Prevention methods continue in the Philippines

Fifth day of the quarantine in Tanjay, Philippines but from our window, you would not know it.   Many young people continue to go up and down the street on motor scooters.   Since more businesses are closed, we wonder where they are going.   People should not even be going to others' homes but many people are in the streets walking also.   I think the little sidewalk grocery-type stores are open for cold drinks, instant noodles, chips and snacks.  Most are wearing masks but no one is particularly worried about the coronavirus.    We were told they are cracking down on people who should not be out, especially at the markets since one per household is supposed to have a slip to show permission to shop.   The police never restrict anything here so people are not afraid of the police.    Last night, we had gone to bed when I heard a loud noise outside.   I came to the window of our balcony and watched a huge truck going slowly up the street. Walking slowly behind the truck were three or four guys in orange suits, boots and gloves with hoses from the truck spraying everything along the street.  The strong hoses were spraying the fences, gates, sidewalks and streets and everything was as wet as if it had rained.    I thought it might be mosquito repellant but that is usually a fog and not a wet solution.   Ronald told me this morning they have been doing this due to the coronavirus for about a week but mostly in the areas of the markets and places where many people would gather.   Now they are going down residential streets.    I think they are doing all they can to stop it here in the Philippines and for that we are grateful.  

Continue to take care of yourselves in the U.S. so we can see an end to this horrible disease.  God bless you all.
