As of midnight Monday, after 750 days, SA declares an end to the national state of disaster.

Editor's note: By my count of 745 days, I appear to have lost or dropped almost a week of South Africa's state of disaster. What a disaster.
With restrictions dropped at 750 days - 2.13 years - I recalibrate my count ... and the direction of the theme of this blog.
More on that tomorrow....
