    "content": " Mr. Speaker Sir, I am not opposed to the amendment. It is a compromise; it is not shooting down the Motion. There was a suggestion that the Motion should also be fine-tuned so that after two weeks, it complies with the requirements of the Standing Orders. I am told that there is an amendment coming. Mr. Speaker Sir, when people come to Parliament, the security officers are using a forehead thermometer to determine our temperature as an indication that we are positive, negative or in the danger zone. I want to ask Members of Parliament to stand there for even 20 minutes as people come in. You will find that the temperatures of about three people out of 10 are in the danger zone. I took time and stood there. So, it is a matter of concern. If we come back after adjourning for two weeks, I would encourage Parliament to have testing kits, and they are very cheap. A kit from South Africa costs 19 Rand. In fact, in parliaments where people are continuing to meet, including the Senate of the United States of America and the House of Commons, Members are constantly being tested. This is because it will only take one person to test positive and nearly half of us will be in danger. All I am asking, now that there is general agreement, is that in order to make sure that we operate in a healthy environment, I think that the secret is in constant testing. Without tests we are cheating ourselves. There was an American commander who was talking about someone being patriotic and he said that you are not patriotic for dying for your nation. You are patriotic for making the other person to die for his nation."
