A lot of people complain why there are so many people out there where they should be in their homes. They all say that they are stubborn. The reason they are there is because their daily life is there, they need to "drive the tricycle" etc just to make money for them to support their daily needs. If they are not doing their job where can they find the money to buy some food that they will eat? In fact they will not die from the virus but they will die from starvation. I've noticed that most people who said that most people out there are stubborn are either rich or have little power and their reason why they said that people out there are stubborn is because they do not follow the rules that they must be in their home to prevent the virus from spreading. Know what, you should go to the barangay officials to complain why they are still there because if their barangay officials give them some food I'm sure they are not there(outside). You need to understand all their situations and they are also doing their part to make a living. They are also afraid of being infected but they are also afraid of starvation. My friend's grandfather said "I would prefer to be infected as long as I can make money and support my family's daily needs" his daugher reply "but if you will be infected, there's a possibility that we will be also infected because we are living in one house" and his grandfather responded with tears "if that happens, burn me so that you will not be infected. I am not afraid to die. My job is to support your daily needs". That's why I'm writing this post, as I listen to their conversation I realize and understand why they're still out there. They know the rules. Poverty drives them to do the job even though they know they can be infected by covid 19 at any time.
