Oh, and by the way, watch the news: Duterte's announcement about the lockdown starting on Sunday 15 has just triggered a significant exodus of people from Metro Manila towards the surrounding provinces. NAIA Terminal 3 (the domestic flights terminal of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport) looked rightly packed, and there are crowds of people at bus stations waiting to get out. So much for virus containment.
This is a major problem for a lot of medical professionals. Many of us like me live in MM and also work in the outlying provinces. If the lockdown have limited exceptions a lot of medical facilities outside MM will end up understaffed.
