ME AND MY WIFE  TRAVELS FROM PLACE TO PLACE, I AM THE DRIVER ON OUR TRIPS BECAUSE MY WIFE RHEZA DONT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE, AND WE TRAVEL AS FAR AS 500KM, 200KM, 60KM . WE ONLY STOP ON THE ROAD WHERE WE ARE COMFORTABLE AND DO THE COOKING FOR OUR FOOD. DURING THE NIGHT WE COULD NOT STAY ON A HOTEL BECAUSE ADFRAID OF COVID 19 WHICH IS SPREADING ANYWHERE, EVEN THOUGH THE HOTEL TELL US THAT THEY DISENFECT, STILL WE LOOK FOR GASOLINE STATIONS TO PARK AND SLEEP THE WHOLE NIGHT, ON OUR BUSINESS, WE INCOUNTERED MANY PEOPLE FRIENDS, RELATIVES, AND OTHERS IN WHICH WE CAN SHARE OUR SMALL BUSINESS IN ORDER TO SURVIVE THE PANDEMICS. BUT ONE DAY BIG STRANGE SHADOW CAME UPON US. WHEN WE RETURN HOME FROM ONE WEEK TRAVEL AROUND THE CONTINENT OF MINDANAO JUST TO LOOK FOR FOODS FOR OUR CHILDREN, ON THAT NIGHT WHEN WE SLEEP MY WIFE BEGIN COUGPHING EVERY MINUTE  FOR THE WHOLE NIGHT, AND ME ALSO STARTED TO NOT FEELING BETTER, SO I CALLED UP A FRIEND TO PICK US UP AND BROUGHT US TO THE HOSPITAL NEAR US. WHEN WE REACHED THE HOSPITAL, MY WIFE IS ASKING FOR OXYGEN, BECAUSE SHE CONNOT BREATH ALREADY , SO THE NURSES RUSHED TO HER AND INSTALL THE APPARARTUS, ME I STARTED COUGPHING, SO THEY MAKE SOME COVID TEST AND THE RESULT POSITIVE OF COVID 19, WE BOTH HIT BY A COVID 19 SO WE WERE TREATED IN THE HOSPITAL WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF OUR GOVERNMENT. AND WE WRE QUARINTINE FOR 28 DAYS WITHOU SEEING OUR FAMILY, FRIEND AS IF WE WRE IN PRISON. WE COULD'NT EVEN SEE OUR CHILDREN,.
