Why are massage spas allowed to open and not fitness gyms? Mas may person to person contact ang massage vs fitness gyms.

As for Nagase, the doctor involved in Hokkaido’s response, the hard lesson he and the prefecture have learned, he says, is that until there’s a vaccine or medicine, everyone has to take personal responsibility and understand that, “it really may not be until next year that we can safely lift these lockdowns.”

San Miguel Corporation said it is donating five sets of testing machines to the government in hopes that they would significantly increase the country's COVID-19 testing capacity.

The business conglomerate claimed that with its donation of Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction machines and automated RNA extraction systems, the government will be able to conduct 11,000 more tests per day. The country's accredited laboratories currently do 4,500 tests daily.

another version of the famous flatten-the-curve graph

this one shows whenever ICU cases rise, governments impose lockdown to "flatten the curve"

when cases fall lockdown is lifted only to see ICU cases rise again

it plays out all the way out to 2021

An ER doctor who continued to treat patients after she recovered from COVID-19 has died by suicide

I wonder if this is prevalent on people recovering from Covid-19, the exhaustion. There are reports a month or so ago that some recovering people have lesser lung capacity after recovery.

RIP to the doctor, after this pandemic is over, a lot of health workers would need treatment for PTSD.

because the American far-right believes the virus is liberal media hype to create fear so people will give up their constitutional rights (shelter-in-place / lockdown)

by not wearing a mask Pence sends a signal that he doesn't believe the liberal media

in the US, the virus is political

i don't think we'll ever see Trump ang Pence wear mask

[uls]

that's why we see all those Trumpists defying shelter-in-place orders

they deliberately gather in large groups to demonstrate their disobedience to physical distancing orders

para sa kanila they view lockdown as government overreach and they're pushing back

6 monkeys given an experimental coronavirus vaccine from Oxford did not catch COVID-19 after heavy exposure, raising hopes for a human vaccine

Six monkeys given a vaccine developed by the University of Oxford are said to be coronavirus-free 28 days after sustained exposure to the virus.

The result is a promising early sign for the vaccine, which is also undergoing human trials. A working human version, however, remains months away even in the best-case scenario.

The monkey experiment was carried out in late March by government scientists at the Rocky Mountain Laboratory in Hamilton, Montana, The New York Times reported Monday.

The vaccine given to the rhesus macaques is called hAdOx1 nCoV-19. Human trials began Thursday and are expected to be finished in September. The process of developing a vaccine is long, and even having a usable product by September would be unusually fast.

Sinovac Biotech, a Beijing-based company, is also hunting for a vaccine to the coronavirus. It found last week that its vaccine also appeared to be effective in macaques. Human trials have now begun.

Humans and macaques share about 93% of their DNA. Just because a vaccine appears to work on a macaque does not mean it will work on humans, however.

As many as 80 coronavirus vaccines are in development, but some are choosing to skip the animal-testing stage to save time.

vaccine manufacturer Serum Institute of India will start producing Oxford's vaccine even before knowing if it will work on humans

they're taking the risk (if it doesn't work sayang investment)

if it works and is approved the world doesn't have to wait months for the vaccine to be mass produced

this weekend ang lockdown...

1 and half month since the lockdown started.

Let's say effective ang ECQ, with increasing the number of testings and the consistent 100-300 cases everyday still, it'll show us na marami asymptomatic or mild symptoms lang.

If they'll base it there, parang malabo pa rin sa May 14 ito.

If they will still extend it beyond may 15 dapat mag furlough na sila ng mga govt employees. Hinde pwede puro private land mag sacrifice. Govt din magbawas para meron magastos tulong sa mga tao

my bet is the gov't won't extend the lockdown regardless the number of cases going forward

hindi na talaga kaya ng private sector and strained na ang gov't budget + laki ng nawala tax revenue

[uls]

keep in mind this flatten-the-curve thing is only to slow down the epidemic not eliminate it

this 2 month lockdown is to buy time to increase healthcare capacity (increase number of beds)

kaya nagtayo ng mga quarantine centers sa iba't ibang lugar
