2nd UPDATE:
Well, it seems that Manila is already on lockdown after all...
Chaos is here already.
Medical personnel on the way to report to their stations are getting stuck in checkpoints. Well played duterte
Sunday March 15, 8:30 am
UPDATE:
According to PCOO andanar: no more curfew
This just shows how incompetent is this administration... Not only they, obviously, don't know what to do but with these flip-flops, they provoke panic and worsen the situation
Waiting for another flip-flop... soon to come!
That was faster than the actual, official rules: from Community Quarantine to Lockdown to Blockade to Curfew.
This is how they fix the problem? By putting Manila under curfew at night? Does the virus make a difference between day and night???
This just shows how incompetent is this government: they don't have the slightest idea on what to do and instead of looking at what other countries successfully do, they just threaten people with military and police!
Seems to me utterly preposterous that Duterte & minions are planning a month-long Metro Manila lockdown without mentioning anything AT ALL about expanding ρáíd sick leaves, wage/rent subsidies & cash transfers to help tide over everyone, especially the poor and minimum wage earners.
Plus not a word on the provision & dissemination of test kits, or support given to med professionals
Their only answer is to use force against the citizens as if the virus will be scared of the military!
Intimidation worsens the problem
Where is the health plan? Where???
Dapat ang No1 priority ng gobyerno? COVID19 TEST KITS and TESTING PROCEDURES so the sick can be isolated first!
Example of what could be done first instead of spending millions to accommodate 40 000 troopers:
1. Mass produce & fund the locally-made testing kit and establish drive-in testing centers like in other countries
2. Convert other public facilities to quarantine centers
3. Provide protective gears to nurses and doctors
4. Deliver accurate information
5. Instead of threatening to arrest people, assure them that they are safe so they do not panic and violate the quarantine rules
6. Establish a restriction on the number of goods that can be purchased by a single person to discourage panic buying & ensure that everyone has access to necessities & food.
7. Encourage work from home arrangement even in the private sector & support those who lose their jobs.
