It's Better To STAY AT HOME Than To Be STUCK IN A HOSPITAL During The #COVID19Outbreak

Sure, it must be VERY BORING to be stuck at home, right? I heard that Sarah Elago allegedly said that the lockdown or quarantine is making people have a hard time. Being required to stay home for any good reason is very boring. The reason right now that people are required to stay home under quarantine (or even enhanced quarantine) is because Coronavirus or COVID-2019 (or as I'd like to dub it as the Legacy Virus) is HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS. It easily spreads from person to person. Besides, President Rodrigo R. Duterte consulted the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) was consulted regarding the issue. Chel Diokno should criticize the COVID-19 relief operation BEYOND constitutional and unconstitutional.

It's really disheartening to see that some activist groups are still having mass gatherings in spite of the social distancing protocol. Do they even know the basic science behind social distancing and viruses? Basic biology taught in elementary up to high school teaches that a virus without a host is a dead virus. If the virus is highly contagious then aren't you required to stay away from that person unless you have medical equipment? Isn't a certain distance required for loved ones when they witness the patient getting treated? That's why I do have an air of negativity that certain areas in the Philippines will get out of the crisis as planned. It's because a lot of Filipinos have been accustomed to not following simple guidelines.

Sure, being stuck in our living quarters is already bad enough. Being forced to work at home can also be a burden. Some people may be stuck in places like their dormitories, apartments or condominiums. However, a few days ago, food delivery services like Grab Food and Food Panda have resumed operations for good reasons. Restaurants that are still in operation can still give takeout or delivery. However, one is given the right to go out if one still needs to buy necessities but they should practice proper hygiene. The 24-hour curfew is given for certain situations or certain people such as those who are very susceptible to the spread of COVID-19. However, with an epidemic, staying home as much as possible and moving out only when NECESSARY is what the doctor would order you to do.

Complaining about being required to stay at home during the COVID-19 outbreak? Well, consider the fact that you could be hospitalized. Sure, staying home is boring but the digital age is somewhat there to help if you can afford some of its stuff. You can still freely move at home. What if you get confined in the hospital during COVID-19? There's already a lot of health practitioners that are getting exhausted from work. You can consider that you may be lying down in your bed with dextrose hence limiting mobility. Would you rather be lying down with dextrose or be at home with limited mobility? Would you rather be at home being able to sleep without being disturbed by your doctor? Then stay at home and follow the quarantine rules to avoid getting hospitalized as a result of your irresponsible actions.
