We're out of the Enhanced Community Quarantine

Today is the fifth day of being out of the ECQ and we're now on GCQ (General Community Quarantine). But still, it seems like nothing has changed, at least for me.

I still can't go to work since public transportation is in full force; I guess just 30% at the most. Work force is probably back at 70%. Not everybody has a personal vehicle for a commute to work. You can just imagine the imbalance there. The rush of public commuters will violate social or physical distancing. And I'm not taking any risks.

So now, I'm still working from home. However, this working from home is testing my patience. It's not really very comfortable to be sitting on a plastic chair for hours. The heat is just unbearable because there's no air conditioning.. The noise outside the house seems unending. Believe me, not everyone is staying at home.

I wonder when all of this will be over. It's not going to be the same, that's for sure unless a cure is found. Until then, everything will be different.
