China Corona Virus Outbreak

[BratPAQ]

Hindi naman kasi consistent yung screening ng OFW. Pag nag 2 weeks quarantine na eh kahit wala na swab test. Swab test na lang pag kailangan na dahil mas mahigpit dun sa pupuntahan bansa.

Karamihan sa mga open na bansa pare parehas naman requirement, negative covid test 3-5 days old on arrival, then another covid test on the 6th day after arrival. Yang outbreak ngayon diba mga engot na pinoy na nag tourist sa Dubai ang unang nagkalat at ang 2 resident ng UK na nagpilit umuwi at nagsinungaling sa contact tracing form. Ang problema yung mga countries na naunang nag roll out ng vaccine dun nagluwag.

What we are seeing right now are confirmed covid cases but how about those who never knew that they got covid and never been tested? I guess that would be triple or even quadruple the confirmed cases count. I myself take rapid test every month or 3 weeks always positive IGG but what if within the month I got covid virus and I never knew because I didnt get positive IGM. It is just really hard to contain this.

Uubra pa ba sinovac? Nag warn na yun OCTA group ng maaga na magiging ganito actually napabilis pa nga dahil projection nila end of March pa.

Are masks not working anymore?

no one really knows how effective these vaccines are/will be, as virus variants are continuously being generated. the night is too young.

masks always work.
it's the people who do not put them on the correct way, that is the weakest link.

but even better than mask,
is the stay home policy.

it is more effective to remove oneself from the occasion of the virus,
than to wear the best protective wear money can buy, amidst the environs of the virus.

Mask will always work kung yung mga labas ang ilong eh pwedeng paluin ng yantok sa mukha.

The U.S. Is Sitting on Tens of Millions of Vaccine Doses the World Needs

Someones hoarding the vaccine.

Why don't they just send it to Americans based abroad where AstraZeneca vaccine has already been approved.

^^^

ayan sinabi ng PGC



-

kung dati nag demand tayo ng flight ban from UK after announcement of UK variant

ngayon kailangan mag demand ng flight ban from PH ang ibang bansa

sounds ridiculous diba?

it takes time for these things to be announced officially

by the time na-announce yan matagal nang kumakalat yan

who knows this Cebu variant could have evolved in Q4 2020 and only detected in Feb 2021

Yun ang tingin ko dyan re Cebu variant. Sometimes the virus needs to find a very comparable host where it will be able to mutate into a new strain before transferring.

Or it could slowly mutate naman while being transferred kaya hassle dyan na wala tayo effective at widespread testing kasi hindi mo ma-check agad kung may small changes na sa genome ng bagong variant nang magpopositive na tao.

Dito sa Pinas basta positive, yun na yun. Laterna lang naisip ni DOH na baka nga ibang variant na yan at need na itest yung bagay na yun.

Trump bought so many vaccines before he left office. IIRC $3.5B for Moderna $3.95B Pfizer, kaso daming tao na ayaw mag pa vaccine

Moderna $2B in addition to previous $1.5B: Moderna to Produce Additional COVID-19 Vaccines Under $2B Army Contract Modification - GovCon Wire

How a badly managed quarantine of infected arrivals has now wiped out a year's worth of lockdown. And no one is held accountable for it.

Business sector kasi iyak ng iyak about loosening restrictions.

magpapa bakuna kaya si kags,
or will he place his trust on his innate natural immunity?

doc, ngayon darating summer magbibilad ako tanghaling tapat yung tirik talaga araw tapos try ko tumingin sa ulap para pumasok sun rays sa eyes ko kasi mabilis maabsorb Vitamin D. Ngayon ginagawa ko na pero sa summer gusto ko itry kung kakayanin ko 39degrees 41 degrees.

Amg hirap gawin yung supplemental na Liquid D3 at K2. Kasi majority gawa for internal use so by mouth talaga. Pag sa skin ipapahid hindi na 100% potent kasi dapat alcohol base para maabsorb. (ang iissue kasi pag by mouth eh side effect insomnia so dapat itake morning)

Kaya pag nasa winter eh nakasalalay ka sa D3 at K2. Tapos Vitamin A pa para mabalance fat soluble. Synergiistic yan trial & error sa dosing. Kaya swerte tayo dito pinas maaraw mainit magpapaaraw na lang libre.

Laban sa covid eh palakasin immunity. Magpaaraw at maayos na tulog. Kaya nga ako iiwasan ko na magpuyat sa datingsite.

Ang sun wag nyo take for granted. Wag kayo matakot sa skin cancer kasi sa mga studies yung mga nagka skin cancer eh gumaling din and puro caucasian descent yun. Eh mga pinoy like farmers may nagkaka skin cancer ba? Sanay sa tirik ng araw yan.

3rd world tayo eh

ung genome sequencing countries do it voluntarily and upload sequences to public database for other scientists to see... di natin priority yan eh... takes resources to do that

kaya mostly develop countries lang contributor sa database

dahil sa pagkalat ng UK variant itong 2021 na-pressure ang Pinas mag sequence

Kaya mukhang dapat ibalik 2 weeks quarantine sa mga travellers unless may accurate and fast testing.

Dami na naman dito sa amin mga APOR ang nagdadala ng virus eh.

ideally... when you're an island...

you look for everyone with virus on your island and quarantine them until they recover/no longer infectious

at the same time everyone coming to your island should be quarantined before they're allowed to mix with people already on the island

problem with a piece of paper that says someone is negative is it only tells you the person has no detectable virus at the time of the swab (which is usually 3 to 5 days ago)

maari wala talaga siya virus o bagong hawa lang siya (konte palang ang virus)

and the person can get infected between the time after the swab and the time he's entering your island

so a piece of paper that's 3 or 5 days old doesn't guarantee anything

kung ako authority sa island di ko na require PCR test result coz for me it's useless -- derecho quarantine agad

Well, the next best thing to quarantine & the rt pcr is the Rapid Antigen Test. Although not as accurate, it will be more practical for a resort to screen guests/travellers. But I am betting a Vaccine Passport will be a requirement for all once majority are immunized.

they're bending the rules of logic, in their efforts to stimulate the economy.

from a tourism perspective that will discourage tourists

who wants to go to an island where upon arrival you're going to be isolated in a hotel room for 2 weeks before being allowed to go anywhere
