while i agonize over my own post that’s taking me forever to wrap up, perhaps because as a senior citizen i’m feeling rather pikon–as if aging weren’t challenging enough health-wise, dumagdag pa ang coronavirus–here’s my cousin karen on pandemic-mode in facebook. take care, you all.
KAREN BERTHELSEN CARDENAS. Finally, a pandemic has been declared. So people, let’s get serious now if you have been the lackdaisical it’s just a sipon for the past month. We now have the first local Pinoy death. The Philippine hospitals cannot handle widespread sickness and be overwhelmed by confinement. Italy has been having to make Sophie’s choices. Who can we accommodate, who will be sent home to die? Of course the rich will have the advantage in the Philippines. Which means that if you imagine someone in Payatas catching it, you have a disaster in the making.
Wash your hands. Stay home. Boost your immune system.
Pray if it helps you. But don’t leave it to heaven.
