Residents complain as Bucor closes road

In the one year period that we had the covid, this post wonders about some of the traffic rules formulated by the LGUs/and or the police.   

1.   No passing by the highways in some of municipality (or sometimes total closure of the municipality

      to outsiders.   

2.   Circuitous routes of traffic, one ways etc allegedly to help combat the spread of virus.

3.   The barricades, the concrete chb walls being erected in the middle of major thorough fare allegedly 

      to  stop the march of the virus;

      One can not help but to wonder the relevance of such moves and effectiveness vs covid19

As if the virus is a march of hordes of wild animals or insects that enter a territory.  But the virus is invisible and is spread by drop infection:  when people come together  in closed spaces for prolonged period of time that there is a virus load. within the airways and throat of the hosts.     

How can virus be spread in the 3 conditions mentioned above.?

The sad result is that such measures were not able to control  the surge of covid19 cases.   

The leftists and critics are right - the enforcers and the frontliners should understand the science of this pandemic rather than blindly following orders and or formulating ones that have no scientific basis.  

Surge in number of cases and infection amidst the family gatherings is very scary

Before, covid19 was just a third party conversation:   the rest of the town, country and most of us are pretty much uninvolved and concerned. 

However things changed much during the 2nd week of March.  Little did we know that we could be involved, or nearly infected   We held a wake for a deceased relative and little did we know that one of the  visitors during the first day of the wake, March 16 (and he too probably) was positive.  Well he knew of that only last Sunday  (March 21, 2021)   Although we did not have first handtier contact with him, we did huddle with the persons with whom he conversed.

So we had to do a lot of contract traicng and advised other relatives and visitors during the wake to 1.  go on self quantine,  2.  undergo antigen or the RT PCR testing.

We had this test yesterday and cost us a hefty sum to have this RT PCR testing.

We ought to be responsible during this pandemic to help prevent the virus spread:

1.  Follow the rules;;

2.  Stay at home

3.  Wear masks and face shield

4.  Be responsible enough not to mingle with others if you feel you have the virus
