This the first Monday of the quarantine and compared to yesterday's traffic, it is very heavy. The line of vehicles going north stretched, as of this writing, from the Cainta Ricarte checkpoint up to the old Taytay municipal hall and the volume is increasing as motorists from the southern municipalities of Rizal pile up.
I see a few jeepneys packed with passengers coming from Taytay to Cainta. Once at the checkpoint, these jeepneys will be checked and the excess passengers disembarked to comply with social distancing. This is the problem when there is no coordinated province wide quarantine like what Metro Manila has done. The virus do not move, people do and when social distancing is observed in one town but not in another, do the math.
I see no Taytay PNP- LGU people that enforce social distancing in public utility vehicles, yet.
Motorcycle are piling up in a disorderly way. They should keep themselves in line mindful that the quarantine team are already overwhelmed by the pile up.
At the school, I see the maintenance guys are busy doing their jobs despite the COVID threat.
I have been to four groceries looking for tasty bread and disappointed but not surprised to find out that it is out of stock.
The old Taytay market is teeming with people and social distancing is not observed. Imagine if one or two of them are infected and the surfaces they touch, or a sneeze here and there...
More people are buying bananas. I think it is humorous how people can jump into a band wagon because of a post in social media about bananas and Covid.
The road going down south is almost empty and is ideal for walking.
So, don't forget to exercise, go out for a walk for an hour or less just be mindful of social distancing or do exercises while at home in quarantine. It is medicine.
