I haven't posted anything on this blog since the Coronavirus pandemic started. This is one of those "where were you when" moments in history. This isn't the same as countries going into war against one another, nor is it tantamount to the end of civilization as we know it, but it is a cause for worry. The every day Joe worries about what he and his family have to eat, and whether he will still have a job when he wakes up the next day. Most people don't have tons of cash on reserve, so, best to be prepared. It doesn't help that the rendering of services c/o of the government is inconsistent at best.
I never thought that I'd ever experience something like this in my lifetime. In truth, no one thinks he/she will ever witness countries and economies being brought to a standstill anyway. That isn't something on anyone's usual to do list.
To date, there are just a little over 3,000 confirmed Coronavirus cases in the Philippines. My suspicion is that this number will continue to rise as testing becomes more readily available and as things (hopefully) become more organized.
Who knows where this will go. I could go into the nitty gritty of how this government and that government has failed or succeeded in implementing different Covid 19 mitigation programs, but I don't think I want to ruin my Sunday morning. I'll leave the policy making to the policy makers. I won't be aloof, though.
Let's all stick together and win this battle as one.
