People are getting arrested for standing outside their houses. Crazy facist states, show their true colours now. For me that is insanity, how they dare to tell people to not go outside at all. I would revolt. In another topic you talk about coming to the Philippines and sleeping in nature etc - If I were you I'd reconsider the wisdom of that based on your comments above. One of the key skills needed to get by here is to accept things you may not agree with or like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be truly accepted by the locals try drinking "barkada" style using the empty jelly jar as a glass and passing it from person to person. Best done without a face mask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best done without a face mask. I've done the shared glass thing a few times with extended family over at Ozamiz but that was in the early days, they keep a good glass for me for when we visit now. And don't forget the tubes of ice sitting in a bowl that everyone picks up broken bits of with their hands for the glass :) wouldn't be surprised if lots of locals still do the shared glass thing even with Covid, I wonder if that's one of the reasons for the alcohol restrictions? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas cases in all the other Scandinavian countries have decreased a lot!

I totally get their point but still feel instinctively they chose the wrong strategy. The timelines of when an outbreak starts and peaks are important to analyze. The U.S. is a big place with widely separated areas, in many cases. So you see the start and peak at much different times. Sweden was on the uphill slope when thread this started. Here is the latest.

Hmm.... Interesting. But I think the jury's still out on this one, just as it is on almost everything else to do with Covid-19. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
