China Corona Virus Outbreak

[dr. d]

I assume some of the private vehicles are off to work.

i wish i wouldn't have to.
but some patients get "dis-appointed", if i don't.

[dr. d]

I give up. I admit I'm not "that" fanatic. Spill the beans, sir.

Ang hirap nitong pinaggagagawa natin ano po? Essentially, wala nang kuwenta tong lockdown since di na natin alam yung extent ng spread ng virus. Ang lockdown, para maging effective kahit maliit na extent lang, eh dapat ginawa nung may idea pa yung DOH kung hanggang saan naspread yung virus. This time, pautot nalang to para masabing may ginagawa.

Ang hinihintay ko nalang eh yung pagdating ng mga testing kit na pangakong binibili. Only way to isolate the infected from the uninfected eh mass testing. Madedetect mo yung asymptomatic na may virus. Hindi puro may symptoms lang ang tinitignan. Andami nang asymptomatic na nagpapositie sa ibang bansa. Dito, si Zubiri lang (through his priviledge).

The “one month community quarantine” - the scientific reason

You have to read about countries that successfully brought down their cases.

First you need to slow down the transmission by limiting people movement. The virus will always look for a new host so they can keep on multipying.

Once you limit movement you create distance for virus to jump to a new host. When the virus cant find a new host then they expire by themselves and disappear.

We cannot contain the virus proliferation in a mobile community. Because everyone will just keep passing it on.

Some scientist project the life cycle of the virus maybe from 14-21 days.

So we need to starve the virus by that number of days until they expire.

By partial lockdown we may slow it down. By total lockdown we extinguish it.

But the contigency plan is being made complicated by folks who do not cooperate and keep on moving.

Let's all cooperate.

Yep... in hind sight maybe we should have done this to ALL foreign and local travellers a long time ago... di lang sa mga TDKs.

No more international flights leaving Luzon starting March 20, 2020

MANILA, Philippines – Airports in the island of Luzon will no longer operate outbound international flights starting Friday, March 20, as the Philippine government enforces an "enhanced community quarantine," which, in effect, is a total lockdown of the island.

Under the rules by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF), outbound foreigners "shall be allowed travel for a period of 72 hours" from the effectivity of the quarantine. The total lockdown started 12 am on Tuesday, March 17.

But Filipinos are barred from leaving the Philippines through any of the international airports in Luzon beginning Tuesday, or as soon as the quarantine takes effect.

Are there exceptions?

Only uniformed personnel transporting medical supplies, individuals carrying lab specimens, and those on humanitarian missions are allowed to travel by air.

Inbound flight passengers, meanwhile, will be "allowed transit," subject to quarantine procedures if they come from a country with existing travel restrictions imposed by the IATF.

Only Filipinos, their spouses and children, holders of a permanent resident visa, and foreign diplomats will be allowed entry into the Philippines from an international flight.

I'm basing my statement on South Korea, China, and Singaporean approach.
WHO expert: We need more testing to beat coronavirus | New Scientist
South Korea Sees Coronavirus Slowdown—Without A Lockdown, But With Nearly 25, Tests

And I am not advocating not following the current program, but merely suggesting a more logical approach. Is it not?

why Luzon only?
whole country na dapat... hindi naman immune yung mga tao sa visayas at mindanao eh!

[bugsmobile]

Hope you were all able to do some groceries.




One employee from BDO Missouri in Greenhills is positive. Crap, dun pa naman isang bank ng office. We might be carriers na.

my guess,
because the index cases come from luzon.

but i hear, one or two cases have been identified outside of luzon...?

i do not understand fully, what our epidemiologists are thinking...

San Juan really got badly hit, for whatever reason.

they should rename it to San Wuhan for now.

BTT: di ba dapat all bank branches should be closed na?

Sino pa makakalabas ngayon eh wala ng public transpo?

yung mga may sasakyan may credit cards naman sila.

Putting people's lives at risk etong BDO and other banks na nag open. tsk.

I'm guessing the one who goes to the prayer room is the Filipino patient zero. If greenhills is ground zero, then a lot of people are expected to be infected.

[boybi]

Magkakagulo if closed all banks.

grab food is back in operation to support "food establishments that continue to operate". although riders would be limited in number for now.
