Alam mo yung mahirap kapag yung BATA🧒👶 nahawahan ng Covid-19? — Mother shares worst fears if her child gets the virus

“Alam mo yung mahirap kapag yung BATA nahawahan ng Covid-19?” This is the chilling question, albeit hypothetical posed by a mother whose child was infected by the virus in a Facebook post.

A netizen named Ma. Lourdes Kalalo took to Facebook and started a discussion how mothers’ can bear the thought of getting separated by one’s child for weeks because of covid-19.

Kalalo remarked that an covid-19 infected child is treated just like adults and worse, no members of the family are allowed to accompany the child. “Madadala sya sa ospital ng walang pamilyang kasama dahil bawal, tulad rin sa mga matatandang infected.

Kalalo asked for how many weeks? Can the mother take it knowing that the sick child is separated from her? Not knowing the child gets the same tender loving care only a mother can give?

Ilang linggo yon? Gaano makakayanan ng ina na mawalay sa anak lalo na kung may sakit? Na hindi mo alam kung may mag aalaga tulad ng pag aalaga mo. Paano magpapalakas ang bata kung di nito nakikita ang ina o magulang lalo na kung musmos pa lang?”

Kalalo lamented that no one will patiently watch or care for the child on days she is sick aside from the medicines the doctors and nurses will give.

“Walang mag tatyagang magbantay o kakalinga sa mga araw na may masakit sa kanila maliban sa medical na ibibigay ng mga doctor at nurses.”

Kalalo said it would have been okay if everyone have the means to hire a private nurse to take care of the sick child in the mother’s behalf. “Di bale sana kung lahat tayo kayang kumuha ng pribadong nurse para magbantay para sa atin.”

Kalalo urged Filipinos to imagine a scenario wherein they infect other people because of their hard-headedness. “Imaginin nyo yon kung makahawa ka sa katigasan ng ulo nyo.”

Kalalo ended the FB post with a brief sermon to people who are not taking the threat of covid-19 very seriously and preached about self-discipline to punctuate her post.

“Buti Sana Kung ikaw lng magkakasakit sa ktigasan NG ulo mo.. kaso pati ung mga taong nanahimik at sumusunod NG Tama sa mga ipingbbawal eh mgkakasakit DIN NG dahil sau.. so plss… Wag matigas Ang ulo… IDISIPLINA po ang sarili..”

Note: Ma. Lourdes Kalalo’s FB post isn’t based from personal experience but she simply wants Filipinos to think that this scenario she painted in the viral FB post can happen to anyone of the mothers out there if they don’t take the quarantine very seriously.
