Just as Omicron's first case was discovered on Dec 15, Supertyphoon Odette entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Dec 16! What an unfortunate coincidence! Omicron and Odette entered the Philippines almost at the same time wreaking havoc! However, Odette stole the focus of many and diverted their attention from the Omicron. People were simply eager to get out because many people had already been vaccinated and cases had decreased. Everyone was ecstatic to celebrate Christmas!🌲 They were just too preoccupied about the holiday to become worried and so begun to travel and visit the malls, particularly on Christmas Day. Moreover, as the New Year was approaching, people began again to flock to grocery stores to stock up on foods to be cooked for the celebration. Every day, the line at the cashier was long. As other people's cart were full of grocery items for the party, here I was finding myself panic buying for a month's supply of food!😆 Just heard a rumor that a hard lockdown might be implemented throughout the Metropolitan after the new year and I just need to be prepared in case! There are only two more days before the year ends... Do you have any New Year's resolutions? For me, one of my resolution is to be always prepared. I'd already learned my lesson... and I just don't want surprises anymore! Take care, guys, and remember to stay informed and be ready at all times! Peace and love @Mitochondria #Originalcontentcreator
