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.

Ah. Duterte. At one time, he was all up in arms against China if I recall correctly. And then I guess China threw some money down his throat so he became their puppy. His attitude changed drastically.
Someone praised China's handling (which includes locking people in their homes to die if not of the virus then of hunger.) Anyways.
