China Corona Virus Outbreak

New normal (hopefully) for buses. Its from Ceres bus in Bacolod. Kakagatin kaya ito ng mga bus operators? Its seems a considerable investment to change to this for a lesser capacity and who knows how long it will only be used. Pero mas ok na to kaysa walang kita.

Ok na rin ito. Better than nothing. Huwag ka lang makasabay ng mga walanghiya na hinde marunong magsuot ng maayos na mask

Passenger planes have HEPA filters. Air inside is circulated from top to bottom, not front to back. Fresh air is introduced to the cabin every 3min.

hepa is good only for as small as aerosol.
for true airbornes, hepa is not that effective.

But HEPA filters are at par or offers better filtration than N95 masks. And for airplanes, since the circulation of air is from top to bottom, viruses won't stay airborne.

Mas maganda pa nga daw filtration ng plane kesa sa operating theater.

I believe so. If not, dami sigurado magkakasakit after landing, especially in long haul flights.

What we need to be careful of are the high touch surfaces light toilet doors and overhead compartments. So just be aware to sanitize after touching those.

Mahirap pa rin boybi mag travel if that will be the new normal. Kung nun walang covid-19 nakakapagod na long haul mas lalo na ngayon.

Ang hassle is the quarantine requirements. But air travel itself hindi naman sobra hassle.

Also, if you can, mag business class ka. Mas konti passengers sa cabin, and around 30 passengers lang sharing 2-3 toilets. Versus sa economy, 200-300 passengers sharing 5-6 toilets.

Hindi ko talaga gusto hangin sa eroplano, hindi naman sensitive ilong at baga ko, pero pag nasa plane ako nauubo ako, itchy and dry throat Baka maquarantine pa ko

Sobrang sirang sira timeline ko, I was supposed to visit my office BFF in HQ tapos yung new role sa work na may assignment sa Japan which I rejected kasi nga travel ban sa company namin. Maganda sana experience mag work aa Japan even for a few months

Problema ko pa need ko bumalik sa US

Wala pa ba leaked kung ano recommendation ng IATF after June 15? Wala na ako nababasa sa mga viber group. Mukhang nagsawa na mga tao.

GCQ pa rin daw malamang.

that may be true.
but it is still imperfect.
especially if we have to deal with airborne virus particles and not aerosol-borne virus particles.

sa eroplano, pag sara ng pinto, sarado all the way.

sa OR naman kasi,
may mga labas-pasok habang nag-o-opera.
not to mention, the aerosol generated by the operating team.

Because the air inside a plane is very dry. You need to drink lots of water while flying.

Still a lot better than inside groceries, offices and malls.

Di ba when you go to older malls, may amoy na yung aircon nila.

Sa airplane, even if the aircraft is more than 20yrs already, hindi pa din mabaho ang hangin sa loob. It’s because of the very strict maintenance requirements of airplanes.

Oh. I avoid drinking kasi when I travel, so I don't have to use the washroom

As long as everyone wears their masks properly, the risk of infection is greatly reduced.

Since we should be reserving N95 for frontliners, sana lahat ng nakasakay at least naka surgical mask. The cloth masks are not effective.

Surgical.masks can be made to fit better:

That's a big no-no for flying. Besides, going to the toilet gives you reason to stretch and move your body especially on a longhaul flights. Kahit hindi ako pupunta sa toilet, I walk around the plane once in a while.

put it this way.
if i can accomplish what i have to accomplish without having to fly pressurized cabin,
i'd do it without flying pressurized cabin.
not in these pandemic days and no vaccine available.

staying in the passenger seat (preferably beside the window) for one to two hours...
i can do that.
i don't think i'd be candidate for leg vein thrombosis.
that is, if i had to fly.

lalabas pa rin ang hangin sa open spaces above, between the nose and the cheeks.
one has to be Ob-C in manipulating the metal nose piece to close that gap.
