It's apparent that with more and more testing,the hotspots will be identified, and decisions will have tobe made whether or not to continue the ECQ in the mostdangerous areas. Metro Manila seems to have plateaued, but as I alwaysremind everyone, we should not relax. The virus is stillout there, so we should continue practicing the protocolswe've gotten used to these past 49 days. More than ever.But it's time to think about what to expect in the GCQ....I suggest that we closely monitor Tacloban and the othercities now under GCQ, along with provinces like Albay~so far there have been no over-the-top reports of unrulygatherings, the LGUs seem to be in full control, and thecitizens -- most of them -- are still behaving as if they'restill under ECQ. Which is exactly how things should be.I pray there will be no crazy stampede to the partiallyopened malls in Metro Manila next Saturday. Let'scross our fingers --- I don't buy that crap that there willbe a "second wave" because we are still in the middleof the first wave!!! Let's control this, and perhaps,like New Zealand, Taiwan, and Vietnam - we can reallyend the threat in the next couple of months, and havea fighting chance to return to our usual boring normal.Speaking of which, the term "new normal" rankles meas much as "netizen" does. We're in a New Abnormal,and I refuse to concede that this is how we will live ourlives for the foreseeable future. I'm forever the optimistafter all, and I will --- for the sake of all the children whodeserve to live a life unencumbered by masks --- hopeand pray, and believe, that someday soon, science willsucceed in eradicating this virus. And we'll return to oureveryday routines of work and school and yes, I'm evenlooking forward to being stuck in rush hour traffic again!
