Definitely the economy will be in shambles (if it isn't already). But really before we can even try saving or rebuilding it, we need to be sufficiently equipped to fight the pandemic. Machismo and militarism will not save us. Let Bolsonaro and Brazil be a warning of what happens when a populist president of a 3rd world country does nothing.

We need mass testing (targeted testing if you want to call it that) and contact tracing. I don't understand why we still aren't prioritizing this.

They also said we'll have mass testing by April 14. It's May 24 and our testing capacity is still saturated - our daily cases hover at the 200-300 range which is a plateaued curve, not a flattenned one.

So while I'm hopefull that this govt will get their act together, I'm not too optimistic unless I see actual contact tracing systems in place.

My friends who have resto business said that almost 70% of their profit comes from “dine in” customers. With the high costs of rent nowadays, they could not simply survive with mobile deliveries and take out orders.

sa mga coronavirus hotspot (urban poor areas)... though madami na may smartphone marami parin gumagamit ng basic phone
