China Corona Virus Outbreak

[kagalingan]

Next week ba malaman na natin if nagkahawaan sa mga campaign rallies?

O wala na nagpapatest even if may mild symptoms?

If hindi tumaas daily covid count, it means endemic na sa atin. So panalo na tayo!

bantayan mo yung kampanya ni luhgaw sa makati. Punta jan paranaque, pasay, taguig. Tingnan kung same pattern mahihinang nilalang.

Marami kami dito sa Tsikot pupunta sa rally Eto pala ang Fourth District ng NCR.

I don't consider pasay and pateros as south though.

Did we reach our target herd immunity last January?

maybe

sa dami nagka omicron sa january halos lahat ng tao na-covid na

[Ry_Tower]

Kung walang testing, walang positives yan. After election na yan if gusto lang nila malaman talaga.

Pero sana nga endemic na talaga para back to more normalcy.

In a prospective cohort of over 1,000 people with moderate to critical Covid, the memory T cell response at 1 year across variants was well preserved, indicative of sustained protection vs severe disease

Why posibility of a new surge is a very small? No one COVID variant caused surges twice..Reinfection from a previos Omicron variant infection is still very rare...

S.Korea’s total COVID cases top 1 million as crematoria, funeral homes overwhelmed - BusinessWorld Online


SEOUL — South Korea’s total coronavirus infections topped 10 million, or nearly 20% of its population, authorities said on Wednesday, as surging severe cases and deaths increasingly put a strain on crematories and funeral homes nationwide.

The country’s infection and death rates are still far below those recorded elsewhere, as almost 87% of its 52 million residents are fully vaccinated and 63% have received booster shots.

But the death toll nearly doubled in just about six weeks, with daily fatalities peaking at 429 last Friday, fuelling demand for funeral arrangements.

The government on Monday instructed the 60 crematories nationwide to operate for longer hours to burn up to seven bodies from five, and the 1,136 funeral parlors capable of storing some 8,700 bodies to expand their facilities

Why are Philippine case rates so low when everyone else in the world is spiking?

It is likely multifactorial, and is a product of both science and luck. These include:

1. People following mask mandates.
Pinoys in general have worn their masks faithfully, and there is wide support for retaining mask mandates. Face shields likely helped, especially when vaccination was just starting out. Some continue to wear them. Even now people still feel naked without their mask when eating out, and I see people putting it right back when they go to get food in buffets. This gives us an extra layer of safety, which is always a good idea.

2. Many vaccine types.
Most countries only use two to three vaccine brands. The US for instance only has 2 mRNA (Pfizer, Moderna) and one viral vector (Janssen). With the rise of variants, too much emphasis on spike protein increases the risk of antigenic escape. We use eight different brands. Despite the Western bias against Chinese brands, the inactivated vaccines (Sinovac, Sinopharm) actually have more antigen epitopes aside from Spike protein. This makes them more likely to be resilient to variant mutations.

3. Early boosting.
The Philippines was one of the earliest countries to adapt boosters at 3 months. The TAG and All Experts Group very quickly reviewed Omicron data and adopted the recommendation, just in time for the Omicron spike. In addition, because of our vaccine brand diversity, many people ended up with heterologous boosters which may be more effective against variants than homologous ones.

4. Our Omicron spike was BA.2.
Unlike most countries in the world that got BA.1, our January spike was BA.2 driven. We saw mostly BA.1 among quarantined travelers, which means they didn't make it to the community. Unfortunately someone with BA.2 made it through. This resulted in a large spike but it also quickly receded. It probably ran smack into a boosted or recently vaccinated population. We also delayed our Delta spike with preemptive lockdowns so the hybrid immunity from breakthroughs from August was still relatively fresh. We expect BA.2 hybrid immunity (BA.2.3 to be exact, since BA.2 in the Philippines has been designanted its own sublineage) to protect against other BA.2 sublineages, including BA.2.2 which is wreaking havoc in Hong Kong.


There is no way to figure out which of these had the greatest impact, but what is very clear is cases are staying low despite opening up and our hospitals are not overwhelmed. There may be other factors but these four are the ones that make the most sense. Let us not become complacent though as a spike is always possible. If that does happen, we have protocols to respond to it. In the meantime, enjoy your new-found freedom, but don't take it for granted. Keep masking up and vaccinating and we will be ok.

ayan ang mali pag first world gusto subukan lahat. Ngayon sinovac pa 5thou 5thou hawaan eh pag napasukan ng feezer yan mga 100thou yan. Tapos masunurin pa mga tao jan nakowh.

Eh dito pinas grabe kababa nabooster wala pa 10%

Kita mo post ni monsay about inactivated veeerus.

Kaso im practicing wholistic nutrition.

Why are Philippine case rates so low when everyone else in the world is spiking?

Could it be the booster shot? When I was in the US a couple of weeks ago, we were no longer wearing masks and no spacing (hotel, office, mall, streets, restos, eveywhere!) except when you are inside an airport. We even shook hands and sometimes hug with acquaintances at times. We were required to undergo rt-pcr and 1 even did a repeat before the flight as his specimen was taken beyond the 48 hour window. We were all negative and even now when I checked on them, are doing fine (except for the jet lag). We were all boosted with mrna before the trip.

dreamy,.

booster shot ng pinas NAPAKABABA.

dapat each city ipost kung gaano kadami sinovac, feezer, astra, moderna....and unvaxx like me.

Para malaman kung ano talaga nakakatulong.

Kasi bakit taas infectivity rate sa makati, paranaque, taguig. Eh kahit icombine population ng tatlo mas madami pa din tao quezon city.

ito hawaan ng western countries

israel 13,001

america 47,087

india 1,938

brazil 46,721

france 146,000

tingnan nyo india no feezer. overwhelming majority astra zenecca.

Which vaccines is India using?
India is currently using four vaccines - the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab, known locally as Covishield; Covaxin by Indian firm Bharat Biotech; Russian-made Sputnik V and now Corbevax.

Covishield has accounted for over 90% of the doses given to adults so far.

Tingnan nyo ano ano bansa majority feezer ????

Perhaps filipinos have already achieved herd immunity brought about by the election fever kags?

The last surge in the US was Delta variant driven. Many are saying the US will have it's turn when BA.2 out infect BA.1... And protection for those who are fully vaccinated and those who received booster shots will begin to wane.
