Officially we are in panic mode today. My brother panic because of the news of the enhance community quarantine in the whole Luzon region or possible lockdown here in our place. People here in my place all rush this evening to the supermarket a few walks away from our house.
We also have panic buying of vitamins like Vitamin C and zinc and other vitamins. So we have so many supplies enough for a week or two. I worry about my two siblings who are at work if they can come back home this weekend

@averygirl72 I think some people panic and they go to buy a lot of food and toilet paper

We also went out this morning to buy some stuff in the market. But most of all, we bought lots of fish, not really for us but for our cats. They can't eat without viand, unlike us, we can eat rice with soy sauce or fish sauce... Hmmm Don't panic.. We will not go hungry...

Really just soy sauce and fish sauce. We can't live that way. We always want a delicious viand

@averygirl72 times like this we need to adjust... anyway, we can eat everything we like again once this is over.
And they said it's the job of the LGUs to bring us food.. hmmm let's wait..
And one more, one household member can still go out to buy basic needs of the family.. so no worries...

So true, hard to even get a ride earlier due to social distancing. I just wish that your two siblings will be able to come home.

Yes social distancing makes it harder to get a ride. Hope they are safe in the places they stay in the city

@averygirl72 My sister had to walk from Pasig all the way to Manila last night because all of the jeepneys and puvs implemented that social distancing and when she gets home, I can see how tired she was that she almost emptied a liter of water...but good thing she's safe

We buy a lot of essentials so we don't have to leave the house often
