In the case of my friend's Mom, there is no testing and contact tracing. I guess it's hard for them to do it now because of the number of cases.
My friend's Mom tested positive for Covid on August 7(or 8). None of them in the family were required to take RT PCR. No home visits or check on the quarantine arrangements at home. They are 6 at home and 4 have symptoms including the Mom. The other sister who has no symptoms GOES OUT FOR ERRANDS.
They are not strict anymore compared to 2020 na when someone is found positive, expect a visit from the barangay. You would really be ostracized from the community pa. Can you all remember when a barangay locked a family in their house (I don't agree to that though) It seems like people aren't that much afraid of covid na?
Two days ago I was told by my friend that they had to admit her MomShe is allowed to stay with her even while waiting for her RT PCR. If it's positive then she will be sent home. Buti ngayon allowed na ang bantay. The hospitalization will cost them P700k daw! Sheesh, paano na lang mga walang pambayad??
Update: talking to her now, per vial na turok P40k daw [emoji15] Lalo ako na stress sa takot sa covid.

A friend of mine fully vaxxed ng Sinovac gor positive last week.
Sipon and ubo lang ang symptoms niya. Quarantined for 21 days para daw no need to re swabbed again

“In the case of the Delta variant, neutralizing antibodies have a decreased affinity for the spike protein, whereas facilitating antibodies display a strikingly increased affinity. Thus, ADE may be a concern for people receiving vaccines…” – non veni pacem
"Our data suggest that the balance between neutralizing and facilitating antibodies in vaccinated individuals is in favor of neutralization for the original Wuhan/D614G strain. However, in the case of the Delta variant, neutralizing antibodies have a decreased affinity for the spike protein, whereas facilitating antibodies display a strikingly increased affinity. Thus, ADE may be a concern for people receiving vaccines based on the original Wuhan strain spike sequence (either mRNA or viral vectors). Under these circumstances, second generation vaccines with spike protein formulations lacking structurally-conserved ADE-related epitopes should be considered.”
For aggressive redistribution: ADE may not be occurring with the original Covid strain, but rather, ADE among the “fully vaccinated” is particular to the Delta variant. This would explain everything we have been seeing for the past six weeks, and now we have the science to prove it. Anyone who has taken the vaxx needs to be on an accelerated prevention protocol.
The Covid vaccines made your antibodies focus more on neutralizing the original strain of Covid, that the new Delta strain is now being given a walk in the park by your immune system. This is what they call ADE or Antibody Dependent Enhancement that also occurs in SARS, Dengue, HIV. That is why booster shots for the Delta variant is needed again, and maybe after 6 months another booster shot for another variant on the loose and so on and on...
Yes indeed. Just like the flu, and requiring annual booster shots customized for the particular variant will now be the future. Just got to get people fully vaccinated, because even though you may have breakthrough cases, vaccinated individuals rarely require hospitalization.
Now the question is: do lockdowns increase infection rates or decrease infection rates. I clearly see evidence all around the globe, that forced lockdowns increase infection rates.

Ivermectin, Doxycycline Dropped From List of COVID-19 Drugs by Health Ministry
The Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) under the Union Health Ministry has revised the COVID-19 management guidelines and decided against the usage of certain strong medicines for mild or asymptomatic cases of coronavirus. According to the new guidelines issued on May 27, the health ministry has written to the doctors’ community to drop drugs like hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, doxycycline, zinc, multivitamins etc from prescription.
The government has retained only antipyretic drugs for fever and antitussive for cold symptoms. The ministry has even discouraged medical practitioners from prescribing unnecessary tests related to COVID-19 infection such as CT scan.
The WHO had already advised against the use of Ivermectin, an anti-parasite drug usually prescribed to treat certain parasitic roundworm infections, as a prophylaxis treatment for coronavirus.
The May 27 order had also restricted Remdesivir to select moderate/severe hospitalised patients who are on supplemental oxygen within 10 days of the infection. Another drug in high demand, Tocilizumab is an immunosuppressant medicine that the DGHS said should be used only in severe and critically ill patients.
The second wave has also led to a spurt in cases of black fungus, which experts believe is due to the indiscriminate use of steroids to treat coronavirus.
things turned out exactly as i thought

I kept hearing dandelion extract for the past months. They say that Dandelion extract can neutralize the spike proteins.
Common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) efficiently blocks the interaction between ACE2 cell surface receptor and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein D614, mutants D614G, N501Y, K417N and E484K in vitro

i drink green tea or black tea everyday pero di ko iniisip magiging immune ako sa covid
don't take stuff like this too seriously
Method
We reviewed the antiviral activities of two polyphenols derived from tea, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) from green tea and theaflavins from black tea. Both green tea and black tea polyphenols have been reported to exhibit antiviral activities against various viruses, especially positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses.
Results
Recent studies have revealed the possible binding sites present on SARS-CoV-2 and studied their interactions with tea polyphenols. EGCG and theaflavins, especially theaflavin-3,3′-digallate (TF3) have shown a significant interaction with the receptors under consideration in this review. Some docking studies further emphasize on the activity of these polyphenols against COVID-19.
Conclusion
This review summarizes the available reports and evidences which support the use of tea polyphenols as potential candidates in prophylaxis and treatment of COVID-19.
