PDI EDITORIAL- Playing catch-up
.
In a departure from his previous two addresses to the nation on the COVID-19 crisis, a calm and steady President Duterte appeared on TV Tuesday night and sought to reassure Filipinos increasingly anxious about the government’s plan to contain the coronavirus threat: “Huwag kayong matakot (fear not),” he said. “Your entire government is working hand-in-hand to safeguard your health, safety and well-being.”

Additional powers are needed by President Duterte for speedier response to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. This was the principal explanation of the administration in seeking special or “standby” powers for the President to enhance responses to the COVID-19 contagion.

With the global uncertainty over the COVID-19 pandemic, people are generally willing to go along even with drastic measures to stop the contagion. The President asked for additional tools to deal with the crisis, and Congress granted them. Ultimately, the test of the additional powers will be in the way they are wielded. Dramatic measures are expected to yield dramatic results.

The Straits Times says
Crises are best fought in good times.
As the Covid-19 pandemic grows, comparisons are being made and lessons offered from the past such as the 1918 Spanish flu and the 14th-century bubonic plague that left millions dead in Europe. Taking a step back, there’s another lesson to be drawn from an even older source – the Old Testament account of Egypt’s ruler being advised by his vizier Joseph to prepare ahead for seven years of famine during seven years of good harvests.

EDITORIAL- BANGKOK POST:
All must help each other
.
The coronavirus outbreak has shown us many things, above all how connected we are.
Social distancing is the norm to slow down the spread. But that does not mean we can’t be there in spirit for people in need and those who are vulnerable to catching the disease.
The Covid-19 outbreak is pervasive, reaching far and wide as it is carried from one patient or carrier to many others who come into close contact with them. Decisive and comprehensive action from the government will help curb the spread.
Eventually, however, it’s community spirit, the very connectedness if not physically then emotionally that human beings have towards one another, that will help us survive this together.
