    I wrote a piece here before about taking a risk and opening up the economy - but did say that if people enter the island then that becomes a different story.

    So two boats we know of so far.

    It now all depends on how good the hospitals are in stopping the virus leaving the patient's room and what 'in quarantine' means. If quarantine is in a government building (or requisitioned one, such as an hotel) then the same applies as above. If it is at home then all bets really are off. Is someone going into the 'isolation room' and is that person capable of FULLY understanding 'barrier nursing' and ensuring that NOTHING comes out of the room that is not immediately sterilised. If not, then other members of the house may catch the virus and I assume some member(s) of the family will go out at times.

    I read from a Care Home in a Western country that they carried out 'barrier nursing' "as soon as the person showed symptoms". So with all their nursing staff and medical experts on hand, they missed the point of asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic cases spreading the virus - and we all know what has happened in Care Homes.

    Keep your masks on folks.

    Now we have another press release from Mabinay, that had two of the cases. One of the returnees was drinking with a friend. Came in May, did not get results until June. Now thy are trying to find the people that were drinking with the person who should have been in quarantine.

    We are now going back to March when all of this crazy stuff began. Not because we did not follow the rules, but because the people in charge did not do what was supposed to be done with people returning to the Province.

    Chalk it up to a "senior" moment. We all have them.

    People have been questioning why THEY were slow to change the quarantine status and did not relax things more.

    Now we know why.

    You would think that if they knew of the risks of the returnees and that's why we remained on GCQ, they would have dealt with them better, rather than this mess we appear to be hurtling towards now. These guys are nothing short of breathtakingly idiotic.

    Hello All! Today, we have just sent some students back home to Japan using PAL. Some planes are running, but the info about their schedule is sketchy at best. Good luck!

    They left from DGT airport and will catch a flight in MNL to go to Japan.

    PAL has been cancelling international flights right and left. I hope they are on a Japanese carrier out of MNL, or they may be waiting a long time for PAL to take them from MNL.

    It looks like getting out of Dumaguete is possible but getting in is not.
    My neighbors went to Europe for a vacation. The Europe part of the vacation was fine, getting home not so good. They got to Clarke Airport and have been stuck there for 2 months. Their PAL flight from Manila to Dumaguete has been cancelled at least 3 times.
    The problem is Negros Oriental will not accept them back. They have all their health papers etc. Possibly due to cost possibly because it's Sunday (sarcasm).
    Somehow I think the idiotic actions of some people in Mabinay not following their agreed upon self quarantine has something to do with this.
