    Propaganda or china is truly worried of the forthcoming covid19 backlash?

    China seizes over 89 million shoddy face masks | ABS-CBN News


    And I wonder how many of these are substandard.

    ^^

    these guys keep saying this virus is no different from the flu

    but does influenza overwhelm hospitals?

    can anybody recall a flu season that this happened?

    can anybody recall a flu season where doctors and nurses get infected and die?

    if this is something that happens every year as those 2 doctors are implying...

    why don't i recall something like this?

    o baka mahina lang memory ko

    Government testing data is terribly not up to date...

    Hotspot alert: Calabarzon COVID-19 cases are on the rise | ABS-CBN News


    In order to see how a curve is being flattened, one needs to look at the individual cases per day. The erratic data of new cases being reported is not attributable to more tests being done as the reporting is probably not real time and the delays in releasing the results will not be able to provide us a true picture of the “flattening of the curve” until all backlog results are accounted for and we start “flattening” the data. Otherwise, it would be meaningless just gathering data and trying to make heads or tails from them.

    ang nangyayari kasi sa China ngayon madami negosyante sumali sa mask-making business coz of tremendous demand

    bibili lang sila ng machine and raw materials they're in the mask-making business na

    walang rules walang quality control

    there are suppliers / middlemen that are shady they don't give you a company name and they'll ask for full payment agad

    buyers who have little or no experience dealing with chinaman naloloko sila

    ung mga buyer na nag-google lang ng mask supplier... lolokohin lang mga yan

    meron nag transfer ng pera naglaho ung kausap

    ung iba may natanggap na item defective naman (at least may natanggap)

    if you know what you're doing you need someone on the ground in China

    that guy has to stand outside a mask factory with a suitcase full of cash and a cargo plane at the airport

    that's how you secure supplies right now

    kaya gumagamit ng military aircraft ang Pinas para mag pick up ng supplies

    I don't think it will just be people, soon it might be states.

    And all this reflects upon the state leadership and the people.

    That is why the current actions of trying to plug the big hole. Nasa nature nila eh, yun malaking problema. Wala pake sa nangyayari. Sabagay dito naman dami ding nagsasamantala ng situation thru overpricing of essential and limited products. But not on the grand and international scale as beloved China.

    kaya eversince lumabas sa news puro defective ang natanggap ng ibang bansa nag damage control ang China gov't

    di naman sadya ng China gov't magpadala ng defective products sa ibang bansa

    their regulators failed to keep up with so many new mask-makers na nagsulpotan

    tsaka kasi buong mundo bumibili ng medical supplies sa china

    meron bidding war

    suppliers are talking to several countries and state governments and NGOs all at the same time

    (i guess some of you have come across news where the US Federal gov't is competing with their own state goverments for supplies)

    there are people on the ground in China who are paying cash to get someone else's order

    (i guess some of you have come across news where supplies meant for one country went to another country)

    it's crazy right now in the medical supply industry it's amazing our country is able to secure supplies (i guess coz we have people who have very reliable contacts in China)

    Nabanggit nga nung 4PM-DOH lady "di lang tayo ang bumibili ng PPE, buong mundo bumibili" (not exact words)

    The doctors have valid points based on current data. Though like you said, why are some hospitals overwhelmed and medical staffs dying? Pero the one thing na tumatak sakin sa sinabi nung doctor was yung pag weaken ng (natural) immunity because of isolation. That I believe somehow.

    I've been saying repeatedly that when you test a lot of people you'll find a lot of asymptomatic positives tapos pag ibangga mo sa number of deaths makita mo mababa pala ang case fatality rate

    And that's exactly what they're saying sa video

    Ang hindi ko agree ung sinasabi nila parang typical flu season lang daw ito

    Babalik ako sa tanong kung typical flu lang ito every year ba nangyayari ito sa italy spain new york etc?

    So nangyayari ito every year hindi lang nirereport ng media?

    Sabi media hype lang daw itong corona corona

    So it's only this year nakatutok ang media sa flu season?

    CCDC Chemical Biological Center Tests for the Best Homemade Face Covering Materials | U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center

    The TLDR version:

    They found that the best readily available material to use in a homemade face covering is four-ply microfiber cloth which can be found in the cleaning section of most big box stores. It filters out over 75 percent of particles. In comparison, the N95 mask used by healthcare workers in hospitals can filter 90 percent of particles. The team also found that even a polyester bandana can be reasonably effective if it is used in layers. It will filter out 40 percent of suspended particles.
