China Corona Virus Outbreak

[bloowolf]

We don't hear families struggling to find hospital beds in NCR unlike last March-April...

Much of the new cases are in provincial cities...

Davao land area is 2,444 square kms & QC 166 but QC has 1.3 million more residents than Davao for a small space. Davao maluwag but cases increasing. Siguro nga hindi strict sa movement ng tao.

Singapore warns children susceptible to virus variants, shuts schools | Reuters

Sige, luwagan na natin kawawa naman mga bata dahil nakakulong...pero i guess we are better than the rest of the world.

Sino bang yun gagong senator na gusto na ibalik face to face class? Gatchalian yata.

Until matapos nila A4 then status quo muna. 30M+ pala ang nunber ng A4 so dito mag concentrate then we can relax a little. Since A4 naman ang laging nasa labas talaga.

We should learn from India, sobrwng nag relax cuz they thought they have it under control.

A HS classmate said that his sister lives in Dipolog and travels often to CDO, Pagadian and nearby areas and noted that masks and social distancing are not the norm there - "dili uso" in the local dialect." She further said that they have no ready access to any testing facility in Dipolog or Pagadian and her family of 5 all had the veerus based on the classic symptoms but they never reported this to the LGU. And, her son continued to go out with friends even when symptomatic

Cases like this one are replicated all over the country. Thus, cases reported are for sure more than what is actual.

Salot talaga itong CHINA WUHAN VIRUS

SINOPHARM... Dutere, his minions and PSG favorite vaccine

(OFFICIAL) UAE, Bahrain make Pfizer/BioNTech shot available to those who got Sinopharm vaccine | Reuters

The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have made the Pfizer/BioNTech (PFE.N), coronavirus vaccine available as a booster shot to those initially immunised with a vaccine developed by the China National Pharmaceutical Group (Sinopharm).

The Gulf states, which have vaccinated large portions of their populations, initially started inoculating residents and citizens with the Sinopharm COVID-19 shot before later introducing other vaccines.

Bahrain is currently fighting its biggest wave of infections, while the UAE is recording nearly twice as many COVID-19 cases as it was seven months ago.

In Abu Dhabi, the UAE capital, a booster shot is available six months after the second shot had been administered, said a representative of Mubadala Health, part of the state fund.

There have been concerns about the efficacy of the Sinopharm vaccine, granted emergency approval by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in May, due to limited published clinical data being available.

The Chinese vaccine is 78.1% effective against symptomatic COVID-19, according to a study published last month in the JAMA medical journal.

However, researchers said the data from the study, conducted in countries including the UAE and Bahrain, was insufficient for the elderly and those with chronic diseases.

Affecting the already very tight chips shortage

202 foreign workers test positive for COVID at 4 tech firms in Taiwan's Miaoli | Taiwan News | 221-6-8 18:49:

The number of COVID-19 cases associated with four tech companies in northern Taiwan's Miaoli County has risen to 249, including 202 foreign migrant workers, primarily from the Philippines.

This addition of the six cases at Foxsemicon brings the grand total of confirmed cases in the Miaoli tech company cluster to 249. Filipinos represent the majority of cases among foreign nationals, with 104 at KYEC, 11 at Greatek, and eight at Accton Technology, according to Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) statistics cited by CNA on Monday.

NUMBER 2 ang QC? Kagalingan WRONG AGAIN!

cathey....... naman naman.

alam mo busy ako sa datngsite videocall. TApos mababasa ko isang taga makatisouth na gusto na naman bumawi.

for your information...... everyday qc is number 1 pooohsitive population. BUT SA INFECTIVITY RATE QC IS NOT TOP 10.

dito nga sa true qc ko district 4 highest positive pero lowest sa death. Can you beat that mga mahihinang nilanglang!!!!!

ang tngnan mo jan sa chart yung makati mo hahahahahaha!!!!! Pagkaliit-liit ang dali magkahawaan so weak. Magpatayo muna kayo ng hospital walang pera jan sa makati puro factory ng uling dynasty

Hinde naman pala malayo efficacy ng pfizer and sinovac eh.

anecdotal evidence sa atin -- before vaccination pinaka madalas mahawaan ng covid are healthcare workers

mula na-vaccinate mga healthcare worker laki daw binaba ng cases

So ibig sabihin wala tayong data sa HCW before and after nabakunahan ng sinovac?

My nephew is a doctor & he mentioned that the Ab titre of hcw reaches the 5,000 range with Sinovac. Those reports come from other medical doctors.
Personally, conventional vaccines are tried & tested. Ang issue lang ng Chinavacs are the source kaya sceptical mga tao. But data are beginning to show it is protective & safe. The remaining issue is the duration of protection.

By September pala ang target na matapos ang inoculation ng A4. So I say status quo until then, bakit parang hirap ang dutiti admin mag multitask?

Ayusin na rin nila ngayon kung paano digitized yun vacc card para isa na lang at hinde mapeke. Hangga't hinde pa madami nabakunahan pag marami na saka sila mag start eh palpak nanaman

Dapat talaga ayusin na ng gobyerno yung vaccination verification.
Kailagan centralize na nila. ang dali ma fake.
Useless yung mga promo's sa pag encourage ng vaccination kung madali lang ma peke ito.

Philippines, take note: resurgence seen in early users of China vaccines | Philstar.com

Phl, take note: resurgence seen in early users of China vaccines
GOTCHA - Jarius Bondoc (The Philippine Star) - June 9, 2021 - 12:00am

Filipino health officials need to find out why. COVID-19 infections are resurging in countries that were first to roll out China-made vaccines.

Was it due to alleged poor efficacy, or a slew of other causes? Since the Philippines is largely dependent on Sinovac and Sinopharm, vaccine authorities can learn from overseas experiences.

Coronavirus transmissions spiked in Chile and Uruguay in May, weeks after mass inoculations with Sinovac, the science and technology news site Arstecnica.com reported Saturday, June 5.

Cases in Chile suddenly multiplied 21 percent, although 53 percent of the target population has been fully immunized with two Sinovac doses. Chile is third only to Israel and the United Kingdom in number of vaccinees per 100 citizens, according to CNBC News. Eighty percent of the new cases have not received both jabs, its health ministry assessed.

In Uruguay the infection uptick came after 43.5 percent of citizens already were injected, Reuters noted. Like Chile, Uruguay reopened shops, restaurants and resorts upon reaching inoculation thresholds.

Similar pandemic jumps were reported in Bahrain, Dubai and Seychelles. The three were among the early adopters of Sinopharm jabs, Arstecnica added.

Bahrain, first to order from China, has administered at least one dose on 58 percent of its population. Reliant as well on Sinopharm, Dubai has covered 52 percent.

With the rise in infections, both Gulf states are offering vulnerable sectors that have received two Sinopharm jabs to get a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech. Bahrain is doing so openly, Dubai quietly, Arstecnica said.

“Seychelles, which has vaccinated a higher proportion of its population than any other country, is struggling to contain a new surge in infections, raising questions about the effectiveness of the Chinese shot the island nation has administered to the majority of its vaccinated residents,” the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) wrote May 10. Seychelles has far fewer people, but the outbreak per capita is worse than in India.

The findings emerged as China belatedly ramps up its own inoculation program to 20 million persons a day. It has immunized 780 million, 400 million in May alone.

Unpublished studies in Serbia suggest that some vaccinees do not produce enough antibodies to repel the pandemic virus three months after, Arstecnica said. The University of Belgrade shared the findings with WSJ.

The head of China’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, George Gao, seemed to confirm the problem. “The efficacy of the existing vaccines is not high,” he told a conference on the country’s inoculants last April. The following month Beijing began planning for third jabs, Arstecnica added.

The World Health Organization granted Sinovac emergency use listing only last week, and Sinopharm in May.

Sinovac has 51 percent efficacy, barely passing the WHO’s minimum of 50 percent. Sinopharm’s 78 percent rating in clinical trials was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. But the tests were mostly on healthy young males.

None of the 35 states with stringent regulatory agencies has endorsed Sinovac or Sinopharm. Both vaccines make use of inactivated coronavirus to trigger antibodies.

The Philippine Food and Drug Administration approved Sinovac earlier for emergency use. Not recommended for frequently exposed health care frontliners, the elderly and sickly, and youths below age 18, FDA specified. Malacañang overruled it, however, when only Sinovac vials trickled in to Manila for those desperate sectors.

The Presidential Security Group and certain politicians received unauthorized Sinopharm jabs as early as last September-October 2020. The FDA belatedly gave it compassionate use permit.

President Rody Duterte hemmed and hawed about getting a jab until his preferred additional Sinopharm doses arrived last May. Without citing studies, he claims that Chinese vaccines are far superior than six Western makes.

The Philippines has received 9.3 million doses as of weekend, two-thirds from Sinovac. Last Monday inoculations commenced on essential government and private workers.

Metro Manila and surrounding provinces, Cebu and Davao, suffered spikes in April and May. Same with major cities in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam, all also early users of Sinovac. But their immunization percentages are too low to attribute to vaccine efficacy. More likely causes were safety complacency and large religious gatherings.



Early adopters of Chinese vaccines see case surges; China plows ahead anyway | Ars Technica

If you got vaccinated and then corona virus attached to your receptor your antibodies immediately works to fight off the virus so the virus just stays let say 3 to 5days in your body? Whereas if you are not vaccinated the virus stays for 14days? So if you are vaccinated the virus has a shorter life span in your body and less chance for transmission.
