Extended Quarantine

I can’t. I’ve already unfollowed so many Facebook friends because of their political views. Twisted political views. I grew up in a household where politics is never really discussed. We just didn’t care much. So yeah I didn’t really develop a liking for it growing up. I would have interest for it once in a while but I figured I have much better things to do. Also, I guess I’m lucky that I don’t have to depend to the Philippine Government for anything. Almost.



On March 16, 2020, The President ordered a lockdown or Community Quarantine whateveryoucallit. Which is okay. Understandable. We were still asked to report to work for 3 days and then the bosses decided not to open the clinic anymore. I mean, we’re not really capable of doing anything to help the government in its fight because the clinic I’m working at is just not equipped. Also, I needed the time off from work to study for my ASCPi test to be honest. Watching TV has been a very exhausting routine. With more positive cases everyday, death counts rising up, Filipinos starving, stupid politicians, good politicians being questioned, shaming healthcare workers, and a lot more chaos! We weren’t ready for this. Nobody was. I pity the poor for they have nothing. I pity the middle class for they are running low. I pity (given that they’ve worked so hard for it) the rich for they don’t have as much. Or maybe they do.



Then there are these hypocrites on Facebook. I mean, I can’t with you guys. Your minds are twisted AF. The office of the vice president offered a free shuttle service for all frontline workers because since the lockdown started, public utility vehicles are prohibited. I commute to and from work. I know how it fcking feels to have no public utility around and still have to go to work. Just 3 days. For 3 days I have struggled to go to work and home. LThe office of the vice president Leni Robredo made the right decision. And she was bashed for it. Most of the supporters of the president hates the vice president so you know. FVCK. You can hate her as a person but what she did was the right thing to do. Imagine if these health care workers couldn’t go to work because there’s no way they can? So kayo nalang din mag nurse doon kung gusto niyo.



Then there’s Koko Pimentel. Oh my. I don’t know what to think. I was so angry at him and then I am not. I just don’t think he really meant to harm anyone. Maybe because I wasn’t anywhere near the hospital. I can only feel the rage of everyone he came across with. I’d be so angry too.



Then came this VIP testing of Miguel Zubiri. Who was tested more than once and tested positive by the way. Then the list of the politicians who were marked as priorities came out and yeah basically they have used the LIMITED KITS the country have that time and despite having a logarithm that they have to follow to be tested. People are enraged that it could have saved the life of many who were not yet tested because these politicians used up the available kits. Thank goodness we have the UP people that developed a rapid testing kit. Ngayon niyo sabihin na sayang ang pagpapaaral sa mga scholar.



The healthcare worker who was splashed bleach on his face. Ang kakapal ng mukha!

Anyways, the quarantine is extended up until the end of the month. More time to study for the exam I guess. I don’t know what your thoughts are and I sure have a lot more to say but yeah. Ciao!
