I FEEL it was right to drop the daily Covid-19 press conference as we approach 100 days of lockdown measures. They have become repetitive and boring. Ministers reading out the same stuff day after day.

Moreover, media questions were either cut short or not answered directly. Ministers simply churned out the same old mantra. It’s time to concentrate on the backlog of cancer sufferers, stroke and heart attack cases and other major illnesses that may carry a higher risk of death than Covid_19.
