The Trillanes-COVID-19 Outbreak Needs To Be Curbed ASAP

I remembered the joke I wrote where I imagined the virus called Noynoy-COVID-19. It looks like the Noynoy-COVID-19 virus isn't the only thing additional virus strain that Filipinos need to worry about. Now, we've got another "confirmed" outbreak called the Trillanes-COVID-19 outbreak. Although there haven't been reports of Trillanes getting the flu or what (and Noynoy most likely didn't get COVID-19) - I'd like to joke that he did. Now, be ready for the newest virus strain and how you can identify people sick with the Trillanes-COVID-19. Maybe, he did capture strains during his backdoor dealings from China. Who knows he may have gone to Wuhan last 2019 and his blood sample mixed with the COVID-19. Maybe, he did get flu after all and never told anyone. But it's just a speculation for this joke.

Let's face it that Trillanes isn't doing much to help the COVID-19 epidemic operations. He's not forced to donate. If he wants to donate money to Vice President Leni Loud Robredo's Angat Buhay operations then that's his choice. However, I do feel his comment about the budget was unneeded unless if he can propose a lower but more effective budget.

Now, it's time to consider this chart from Thinking Pinoy (who I heard is against constitutional reform) yet again. We can consider how the three last categories PPK, PAU, and PPR may not be enough to fit the classifications of Trillanes Coronavirus Disease 2019 or Trillanes-COVID-19 for short. Symptoms were worsening last 2019 with him still spreading gossiping. The last monitoring of the virus was at the University of the Philippines-Diliman Campus.

What symptoms does Trillanes-COVID-19 have in common with Noynoy-COVID-19? One of them would that they would have an irrational fear of law enforcement. It would make you wonder would they rather trust the criminals than the cops? PPKs are people who refrain from practicing social distancing. An additional symptom that TCOVID-19 has for PPKs is that they don't only refuse to do social distancing - they also love to spread gossip like Trillanes does. The TCOVID-19 variation of the PAU (people who don't want to follow simple guidelines) would also involve people questioning the validity of the enhanced community quarantine. The TCOVID-19 variation of PPR would include not just complaining but also seeking attention through it. These kinds of people are very disruptive to relief work. They would probably stress out health workers out there who are just doing their jobs. It wouldn't just be the spread of the disease that will be the problem. It will also be developing all sorts of panic attacks because people with TCOVID-19 love to spread fake news just to see people panic or get attention.

At this point, the government needs to stop the two new strains called Noynoy-COVID-19, 4Ps-COVID-19, and the Trillanes-COVID-19. If the government fails then expect the lockdowns to really get worse. Countermeasures against both new variants of the COVID-19 virus should involve strict implementation against causing panic attacks, making violators do unpaid community services, and removing 4Ps beneficiaries caught gambling and drinking out of the program for good. The DSWD should only give dole-outs to people who really need the money and use the cash to buy their goods instead.
