    Sounded like that would apply to areas remaining under ECQ. I do wish they’d stop trying to sell this as a health measure though. This is purely about control.
    Although it did not say so specifically, we might expect these draconian measures to be lifted under GCQ. There was no mention of an alcohol ban in the GCQ guidelines published last week. I can’t imagine the big players like SMC and Philip Morris just letting this go unremarked.

    I always imagined that the Philippines depended to a fairly large degree on tourism. They are killing that entire source of foreign money and eliminating hundreds of thousands of Filipino jobs in the process. They claim the high ground by justifying high taxes and restrictions on items that are detrimental to health, yet in a country with rampant diabetes, there are no restrictions on high-sugar soft drinks and the adding of sugar to almost every goddam thing sold.

    Why do governments of so-called "free countries" never learn the lesson that prohibition in any of its many forms does not work. Never did. Never will. Even the reality of getting murdered without trial has not really done a thing to slow the proliferation of illicit drugs in this country, or any other.

    I don't know.
    Are you contradicting yourself?

    If they were "justifying high taxes and restrictions on items that are detrimental to health", why would there be "no restrictions on high-sugar soft drinks and the adding of sugar to almost every goddam thing sold." ?

    It sounds like you want them to start regulating and taxing the sugar too!

    It doesn't sound like that at all.

    What's happening in this forum recently? Has quarantine and lack of human interaction affected people's ability to understand someone's point they are trying to make?

    (For the avoidance of doubt, that was a rhetorical question. There is no need to answer it)

    Our oral discourse ability, for some of us, is not as strong as it was pre-ECQ. Still, it kills time which is helpful..

    I think you got that right. And it would be a good thing.
