EXTREME-Taytay is now under extreme enhance community quarantine (the government has to stop using multiple adjectives, use color or number for intensity instead) since one death and one positive cases have been reported by DOH yesterday.
One of them have died and was cremated 4 days ago while the other one was confined to the hospital fighting the disease. The victims have had social contacts with many people, unrestricted. Do the algebra.
For days, the Taytayeno behaved as if the contagion have not crossed the border. The enforcement of the quarantine was lax and I have observed a few days ago that PUVs operate despite the Luzon wide lockdown. BUT IT IS UP TO THE PUBLIC TO ASSUME THAT EVERYONE IS INFECTED.
Of course, this does not mean that the LGU lied, It's just that confirmation was late in the coming.
BUZZING-There are mosquitoes in the house. They are starting to get on our nerves.
Being confined in a small space plus the incessant news both on TV and soc med of the rising statistics on new covid cases especailly near us are adding up to the stress, already a notch below panic. The mosquitoes are making it worse.
My girls complain.
I spray insecticides making sure that every nook and cranny of the house is treated. We have to take our breakfast outside for thirty minutes to wait for the chemical to dissipate. We return inside only to find that there are still survivors.
What are mosquitoes for anyway? Do they serve any purpose?
Malaria, dengue, chinkungunya, zika and hosts of other mosquito borne viruses have killed more people than any diseases.
Thinking about COVID and mosquitoes, I realized that this insect plays a very important role: to control the population of the Earth's parasite under control.
I'm going nuts.
