I thought it
was prudent and I think PRRD made the right decision to extend the ECQ (Enhance
Community Quarantine) until April 30, 2020. It is because what you really want
to do is you really want to start seeing some flattening out and turning around
the curve and then it’s coming down. It wasn’t doing that yet.
So, it would
not have been a good idea to pull back at a time when you really needed to be
pressing your foot on the pedal as opposed to applying the brakes. So, if we
prematurely pull back, we would only form acceleration or rebound or something
which would have put you behind where we were before.
So, we must not
pull back what we were doing but instead extend them. Otherwise, there would be
more avoidable suffering and avoidable deaths, and surely a wrong decision from
the public health standpoint.
