Yesterday, we just had a confirmed case positive of NCov19 here in our town, the fifth one according to Dept. of Health (DOH). I wonder if they are telling the truth or hiding something so as not to create panic or offend their big boss who said a few weeks ago that “this too will pass”. There is something not right.
Even if the place is quite far from us, I am still wary of public places where there are so many people. Reports say that the patient has no history of travel but regularly visited the mosque at Greenhills, San Juan City. He is now confined at RITM (Research Institute for Tropical Medicine).
Our town mayor, Mayor Atty. Kit Nieto has posted this message on his Facebook page a few minutes ago:
“I am constrained to suspend classes in all levels both public and private from today (assuming there are) until Tuesday to provide ample opportunity for the general services office to distribute additional masks on top of the 50,000 pieces we have already distributed a couple of weeks ago.. all cainta students will be provided face masks and protective sanitizers and vitamin c to mitigate the probabilities of the virus spreading.. more directives to come.. all trike drivers. And puj drivers are likewise directed to wear masks while plying their routes.. GSO Lyndon Camacho Batanes procure what is necessary should the resources be inadequate”.
With his health team, he visited those places close to the patient to distribute face masks, disinfectant and vitamin C and letters telling them of the latest news by DOH. Good thing our town mayor is proactive. It might be hard to contain this virus when it spreads but at least the people are aware of what to do. Salute Mayor Nieto 🙂
It’s now code RED for DOH, his wife was also tested positive.

It is worrying, but the sense of panic fuelled by the media worries me more. We now have panic buying in shops locally, and some people are verging on hysteria, as they talk about nothing but this virus.
Best wishes, Pete.

There is no panic buying yet here Pete, so far. Our town mayor has just posted a video. Every barangay representative were to tasked to go from house to house and advise those who have fever to go to the hospital so they could be checked. They were just given their own face masks, hand sanitizer, Vit. C and T-shirts that they will use starting tomorrow. There are two positive cases here, a husband and wife.

Here we are trying to follow the advice for our ages(69 and 72) since our disease control says we are at highest risk. So no outings with crowds and stuff delivered as much as possible. Church has changed, too.
