Airline passengers also required to wear face shields

Philippines Government takes stupidity to the next level

 

 

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) announced all airline passengers are also required to wear face shields during their travel starting August 15 following the orders of the Department of Transportation (DOTr).

 

DOTr all who would be riding public transport are mandated to wear face shields after the government placed Metro Manila and nearby provinces under modified enhanced community quarantine.

Yes keeping their citizens safe is soooo stupid! 

 

They should follow the lead   of the US with over 150.000 dead and probably double that by December...

Has it been proven ineffective?  If not then certainly not stupid to try and protect people.

Yes the Government in Philippines is quite effective

 

That is why they are 3rd World Country, with corruption at the center of the government for decades.

 

That is why you see a record high number of children born out of wedlock, and that is why you see so many people on the street begging or street children.  That is why you see young girls come for the province to work as sex workers in places like Manila and Cebu.

 

The government is so effective you can look on this forum and see how many people are trying to escape the Philippines.

 

Yep they are so effective. Their past history proves otherwise

Yep, Changing all the times there.  No one really knows even the people living there due to all the changes all the time.  It's the Land of Confusion

The mask requirement is not for the entire length of travel. It is only for during your transition to and from the aircraft, not for the entire time.

But face masks are now being required in Manila and on all public transportation.

I think when this is all said and done and everyone has time to reflect, the US and the Philippines will turn out to be two of the countries who handled this pandemic the worst, just at opposite extremes of the spectrum.  There is no doubt that we have become victims in this ineptitude with both governments mis-managing this. 

 

Sometimes you can try and protect people but create more risk to them.  For example, the shield that some local governments in the Philippines wants to protect the driver of a motorbike and the passenger has been proven by Filipino engineers to be more dangerous than if there was no shield.  The shield will create a drag from the wind allowing the motorbike to become unstable.  Also, the passengers hands are used for holding the shield and not holding onto the bike or driver.  Plus, the only two people who are allowed to ride on a motorbike are from the same household, defeating the whole purpose of the shield. 

 

There are decisions being made in the Philippines where people just shake their heads in disbelief, but on the other side, there are decisions being made in the US where your jaw just drops to the floor.

Not to mention that the shields create wind vortexes in front of the passenger.  Making them more susceptible to what ever the driver may have.

Exactly.  That was brought in the article as well.  Similar to blowing the virus all over the face of the person behind you.   But many areas are still proceeding with this, I think on August 15th it starts.
