegally.
According to the police's Vish Naidoo the two suspects, aged 24 and 33, entered the country via Swaziland on Saturday.
The suspects initially escaped arrest by speeding off from border officials who had informed them that they could not be granted entrance into the country as it's currently under lockdown.
“They checked in at a guesthouse in Umbilo just outside Durban, where members from our vehicle crime investigative unit as well as the diplomatic mission unit arrived and arrested these two foreign nationals.”
Naidoo said the guesthouse owner was also arrested.
“We also arrested the guesthouse owner for taking these people in because he too was in contravention of the disaster management regulations.”

Read an article earlier on the background of the possible court challenge.
The people fighting for it mostly arent registered businesses, they are taverns who admit they aren't cipc registered so don't pay business tax etc.
Those that are registered, their taxes mostly aren't in order so they don't qualify for relief.
If the news is to be believed that is.
Baked another beer bread for the nurses at the hospital SWAMBO is matron.
And then we re-upholstered our kitchen stool with some new fabric.
Doing a ton of laundry today as SWAMBO goes through clean clothes at an alarming rate. Basically every time she gets called in to the hospital, she changes when she comes back.

In my town there are some who flagrantly disregard the lockdown rules and not a single police officer in sight.
