China Corona Virus Outbreak

[Wh1stl3r]

dati nabanggit ko -- sana we can see data on all-cause mortality (total number of deaths from all causes)

pre-covid 2017, 2018, 2019

then compare natin sa 2020 and 2021

if we see excess number of deaths in 2020 and 2021 malamang that's covid related

Yes that's my line of thinking too. Some "recovered" covid patients suddenly die of a heart attack or stroke weeks and months after being tagged as "recovered". Some die without even getting tested.

that would be... immoral.
it may put health professionals under a litiginous situation.
we can't deny help to any and all, who seek it.

I have doubt about this… may mga hospital money down first pa nga eh… pag walang pera walang opera… talking about immoral… add mo pa yang pa special waiting time… keso ganyan, keso ganito…

Philippines added to WHO sponsored Phase 3 clinical trial for Taiwan made COVID vaccine Medigen...

Lee said that like Novavax, Medigen is a protein subunit vaccine, meaning that the vaccine contains purified pieces of a pathogen, and because these fragments are incapable of transmitting disease, they are considered very safe.

Lee said that neither of these protein-based vaccines are expected to produce the myocarditis seen in rare cases with mRNA vaccines or the thrombosis sporadically reported with AstraZeneca. He predicted that Medigen's vaccine will undergo post-approval studies and Phase III clinical trials abroad and will prove to have an efficacy that is similar to Novavax.

Ano ba hinihintay nila? I don't think that's a relaxing environment.

people have been dying from those illnesses, even before covid.
heart attacks and strokes in the young, are all pretty well-known in medical literature.
is it possible, they are more visible now, because we are more vigilant now?

so yes,
we do need a good analysis of our data.

[baludoy]

details, please.

they were in their 40's.

not sure of their health status prior to their passing because i haven't seen them in years. but they were relatively heavy set dudes when we were still in school.

from a medical point of view,
"how are we sure it was covid that done her in?"
perinatal maternal mortality is already a known entity, even before covid.

devil's advocate.

I agree doc. The pregnant sister of my sister-in-law gave birth unexpectedly because her water broke. She tested positive in the hospital. Both mother and baby survived naman. But I believed covid virus may have a hand on why she gave birth unexpectedly.

mRNA Singapore jumps to 5k daily cases... testing too much.

Singapore’s health ministry said it is looking into an “unusual surge” in infections after the city-state reported 5,324 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, the most since the beginning of the pandemic.

Singapore also recorded 10 new deaths from the disease on Wednesday, taking the toll to 349.

“The infection numbers are unusually high today, mostly due to many COVID-positive cases detected by the testing laboratories within a few hours in the afternoon,” the ministry of health (MOH) said in a statement on Wednesday night.

There have been reports of people developing rare blood clots after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine, including some deaths. While the risk of this side effect is extremely low, it tends to appear more frequently in younger age groups.

The U.K. reported 79 cases of these blood clots by the end of March, compared with 20.2 million doses administered. Of the 19 people who died as a result, 11 were younger than 50.

This has led some countries to restrict the vaccine to older recipients -- a potentially infeasible course for Japan.

Japan has been inoculating older adults with the Pfizer vaccine and is set to begin offering the Moderna shot at mass vaccination sites Monday. Between the two, the country has secured enough doses for over 122 million people, more than the 110 million people aged 16 and older for whom vaccines have been authorized.

Given that Japan is already on track to have enough supply to cover its vaccination campaign for seniors, which the government aims to wrap up by the end of July, it would be difficult to use the AstraZeneca shot for older groups as has been tried elsewhere.

If there is no decision about where to use the vaccines within the next six months, the stock could expire and be lost.

The U.S. has yet to greenlight the AstraZeneca vaccine. Yet the country has agreed to purchase 300 million doses, and there are batches of ready supplies.

For now, the White House plans to ship unused vaccines elsewhere, which matches a proposal made within the Japanese government.
