Bakit mas madaming mga vaccinated sa ospital kaysa mga unvaxxed...

Bakit mas madaming mga vaccinated sa ospital kaysa mga unvaxxed...

assume a population of 100 people.
if 80% of the population are vaxxed, and 20% of these get covid and are in need of hospitalization, that's 16 patients.
if 20% of the population are unvaxxed, and 70% of them get covid and are in need of hospitalization, that's 14 patients.
16 + 14 = 30 patients. of the 30 patients, the majority (16) are vaxxed.
without knowing the background information, it would be easy to come to the wrong conclusion that vaccination increases one's chances at getting hospitalized for covid.

hindi pwede lumabas ang unvaxxed pero pwede lumabas para bumili ng essentials?

Yes. Pwede pero bili ng almusal then uwi sa bahay, labas ulit bili ng lunch uwi sa bahay, labas ulit bili ng snacks the uwi sa Bahay, then bili ng dinner uwi ulit sa bahay, bili ng midnight snacks uwi ukit sa bahay.

Tapos bawal mag commute so puro lakad punta ng fast food or mall tapos lakad ulit pauwi. [emoji23]

nabuhay ang fisher mall ngayon pandemic. Dati halos nilalangaw supermarket.

Sa wendys once lang nagtry at hindi na worth it like ng 90s. . Ngayon presyong 150, lasang 70pesos. Lagi ko napapansin dami ng customer dahil free parking sa area. Puntahan dahil no frills no thermometer check, no need vaxx card, ang dami kumakain pero gaya sabi ko parang lamang sa jollibee na minahalan.

Its the free parking kaya jan ako parada tapos lakad papunta mall.

Ngayon naman nag mezza ako, bumili sa food kioks doon lahat open may foot traffic. Hindi ako hinanpan qr / id ng security guard. Diredirecho lang. Hindi na nga ako nag thermal scan.

Maybe because you are transiting Japan.
Thats Japan requirement. They may have a different regulation for transits.
PAL is still 72 hours.

Philippines' new arrival quarantine rules: 48-hour test result, no more travel ban on any country

Philippines’ new arrival quarantine rules: 48-hour test result, no more travel ban on any country
JAN 14, 2022 2:44 PM PHT
PIA RANADA

Save for some exceptions, the few foreigners allowed in the country must be fully-vaccinated, says the national government
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines has updated its quarantine and testing rules for persons arriving from abroad. One of the main features of the new rules is the requirement that travelers get a COVID-19 swab test 48 hours before their departure for the Philippines, instead of the previous 72-hour test requirement.

However, results of RT-PCR tests taken 72 hours before departure will still be honored until January 19, said Acting Presidential Spokesman and Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles, explaining the new rules on Friday, January 14.

The country has also done away with completely barring travel from any particular country. Previously, such bans were imposed on “Red List” countries, or countries with critically-high transmissions or local transmission of a variant of concern. But in the new rules, travelers from “Red List” countries can now enter the Philippines but must abide by stricter quarantine and testing rules.

The system of categorizing countries into “Red,” “Yellow,” and “Green” remains but the length of quarantine periods and timing of testing has been changed for each category.

Nograles explained the rules during a Malacañang press briefing. They are officially laid out in Resolution No. 157 of the government’s pandemic task force.

The new protocol will apply mostly to Filipinos who are coming from other countries since the Philippines has still not opened its borders to foreigners with tourist visas. The only foreigners currently allowed to enter the country are diplomats, and those with special business or permanent resident visas.

On Friday, the Philippines imposed yet another requirement on the few foreigners allowed to enter: they must be fully-vaccinated. The only foreigners exempted from this rule are minors, persons who cannot receive a COVID-19 vaccine due to health reasons as certified by a “competent public health authority” in the country of origin, and diplomats and their dependents – 9(e) visa holders.

Below are the updated rules.

Red List countries
Fully-vaccinated: Negative result from RT-PCR test taken 48 hours before departure, quarantine upon arrival, and take RT-PCR test on 7th day (arrival day counts as day one). Release from quarantine facility once negative test result is received, home quarantine until day 14.

Unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, vaccination status cannot be validated: Negative result from RT-PCR test taken 48 hours before departure, quarantine upon arrival for 10 days (arrival day counts as day one) and take RT-PCR test on 7th day. After 10 days, release from quarantine facility then home quarantine until day 14.
