'Powerful hashtags like MassTestingNowPH, NoToVIPTesting and ProtectFrontliners captured the demands of a disgruntled public, resulting in changes in the way government has responded to Covid-19.' Opinion COVID19PH

Stay home. Be quiet. We’re on it. Just wait. Help will come. Trust us. Do as you’re told or else.

“We are prepared to handle this public health emergency in case the worst scenario happens,” Duterte told media on February 10, threatening to slap the virus and calling it “It was obvious that the threat of a local outbreak was being belittled by no less than the President. At one point, he even ridiculed the safety protocols issued by the Department of Health , insisting on shaking hands and holding public meetings.

The many issues and concerns raised by government critics forced the public to take a hard look at government’s response to the health crisis. It forced a healthy debate that extended into the corridors of power. But all we got were more assurances that everything was being addressed.The March 12 announcement of a lockdown confirmed our worst fears about government’s unpreparedness and lack of a comprehensive plan to address COVID-19.

By this time, the number of confirmed and suspected COVID-19 cases was rising steeply by the day. Hospitals were reaching full capacity. Apparently the low number of confirmed cases in the country was due to the low number of tests being done and the negligible effort at tracing possible COVID-19 carriers. As a result, the DOH could not determine the actual extent of community infection. And even if it did, there were no quarantine centers to accommodate suspected carriers of the virus.

Can you guys remove the [OPINION] tag on your every editorial headline title. And instead specify it as an opinion piece inside the article's webpage. So it won't be reduced by the shallow minded user's as like 'Opinion nyo lang yan' and could lead to more engagement / convs
