Answers to some of your most burning questions   I lost my mother to Covid in December. She rarely went out, managed her business and family affairs from home, and did not attend any social gatherings. There was just this one day when she had stepped out to see her ailing brother who, sadly, also passed away from Covid four days after her. As a daughter and a doctor, I live with tremendous guilt that I could not protect her, especially when the vaccine was so close. I myself had mild Covid last year, took my first vaccine shot in March, and still adhere to social distancing guidelines. Why? Because I am aware that I can again be an asymptomatic carrier and transmit the virus to others. The recent rise in cases began exactly a year after the first Covid patient was detected in the country, and as of March 31, we are setting new records of cases and deaths every single day. Despite a clear indication of another surge, our health care facilities are once again unprepared to cope with the sudden onslaught of new infections. The government just imposed a circuit-breaker lockdown. It is a timely decision to break the vicious cycle of transmission.
