PNB and PAL visit

[scott h]

Took my wife out for her first foray into post covid Manila. She wanted to do some banking.

PNB- I have been to our bank before while under enhanced quarantine, not that we are under General the requirements are even more strict.  First hand washing station, then a foot bath, then a temp check then she had to fill out a contact tracing form in case a customer or employee tests positive in the near future. Other than that (oh and naturally a face mask) business as normal.

PAL- Our bank branch shares the building with the main Manila office of PAL. While waiting I just went in and asked some questions. The young lady there (I was the only customer) Informed me that flights to Los Angeles USA will resume starting 15 June. There will be five flights a week as is stands now. She also said that they are filling up fast.

Naturally everything is subject to change, just thought I would pass it on

I ran across this for the first time at our local HMR.  I was next door and then I wanted to pop in and quickly see if they have a rolling pin.  He told me to fill in the log which had maybe 6-7 items including address and phone.  I told the guard that if everybody is touching the pen, table and log, I am more likely to catch COVID right there than in the store.  I left and didn't go in.

I see on YouTube in Thailand you have the option of logging your name or using an app that you scan a code everywhere you go so they can trace you if needed. I think the record of where your been only stays in the system for a certain time. Weren't they talking of using it here too not long back?

I think it’s a great idea, but I also think it would only work if the telecom companies got on board and provided free data for when you’re using the app (similar to how they offer it for WasteBook).
