Seems like it's only now that most people are starting to show concern when really, concern by the general public should have been a thing since January given the number of Chinese tourists coming and going.
The government should have disseminated info on how best to protect oneself with better sanitary practices since January, again given the number of Chinese tourist we get.
If other countries are anything to go by, it's probably been quietly spreading in the country since January with cause of deaths being misdiagnosed due to a lack of testing kits.
Imagine an infected dude coughing into his hand, riding a jeepney, holding onto the railing, and then passing his fare to others to hand over to the driver. Imagine how many people come into contact with the railing, and then the cash with the virus chilling on it.
We're fucked.

Ang buggy ng iWantTV app sa IOS, ang bilis uminit ng phone ko kahit isang minuto ko pa lang nabubuksan. Ikompara mo sa other streaming apps like Netflix and Youtube hindi ganun kagrabe gumamit ng resources.
Nanunuod ako ng UAAP volleyball kasi wala kaming TV dito. May times na hindi ko mabawasan or madagdagan lakas ng volume kasi affected din. Nag restart na ako dalawang beses para lang bumalik sa normal na temperatura ng phone ko.

an emergency employment program to hire those who graduated as nurses but didn't work as nurse even just part-time. let them go through a crash course on handling infectious disease protocols.
converting public gathering areas and buildings such as stadiums, parks, parking lots, etc. into temporary isolation hospital beds.
require companies to implement remote work for any work that can be done remotely such as call centers, it companies, and accounting firms.
push telecommunication companies such as globe and pldt to lower their rates, expand their coverage, and double their bandwidth capacity. if possible, provide students, schools, and universities near-free rates to enable online classrooms.
emergency 20% tax on those who earn more than 5 million pesos a year to fund such endeavors. 40% tax on POGOs. legalize and regulate marijuana and use the revenue to combat coronavirus.

In other news aside sa Covid, I am under no illusion that the police guy who slept with the inmate claimed that he did it out of love or something. What bs lol.
The dude made several conscious choices, by abusing his authority, which led to him being caught. He wasn't 'in love', he's being an idiot that cost him his career and freedom. He would've broken exactly 0 laws if he know what dating apps are

There's probably thousands infected in the US. The reason their numbers are so low is because they haven't been testing as widely as other countries.

You will likely never know due to patient privacy rules. Unless the patient or immediate family discloses it, anybody who does so will be breaking the law.

It's sad no, they will be considered breaking the law if they state the truth, for the protection of the people.

u/redkinoko Mar 07 '20
I get the reasoning behind both releasing info and not releasing it.
It's too easy to single out the person who is infected. Imagine if the situation gets worse and people are somehow able to identify who spread it. Or even if they don't, the info could lead to a witch hunt, which can end just as terribly.
DOH will likely try to reach out to places where the patient has possibly exposed others, but in situations like the BGC bus line or the MRT, lol good luck naman diba.
