Best Posts in Thread: 24 hour curfew for seniors and students [IMPLEMENTED IN DUMAGUETE]

I have two cars that need to go to the now open repair shops but I am quarantined and can't take them because of the 24 hour curfew for seniors. Some groceries have special hours for seniors...but we are in 24 hr quarantine.

LIBERATE THE SENIORS!

shakey aka John

 

Well, since both members in my household are over 65 and we currently have no one under 65 here to get food, medicine, pay electric bills, pay water and cable, (get beer), I guess I will have to take the chance. I will go out on short trips IF necessary because the cure starts to get worse than the disease. It is good they are doing this to expose how un-thought out this decree was made. And at Mercury drug where seniors must go to procure needed medications. Hope it hits the news. If wife cannot get diabetic medicine, I don’t care if they kick us out. In metro Manila they give a provision that one person in the household even if elderly can leave once a day to get needed supplies; I don’t see any young persons in this barangay coming to our gate offering their services to do this for money but if there were I would gladly hire them. So we will see what happens when I get “caught”. :Idk.

I have seen some in FB who will take initiative to make a group to help old expats over 65 who can't go out. Frankly, I don't think the problem exists, very few single guys here lol and the few I know are under 65 and has chosen to be single. I know one expat who can go out because of an accident but he has live in housemate/helper and friends who will be there for him.. I don't say the problem doesn't exist but I can't imagine anyone with no friends or neighbors who are willing to help. On the other side, I know many Filipino who lost their job and face hard times to feed their family, some barangay give help to poor families, I know they do in Dauin but other places don't. We can all give a few kilo of rice and maybe some canned goods to our poor neighbor if we have some. Only give if you feel for it, no pressure it's up to the individual to decide if they want to give a little help to the people who are in need for it

 

what is the definition of students in this case? just people going to school and/or university ? including minors or not? babies are mostly no students ... ? people in their 30's making the driving license are students ... I find this order/advice confusing

 

I disagree that elderly people going out for basic NECESSITIES a few days per week (an example would be the new Bohol EO by their gov yap who apparently realizes the problem) will risk overrunning local hospitals which currently are treating zero active cases. The ways to guard against spread of infections are well known; you probably disagree and that is OK but I don’t think requesting a reasonable accommodation for the basics of life is “moaning and groaning” unless such reasonable accommodations were totally impossible, which has not been shown to be the case. But thank you for your concern. It is premature but degamo may have the same thinking as mr yap.

explain that to a 5y old who just wants to go out on his bicycle for 20 minutes a day. cant traumatize a whole generation of kids because of this sh*t.

 

No checkpoints .... I am out

 

If that is how they left it, I would appreciate that they don’t clarify lol.
