Post-Lockdown: Open your Business with Confidence
In the context of the current crisis, many business owners will have sacrificed their life’s work and their livelihoods in the hope of saving lives. However, more and more evidence is now emerging that damage to our health, the economy and society caused by lockdowns is totally disproportionate to the risk posed by COVID19.
What this means, in effect, is that business people who believe they are doing the right thing by closing their businesses, are unwittingly participating in a strategy which is in fact costing more lives than it was intended to save. In addition, the social and economic fabric of our society is being decimated and may never recover.
This webinar aims to equip you, the business owners, with information which will assist you, as you look to reopen and stay open, and give you confidence that this will in fact save both lives and livelihoods.
It will also equip you with the information needed to lobby your local representatives or relevant ministers regarding this matter.
We invite you to join our esteemed panel of experts from the fields of science, medicine, data analysis and law.
On this webinar you will:
- Get a clear picture of the data surrounding cases, hospitalisations and deaths, as well as the impact of lockdown on these figures.
- Hear about how the virus can be effectively managed in the community, and therefore reduce the seasonal strain on hospital services.
- Get an understanding of the term ‘case’ and the limitations of the PCR test as a diagnostic tool for COVID19.
- Become well informed about the impact of the recent Statutory Instruments on your constitutional rights and those of your customers.
LIVE Webinar
This webinar was delivered live on zoom on Thursday 26th of November. Participants were able to ask questions directly to the panelists during Q&A.
We will transcribe the questions that were answered in writing and do our best to get the unanswered questions covered and published on this page.
