Best Posts in Thread: maybe we can get out.

Running out of money is the only reason I can see for wanting to leave.
The death tolls for place like Iran, Italy etc. are fairly high.
The virus has been around Manila and area for a while, maybe a month or longer. So far there are not very many death for a city of 12 million.
Maybe being here in the PI may not be such a bad thing.

 

I feel sad you feel the need to apologise for writing to your fellow citizens in your own language. This is very clearly a sensible thing to do and it is very kind of you to show concern for tourists from your country. I am sure this forum is tolerant of how people communicate, according to specific needs.

 

"COOL"

 

I just heard from Tom, he is in Copenhagen and arranging his final leg to Norway. He is very happy he managed to get on the boat. There was no charge and the Tourist Department picked them up by bus and took them to the Savoy hotel, then he took a taxi to the airport.

 

Im sure most of these supposed foreigners that fled to the hills, are just tourists/backpackers,
(I mean tourists in the true sense of the word) trying to get out as they will run out of cash etc etc.
the older settled brigade like myself, where are we going to flee too, why would we flee, whats all the panic about, we were here for all 3 months of the China crisis, and we never left, never had any intention to leave, sat back watched the news and sipped our Pilsen. The Island is awash with good veggies, chicken, rice, pork, fruit

relax with all this trapped talk
