Possum Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 The sad thing is it is hard to find travel insurance to cover cancelled flights from the Philippines due to Covid. Apparently the insurance companies figured out the Philippine "government" is bat shit crazy and may impose a restriction on a whim. I have over $8000 invested in plane tickets for next month. We are all fully vaccinated and cleared to go to most any country but one never knows what restrictions will be imposed at that time by the geniuses in IATF. While I understand them being worried about overloading hospitals it would help if they paid the nurses and doctors the extra money they promised them during Covid AND increased their pay These private hospitals make a LOT of money. I follow their earnings because I considered investing in one. They can sure as heck afford to pay more. The public hospitals? That's where you go to die. Grossly underfunded and understaffed. Corruption is rampant. Rant done 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're really jumping the gun here. Level 2 only means a few fewer people in restaurants at the same time, and I bet it won't be enforced. They took down the plastic barriers in the 7/11s around me in the last few days so no one is expecting anything and local governments are now standing up to these resolutions as they can decide what's best for them. This story of a new resolution is nothing major so they won't be canceling flights unless there is a major change in cases which l doubt and would require a new resolution. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Mike J Posted April 23, 2023 Forum Support Posted April 23, 2023 My biggest concern is for the children. The president supposedly has to approve face to face education for K-12 students. The Philippines has the worst test scores in all of Asia and that was prior to covid. One of my nephews is teaching grade six this year. He tells me that it felt like he was teaching at the grade four level but they were "slowly" gaining back lost ground. If they have to go back to remote learning I suspect any gains would be lost and we might end up seeing grade seven students doing grade three work next year. <snip>g. Limited face-to-face or in-person classes for basic education subject to prior approval of the Office of the President;<end snip> 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebie Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Knee jerk reaction to a minor growth in cases , compared to the size of the general population. This , along with "heat" will be another reason to stunt kids education, and allow them to tiktok even longer than they already do. It will also be a newsworthy items across the globe with the rest of the world thinking " why do these guys do such things, isnt anyone thinking there '?? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
