Day 1 Community Quarantine

March 15

The capital region of the Philippines was put into community quarantine today. It is not a total a"lockdown" which is like that of Hubei province in China and the whole country of Italy. 

Napansin niyo ba mas magastos at madaling maubos pagkain sa bahay kapag 'nakabakasyon'? Feeling ko tuloy yung pang two weeks na food supply namin pang one week na lang.

I went out briefly to buy some fresh produce. It' s a Sunday kaya siguro kapansin pansin na halos walang tao nung lumabas ako, around 3-4 pm. We are lucky that the wet market, mini groceries and supermarkets are just five minutes away from where we live. I bought bangus, gagawin kong daing para mas matagal ang 'shelf life'. Sa grocery, I bought spaghetti sauce and Zonrox bleach. 

I dropped by at Mercury for my husband's maintenance meds pero wala pa ring stock. I noticed that they don't have alcohol/disinfectant at the entrance, unlike sa ibang stores. No thermal scanner either. Ironic because it is teeming with people most of the time. Afterwards, I bought Halo Halo at the adjacent Chowking branch and Chicken Nuggets, McChicken at McDonald's. Good thing, these fastfood chains are practicing social distancing and provide alcohol and disinfectant for their customers. Sorry, I didn't bring my phone kaya walang pics for proof. 

When I got home, I immediately took a bath so that whatever germs I caught, I hope natanggal lahat. Better be safe and clean than sorry.
