For Loyiso, coronavirus reminded him that the universe doesn't revolve around humans

Instagram/Loyiso Macdonald via Rami Chueneactor Loyiso MacDonald is grateful that he still has the chance to do what he loves. -winning actor said that while the dangers to actors' livelihoods were “very real”, that they were able to work was a privilege that couldn't be taken for granted.

“I am privileged to be able to work although it has changed how we work - lack of physical contact for example. Personally, it's a great reminder that human beings are not the centre of the universe and I should make good use of the time I have,” he said. Loyiso added that for him acting was more than just entertainment, even though it isn't always an easy job, but the fact that he knows it's part of his purpose helps him out when times get tough.

“Acting has given me confidence over the years. I think because the process of acting requires you to be self confident in order to present yourself without holding back, it's started to rub off on me in my own life. On top of all that it's allowed me to earn a living and be independent.”, the actor has won himself a lot of fans and, when asked if he's one of those actors who want the art without the fame, he quickly said no.

EC has a population of around 7 million, so if 80% get infected, and 1% die (his figures), then he is anticipating 56000 deaths in EC alone, whereas other models talk about 36 to 40k nationwide... No country in the world Whatever the bullshit arround this plandemic is clearer by the day. 80% get it, 99.9% of the 80% will get sniffles or not any symtoms at all & the 00.1% that get seriously ill will have underlying conditions that make getting the 'FLU' fatal like happens every year.
