LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Do our part in fighting COVID-19

Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:01 AM April 15, 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic is not a joke. It does not discriminate against age, sex, race, or status. Victims die alone, with no family and friends by their side until they are laid to rest.

The fatalities have included medical frontliners who are putting their lives at stake. Some doctors got infected because patients did not disclose their travel history or their coronavirus symptoms for fear of being isolated or stigmatized. This is truly an irresponsible act. If people continue to commit such things, not only doctors will die, but all of us.

If we want to resume our normal lives and return to work or school, let us cooperate and do our part. Let us be responsible citizens and cooperate with the government. This is everyone’s fight. Stay home, save lives.
