if this was 1918 wala pcr test
the only way they can count number of infected people is those who exhibit symptoms
no such thing as "asymptomatic"
it's either you're sick or you're not
they decided the pandemic ended in 1920 coz fewer and fewer people got sick and died
humans in 1920: "mukang tapos na 'to"
now 21st century humans can detect viral rna in the nose of perfectly healthy people and call it a "case"
so as long as there will be people who test positive they won't declare the end
sarscov2 is now endemic it's not going away
if they keep swabbing people they'll always find people with sarscov2 rna
asa pa 2 years lang ito tulad ng spanish flu?
iba ang basehan ngayon

coz in Jan/Feb 2020 people saw videos from china of people collapsing on the streetPeople were more alarmed with the original Alpha (Wuhan) than with this Delta or Lambda.
everyone thought it's that deadly
then around 2nd half of 2020 people realized it wasn't that bad
madami pala gumagaling
kaya lumakas ang loob lumabas
since then mahirap na mag enforce ng tunay na lockdown
nagtago mga tao during mar/apr/may 2020 lockdown not coz the gov't was effective
it was coz people were really afraid
now people are no longer afraid di na maulit ung lockdown tulad last year
btw Alpha variant is not wuhan variant
alpha = uk variant
wuhan is often referred to as wild type
Tidbits of news from work:
A van full of passengers passing through a checkpoint in Tanauan was stopped, each passenger was fined P1,500 & made to turn back.
The Mega Vax Center in Nayong Pilipino can handle 150,000/day & anyone from any region can get vaxxed but have to register.

from what i understand,
the organizers do not care where you come from.
all they care, is that the folks "put in for a schedule", so as to avoid crowding.
as such, i see no reason for spuriousness.
i have not tried, as i already got both shots before.
more sophisticated computer programs do have discriminatory powers, i.e., they know the lay-out of the barangays, and will reject spurious inputs that do not conform to their databank.
