China Corona Virus Outbreak

[_Cathy_]

Testing is expensive.

Major hindrance why most people would not get themselves tested.

Yup. I have a friend who lives in LP, they are middle class pero nagtalo pa sila sa house if they all need to be swabbed. My friend asked me where I go for swab, it's P5500 per person e they are 6 at home (his parents, 3 children and helper) Initially what they did was only those with symptoms (Helper and Mom) e nag positive both so the LGU required them to all take a swab! Tapos hindi naman shoulder ng LP

I thought of getting swabbed again to see if negative na but my doctors told me no need, saka sa CESU sabi rin may chance na mag positive pa even if recovered?!?!

Yes, malaki chance mag positive, but not infectious anymore. Kaya DOH is advising against a post test. Para hindi na makadagdag sa backlog ng mga tests.

Problema ko nga required sa travel at RT PCR, paano na pag nag positive ako I plan to fly out next month

2 days before the flight naman ang requirement na negative PCR, so malamang negative ka na by next month. Unless nagkaroon ka ng reinfection.

wow, 5500 per swab! mahal nga. Red cross has saliva PCR for 2k only.
No need to reswab since some people still test positive kahit 3 months after symptoms.

sabi kasi sa CESU sometimes 3 months nagpo positive pa kaya panay inom ko ng VCO, wala naman mawawala kung gawin ko

Pero diba dapat yung RT PCR na sa nose ang accurate? Sa ibang labs kasi medyo mas mura pero ang tagal magsched. Yung sa lab where I have it done home service saka 24 hrs lang ang scheduling. Yun din sabi sakin I could still test positive after 3 months. Yung Tita ko ganun nangyari Problemado tuloy ako kasi naggoo google ako and I cant find any info kung paano pag nagpositive before travel

[Monseratto]

Is your last swab test already negative?

I didn't re swab pa kasi my doctor said no need and cesu said baka mag positive pa. My doctor cleared me Sep 7 pero sa LGU Sep 10 hehe. Ang mahal kasi ng RT PCR to do it several times

DOH-approved ang saliva pcr swab test ng Red Cross. Same accuracy as nasal swab pcr.
Dami pa nila branch. At may tieup sila ng Angkas for home saliva pcr.

Kung walang rtpcr yung clearance mo, pa test ka gamit antigen muna para makatipid ka rtlpcr, pag nag positive ka rtpcr irereport ka ng testing lab sa lgu mo. Pati passport number mo nakatimbre sa naia. 4k nalang 24hrs rtpcr sa chinese gen. Checkin morin airline kung mayron silang preffered labs. Pinaka importante vaccination certificate.

If cases is now really declining so vaccine works? or it is just the natural trend of the covid virus it comes and disappear naturally (vice-versa).

that's what i am wondering about.
are the current figures a product of the vaccination efforts + the delta et al variants?

what current figures?

16 to 18 thousand new cases per day?

[dr. d]

the entire shebang.
the pattern of numbers that we have been seeing these past weeks.

you're wondering why it's too low or too high?

[kagalingan]

Dami nasayang na pera sa testing surgical mask, fezshield.

Dati umabot pa 28per piece surgical.

Ako magpatest lang using dura or bloodtest. Wala ako tiwala pag susundutin ilong. At hangang 90pesos budget ko like hiv, hepa test. Beyond that deadma na im not empleyado

Kaya example gusto ko vacation nagrequire pcr test eh deadma ako. Maghanap na lang ako public waterfalls or batis

[uls]

how we went from over 25,000 cases per day to 16/17 thousand per day?

[dr. d]

i'm wondering what the figures would be, if we were not vaccinated, if there were no lockdowns, etc etc.

[uls]

looking at PH covid deaths

there's no pattern

vaccinations started in March 2021

i don't see effect ng vaccination

[uls]

ibangga natin sa daily cases



looks like kahit mas madami cases this delta surge di masyado nagbago ang number of deaths

i guess vaccine prevented more deaths
