Replace IATF officials with medical experts

The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF), like President Duterte, has zero credibility.

The IATF should be abolished, or its officials replaced by medical doctors, microbiologists, social scientists, or other experts from related disciplines.
