Reposting this guide, since more people are asking again….

Should we be concerned that the positivity rate is going up? Unfortunately, this number is no longer very reliable - fewer people are being tested with RTPCR, which affects the percentages. In addition, the ones who test are more likely to be positive (admitted to hospital, needed for workplace, etc), which also impacts the rate.

At best, the value is in the trends being seen, and the higher rate correlates with what we observe in our networks - more of the people we personally know are getting COVID.

Together with keeping an eye on the positivity rate, we should also learn to monitor the HCUR or healthcare utilization rate. For as long as there are facilities available to take care of people who need to be admitted, the situation can be managed.

How should we respond? People have said before that they hoped for “COVID to become endemic” - this is a preview of what that looks like! And in the same way that we take precautions when we hear that a typhoon signal is raised, the actions we need to take - updating vaccinations, staying home when sick, testing to verify symptoms, wearing masks if we are close contacts and in enclosed crowded settings, and choosing well ventilated places - are all within our reach, and can help control the numbers.
Let’s think about the vulnerables - babies who can’t be vaccinated yet, our seniors, and those with other illnesses. They need us to be their wall of protection.

Stay safe everyone!

dati many people get tested (pcr) kahit wala symptoms

pero ngayon pag wala symptoms nobody thinks of getting tested

bakit pa?

kahit may sipon di rin nagpapatest unless paranoid

kahit may lagnat na di parin nagpapa-pcr

kung gusto mag test gumagamit ng rapid test

wala ako kilala nagpa-pcr since 2022

bakit hindi nalang rapid test?

bakit pcr?

[_Qwerty_]

may mga hospitals na hindi tumatanggap nang rapid tests.. gusto RT PCR.. ayaw pa nga nila nung saliva gusto yung sinusundot pa talaga..

ung mga ospital mismo pini-pcr nila mga pasyente dahil may sariling lab sila

pero outside of hospital setting

meron pa ba companies nag re-require mag pcr test mga empleyado?

it's the required test laid down by the steakholders.

it's the PCR labs prolonging the pandemic

[_Qwerty_]

mahal pag sa hospital lab.. mas mura pa din sa Phil Red Cross.. and less than 24 hours ang result.. actually last time 8 hours lang lumabas na..

Saliva RT PCR is 1500
Swab RT PCR is 2000

the PCR labs just process the specimens placed on their tables.
someones else do the decision-making decision of whether specimens have to be collected from certain folks or not, and placed on them tables, as according to policies formulated by the leaders.

the process itself is fast enough, kung i-ilan lang ang i-te-test.
the problem arises when there are many specimens and everyone wants to be first.
the logical thing to do is to fall in line... first in, first out. last in, last out.
