the gov't doesn't know that yet
only nerds like me know
only a nerd like me
describing the South Africa and Brazil variant in December last year

only a nerd like me
saying UK variant has gone global already in December last year

only a nerd like me
saying there could be PH variant in December last year

tsikoteers,
you know me im a behaviorist.
Nagstabilized na veeerus. Ito mga hospital lahat ginagawa covid ngayon kahit hindi.
Kailangan ko magbackread. Ilan araw ako hindi nakatsikot dahil pamchichicks inaatupag ko ngayon.
Heard this too from a doctor friend. madami na daw tao pumupunta sa MMC because of Covid.
I think the gov't may be too late already in trying to contain the different Variant of Covid.
it may look like another ECQ just to prevent the hospitals from being overwhelmed again.
The government doesn't want to spoil their victory lap in getting the vaccines.... Only way to stop the surge is a economy killing lockdown. What's left of the economy will crash and burn.

what is convergent evolution?
it's no coincidence that the virus came up with N501Y mutation on 3 continents
the virus lives in the same environment (human bodies all over the world) exerting the same evolutionary pressure so the virus would come up with the same mutations
it's not that N501Y came from one place (UK) and spread all over the world
N501Y arose in different places and spread
even if you close your borders, the same mutation may arise independently in your country
Ilan percent ng population ang under 18 sa Pilipinas?
So sila yun 30% na hinde na mabakunahan to achieve herd immunity.

because i'm a freaking nerd i read stuff like this:
(there is now officially a Philippine variant)
Genome sequencing and analysis of an emergent SARS-CoV-2 variant characterized by multiple spike protein mutations detected from the Central Visayas Region of the Philippines | medRxiv
-Abstract
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern such as the B.1.1.7, B.1.35 and the P.1 have prompted calls for governments worldwide to increase their genomic biosurveillance efforts. Globally, quarantine and outbreak management measures have been implemented to stem the introduction of these variants and to monitor any emerging variants of potential clinical significance domestically. Here, we describe the emergence of a new SARS-CoV-2 lineage, mainly from the Central Visayas region of the Philippines. This emergent variant is characterized by 13 lineage-defining mutations, including the co-occurrence of the E484K, N501Y, and P681H mutations at the spike protein region, as well as three additional radical amino acid replacements towards the C-terminal end of the said protein. A three-amino acid deletion at positions 141 to 143 (LGV141_143del) in the spike protein was likewise seen in a region preceding the 144Y deletion found in the B.1.1.7 variant. A single amino acid replacement, K2Q, at the N-terminus of ORF8 was also shared by all 33 samples sequenced. The mutation profile of this new virus variant warrants closer investigation due to its potential public health implications. The current distribution of this emergent variant in the Philippines and its transmission are being monitored and addressed by relevant public health agencies to stem its spread in nearby islands and regions in the country.
our variant has N501Y, E484K, P681H mutations
N501Y and P681H is found in UK variant
N501Y and E484 is found in South Africa, Brazil variants
so our variant is UK + South Africa&Brazil all in 1

naalala niyo nagkaroon ng grabeng outbreak sa cebu last year
that was a perfect environment for the virus to mutate
so many human bodies so many immune systems to pressure the virus

i wonder when the mass media will report that officially there's a PH variant
