The Lockdown Situation In My Town

We just got back home from my dialysis and again even though I did not eat anything except from some hard candies plus my energy drink my blood pressure didn't even get that low. There wasn't even a sign that my blood pressure passed 120 Systolic so I am just elated about that but of course I did not eat so there wasn't any enjoyable experience there unlike in my past sessions where I was eating.

My mother made me bring a mayonnaise sandwich but I am not in the mood to eat since I do not prefer eating foods at dialysis that I do not like. But nonetheless I am satisfied about my dialysis because I was able to finish it without getting worried that I will get another blood pressure crash.

Now for the second time I realized that eating at dialysis sessions crashes the dialysis patient's BP which sucks because only at dialysis I can enjoy eating normally. But again I will just take the opportunity to eat at my session if given my favorite food would be available.

Anyway as we went home all of the stores that I saw are closed, even the ones that have a drive-through went on to close as well so there are no stores to buy food plus the supplies are really low right now. The bakery also doesn't produce as much bread because the suppliers also are not supplying the flour that they need as well as the other ingredients to make bread.

All in all it is hard not only for me but also for a lot of people especially those that are poorer than me and I won't be so surprised when criminality and chaos ensues if the lockdown gets prolonged. I just hope that we will see another normal way of life soon because I fear for my loved one's safety more than myself.

Supermarkets are open but only until 5-8 PM but they are either in the city or town while the small stores are only open until 12:00 PM. Everywhere there is a long queue plus you only have a schedule when you are allowed to buy. It is all hard @robertandrew

Are you in the city or the province areas? My extended family are in the latter and until very recently it's been open and biz as usual.

That has stopped now. It seems to be not a national lockdown over there from what I can gather?

The lockdown is just in the main island of Luzon @slobberchops and I think some cities down south Philippines there are quarantine areas as well. I live in Calumpit town but our province has an adjacent city, the center of the province and we pass through there when go for my dialysis which is in another town..

Ah, north of Manila then. I flew over your town when visiting Baguio in a plane I thought might crash, it was swaying around so much. Those turbo-prop things.
