I have noticed in most places the social distancing enforcement a bit lacking, checkout queues are worst, i think most people maybe have a fear that if they are not 6" from the person in front that they might lose their place in the queue.

 

Party's over, folks.
Members of the Dumaguete City Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) called out Friday night partygoers gathering along the Escaño Beach in Dumaguete City and told them to go home.
The Dumaguete City government is now strictly implementing the curfew amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the city.
As of January 9, 2021, Dumaguete City has 107 active coronavirus cases, according to the latest tally from the Provincial Health Office.

 

I'm not surprised cases are going up, went to pay SSS, It was a f'ing disgrace. No distances at all, everyone pushing against each other.
Even in the waiting tent out side the chairs were not at distances. Said to wife, no way I'm not going in with that rabble. Only takes one with covid-19.

 

Boodle fight
My wife explained what this was some time ago and i am sorry if it offends anybody's culture but if i was invited to one of these i would not go unless they supplied me the proper tools for the job, fork, knife and spoon and i would also be first in line before everybody else touched all the food.

 

As the amount of cases are going up we are trying to go into town less but when we do go it seems weird that all the precautions seem to be getting relaxed or disappearing altogether.
For example we went to Mc Donald's beside the market place and the Perspex sheets between the tables have been removed and there seems to be more tables on the ground floor than last time we were there , if they want to get more customers in why don't they simply reopen the upper floor and still keep people further apart.
I commented before that wherever we go the social distancing also seems to be forgotten now and it was the same again yesterday.

JUST IN: There are now more than 1,000 COVID-19 cases in Negros Oriental after 24 new infections were reported today, provincial IATF ground commander Dr. Liland Estacion said in a press conference this afternoon (Jan. 6, 2021).
Among the new infections include a bank employee, government employee, and a pastor, and three family members of a previously infected COVID patient in Manjuyod town.
Of the new cases: 11 are from Siaton town, four are from Manjuyod, three are from Dumaguete City, two are from Tanjay City, and one case each in Valencia, Tayasan, Amlan, and Ayungon.
Two new deaths were also reported today, both from Dumaguete City: a 71-year-old male and an 83-year-old female.
The total cases in the province have climbed to 1,008; 180 of these are active cases, while there are 798 recoveries and 30 deaths. #NewsBite | via Raffy Cabristante, 106.3 Yes The Best News Editor

 

In order to clarify how the number of cases is derived one must take a scientific approach:
Firstly take a random number that most people can count to; in this case 123456789.
Then take the square root of said number and you get 11,111.111 and a teeny bit more.
Divide that by the number of cases you think you have - in this case 77 and you get 144.3 ish, which would be 12ft and a bit in old money. Convert 144.3 to cm and you get the number of days in a leap year, which 2020 is therefore proving the theory that 77 is the correct number of cases.

I rest my case.
