[THREAD] The unclear, incoherent announcement and poor implementation of Duterte's "community quarantine"/ #lockdown raises serious questions that will affect millions of Filipinos.
We will do our best to list/collate the most important ones here. #COVID19 #COVID19ph (Continued)

1.) Why have 48 hours between the announcement and start of Duterte's #lockdown when a mass exodus only risks spreading #COVID19ph nationwide?
Along with the Chinese gov't attempted cover-up, this is exactly how the virus spread so fast out of Wuhan.

2.) If thousands/millions of workers living outside Metro Manila are allowed to enter and leave daily for work, what's the point of even having a #COVID19ph "community quarantine" / #lockdown?
Compare to Italy, who shut down movement and suspended bills.

3.) DOTr is implementing "5 pax per coach" for MRT-3. Since millions of Filipinos still need to work, stations are now more plugged up than usual.
Imbes na sa tren, sa stations nalang ba tayo magkakahawaan? Is it time for another Panelo #CommuteChallenge?

4.) Instead of continuing with knee-jerk reactions and poor policy decisions, why not cement the role of actual health experts (instead of the military) in solving the #COVID19ph crisis?
Why not adopt best practices that actually work, like South Korea's?

5.) Why is the actual f**k is Duterte's DOH *CROWDSOURCING* for #COVID19ph solutions? Wala ba talagang plano at all?
Isn't it literally their job as the DEPARTMENT of HEALTH to bring solutions to us, the Filipino public? #COVID19 #lockdown

6.) As per #COVID19ph #lockdown, students will continue their education while LGUs have been ordered to keep them at home.
What about students who don't have internet access at home? Will they have to risk crowded internet cafes, or are they doomed to fail their studies?

7.) With transport under #COVID19ph #lockdown, what about patients from outside NCR relying on chemo and other lifesaving treatments in Metro Manila?
Will DOH take measures to ensure their continued access to treatment, or is it "guess I'll die" for them?

8.) Why is Duterte still asking for donations when his government keeps sending face masks and other emergency kits to China, while Filipinos are suffering from shortage of essential supplies?
