    This is what happens when a population generally is not educated to think.

    Personally, I am starting to consider that there not be a “happy ending”.

    Two more Covid-19 cases today in the province (guy returning from Cebu and passed it on to his wife). Both now isolated, but no doubt will have passed on to others before that. The isolation and testing is being mishandled to such an extent that there will inevitably be more cases and we will be in GCQ for a while yet.

    You're right...If you are not within 20 feet of anyone, not wearing a mask poses no problem. You are complying because you care about others. It offers little protection to you, but is there to slow down your own breath. It's a matter of respect for other people when you wear a mask and has little to do with your own health. But people don't really seem to understand thatsimple concept at all. And the misconception also seems to transcend country and culture. In public, If you are near others and you don't wear a mask, it is disresepctful to everyone you encounter.

    My main complaint with the GCQ is the lumping of under-21 with the elderly. Given the lack of border control and new cases here, I agree with the potential risk to my health and thus should stay at home (for most of the time). I can’t see why my boy, wearing a mask, can not go to the mall with my wife or ride his bike outside for exercise, given no soccer. Not good for growth and health if he stays in the house.
    My opinion is the government wants to keep the age 13-20 off the streets and malls, for many reasons. Hopefully, it will be safe to restart school in August.

    Again no problem, just heard on the news that Manila is reopening restaurants and allowing dine in, at about 50%. They had earlier reported this week, 2100 cases. We now have a whooping 11 or 13, yet no dine in and still under GCQ, for what it is worth.

    Went out today and I believe the citizens are getting fed up too. Little eateries open and people sitting in there eating. There are some not wearing masks unless in crowded areas. Had the checkpoint going into the market, 2 people sitting in the tent, not a single person checked who was driving past them.

    Maybe this has run its course but the Governor and Mayor haven't been out to take notice. I mean what is the difference from people getting take out and then going into the park and eating in public versus sitting at a restaurant outside and having a meal and a drink?

    This says GCQ not Modified GCQ. It also says that only the IATF makes the decisions. (Reported today by Yes the Best.)

    Negros Oriental will remain under general community quarantine (GCQ) until June 15, despite 11 new COVID-19 cases reported in the province this week.

    He pointed out that only the national Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) can decide whether to tighten or relax community quarantine measures in Negros Oriental.

    Sorry, not talking about a person but rather a process that has long separated itself from having any logical purpose. On the bright side, the madness and its reactions are entertaining to read about here, everything from brewing bathtub beer to getting notes from the B. Captain to go out and play to old men conspiring with his helper to lie about his age so he can go inside the mall. This is not happening in ALL countries you know; we are pretty unique!

    It seems the thread has been hi-jacked into a pi$$ing contest. No more useful information.
