China coronavirus spread is accelerating, Xi Jinping warns.

Thanks Jim, good job I have a big house, I can go to the 3rd floor roof top and chill out or have a hour in bed in the afternoon, and in the morning stroll about the compound drinking coffee.

How are you feeling now Jim?

Yes of course, but guns are here to stay unfortunately. Most expats know it's better to "turn the other cheek" Filipinos hate to lose face.

Much better now Mike, thanks.

Understand Jim.
I know this from my wife
I suppose a drunken expat with a bad attitude in the Philippines leaves himself open to a big problem.

My kids uncle,very well known in Davao because of his job,friend of Duterte from when Duterte was mayor,was ambushed,shot a number of times,nice collection of scars,and he also has a large firearm collection.I asked him what happened to the guy who shot him...……….filipinos don't like to lose face.

Disappeared?

my wife's aunt was a barangay captain--till she was shot dead late last year.

Philippine politics at what ever level is a good was of making money, that attracts jealousy, that attracts bullets.

Lolas closed the beach down, its surrounded by a fence and all the family have houses within it, plus there's guards at the main gate and a good number of workers, but it's as locked down as it can be, a friend who lives on siquijor however has neighbours and kids in and out of his house all day long even at this current time.

Er indoors is in constant contact with health care workers all over the world. Anyway she told me the DOH in the Philippines is offering 500 peso a day for nurses to help in the battle against covid-19 100,000 peso insurance if the nurses get sick and a million peso to their families if they die

is that considered a good wage over there ?

I don't think a million peso is worth burying one of your relatives, small wonder the vast majority of health care graduates in the PI studied their course with the dream of one day getting out of the country.

Minimum wage in manila last year was 500 peso a day, but it's not always adhered to.
