COVID-19 AND ISOLATION

The existence of the covid affected my life a lot. It changes my everyday routine and makes me more conscious of my health status. I so much feel the loneliness because of isolation of people. During the peak of pandemic, most of my friends in the city transferred to the provinces because it affected their source of income. 

PROTECTING OURSELVES BY ISOLATION

My partner feels isolated during the pandemic and leads her to make a wall toward strangers. During that time, the Taiwan government is collecting information from the citizens to be used for tracking. She knows that her privacy will be at risk, but she trusts the government and believes in science.

PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT COVID RESPONSE

The transfer of my friends to the countryside impacted my mental health so much and made me focus my time more on other things like exercise, workout, and planting.

I also appreciate the government's effort in my country to control the covid and provide financial assistance to the citizen but in some cases I witness that they fail in some point where there are months where the covid cases was so high because on that month they remove some of the restriction in public places and travel regulations just to earn money and save the economy of our country. Testing kits are also limited, and pricy, personal tracking technology is not enough and not so advanced compared to other countries.
