Three Things to be Safe From Covid: Tatlo Lang

Just a reminder, we're under GCQ but but the word "Quarantine" is still there. The virus is still around. And the number of cases are climbing up daily. Hindi sya nababawasan. Thank God madami  din gumagaling pero meron pa ring mga namamatay. This should keep us on our guard and double up our precautions. [Image above by Kokoshungsan.net from Pixabay].

When you go out, the crowd of people and traffic is back to normal. Physical distancing is observed in malls, banks and other establishments, but outside it's near chaos. Madalas kumpulan ang mga tao. I heard that distancing inside MRT trains are good. Pero syempre, dahil mahirap control talaga ang mga tao, we often see them clumped together in crowds and defying distancing.

Kaya ang nakita ko, ito. You can be safe outdoors if you just have these three:

1. Face mask

2. Face shield

3. Small spray bottle of alcohol.

Then you combine that with social distancing and less talking with people. As much as possible, iwasan makipag-usap, lalo na ng malapitan. And minimize your travel and the length of time you stay outdoors. Kung ano lang ang pakay mo sa labas, yun lang. Stay ka lang doon. Wag na mamasyal o magliwaliw. 

And as soon as you reach home, wash hands, soak your used clothes immediately in water and laundry soap, tapos maligo agad. And don't forget to disinfect your slippers or shoes na ginamit mo, lalo na yung swelas. Sprayan mo ng tubig na me cholorox. 

And take Vitamin C daily. Eat healthy food. Live a healthy lifestyle. Wala munang yosi 😊. Peace sa mga nagyoyosi, hehe. Para din sa inyo to. We don't want you to get sick. It's common knowledge how smoking can weaken our immune system and make us susceptible to illness--e lalo na Covid 19. Mabagsik. Kaya ingat muna.

And I highly recommend walking. Yung bayaw ko nilalakad nya everyday from SNR to Road 20. Everyday yan. Tapos minsan he walks from our place to Road 20 early in the morning to go to work. Mas safe kasi from Covid. You're just by yourself. Just don't go walking along dark or remote roads. Dun ka din sa ma-tao but keep a safe distance from them always.

And it's more fun to walk. You get the exercise and enjoy the sights. Just bring extra clothes gaya ni bayaw. He has several sets of clothes in his bag because he is sure to sweat it out when walking long distances like that. Para iwas pulmunya din. As soon as you reach your destination, change clothes and wipe off your sweat lalo na sa iyong likod.

Tapos polbo-polbo din mga ka-ocho para di tayo mangamoy. Or use body spray. Kakahiya kasi ke boss.

Lastly, observe these rules in the streets, more so in crowded places:

1. Don't spit anywhere. Lulukin mo muna, bro.
2. Don't take your favorite drink (like milk tea) in public, tapos naka expose pa yung straw. Bad for the health.
3. Don't put your mask on your chin. Andami kong nakikita, yung baba nila mina-mask. Hindi po nakakapasok ang Covid sa baba. Sa ilong pwede pa.
4. Don't touch your face, no matter what. Magka-matayan na, basta wag nyo hahawakan (o papahawak) mukha nyo.
5. PRAY. Always ask God for protection. Last but not least yan.

OK mga ka-ocho?
