Sakin lang, and probably others who still have to travel, go to an office tomorrow, and hold meetings...
My disposition is on the fatalistic side--I'm already assuming that I will get the dreaded Covid, and so I stocked-up for our small household on what we would need for home treatment and recovery--acetaminophens (nyquil and dayquil from the US last year), juices, ingredients for edible soup, fruits, rice, vick's, meats, etc. The point is I (or my household) would not want to add to the crowd in the hospitals and attempt home remedy as first option. We will ask for confinement, if the fever lasts for 5 days or if there's really some serious suspected infection that needs to be looked at. And also, even with the slightest symptom, I will immediately inform my boss honestly and quarantine myself, again, because I am selfless enough to worry about contributing to the spread the virus.
Otherwise, business should go on. From my reading, the mortality rate of Covid is not at a Cholera ("Love in the Time of")-level of yesteryears. The main problem is that Covid spreads fast. And because we have responsibilities that have to be attended to, and so they have to be attended to.
From the government, I would have wanted to hear a more Science-based, lets-support-the-fast production-of-UP's-testing-kits, we're-getting-this-one-small-hospital-in-Alabang-and-treat/rehab-all-confirmed-patients-in-one-place, rather than a Martial-Law-simulation.
But life goes on.
And so it goes, 'ika nga ni Vonnegut.
Yun lang.
