    we are all a'waitin' with literal baited breath.
    "sawa na kaming mag-masskara..."

    OT.
    i am reminded of a conference, wherein the first-year resident was strongly recommending a new drug, claiming it could do a lot of good...
    after his spiel, the senior consultant spoke, "dr. X, had you read and understood the article you claim to have read, you would know that half of the patients in that study, died".

    one has to be Ob-C in manipulating the metal nose piece to close that gap.
    "mind the gap."
    Yes, no matter how I adjust my face mask, it always tends to fog my eyeglasses whenever I exhale. That's why I cannot wear face mask when driving.

    i'd do it without flying pressurized cabin.
    not in these pandemic days and no vaccine available.
    I am just saying there should be no fear in flying.

    i can do that.
    i don't think i'd be candidate for leg vein thrombosis.
    that is, if i had to fly.
    I specified the need to walk during longhaul flights.

    Not surprising, since sinulog pa nag start community transmission dyan, cover-up, wanting to protect the tourism industry yan kinalabasan. Maraming deaths dyan in February na tagged as pneumonia pero puro may covid19 symtoms, pag pinost mo sa FB kakasuhan ka. Kaya nung i-announce yung March 15 lockdown, instead of returning to Cebu, pinaluwas ko sa Manila mga anak ko. Tapos ngayon mag iinarte na ayaw magpapasok ng domestic flights. Kung may mass testing sila agad in January baka sa Cebu ang domestic patient 0. At the time of siunulog close ang Manila airports due to Taal eruption.

    you mean,
    they intentionally covered it up because it was bad for business?

    hindi kaya,
    they did not know it was covid 19...?...
    that they thought it was just a run-of-the-mill pulmunya o trangkaso?
    ...that we are seeing more clearly now because we have excellent 20-20 hindsight?

    Maybe that’s what China also thought about in their first outbreak in Wuhan?

    Hinde eh sinabi na nun doctor na namatay din na it's a different virus. Ophthalmologist yata siya na doctor. Yun intimidate ng mga police para hinde magsalita.

    At first they were not aware, but when WHO releases its first prognosis of the wuhan virus, around early February, they simply figured it out that their pneumonia patients are actually covid19 cases. They couldn't prove it because they have no access to test kits. It was extensively shared in FB but later suppressed by a female wannabe alpha threatening legal moves against FB users posting/sharing those covid19 posts. Those baranggays that are covid19 hotspots in Cebu are the baraggays that are at and near the places tourists frequented and center of activities during the Sinulog festival.

    Isa din ang Taiwan sa naging whistle blower ng wuhan virus.

    Bukod sa meron na talaga silang procedure in place for pandemic eh wala silang tiwala sa China and blessing in disguise na hinde sila member ng WHO.

    So walang kwenta talaga WHO.

    Sinovac vaccine to conduct final test in Brazil

    Brazil to produce Chinese coronavirus vaccine: officials

    Sao Paulo governor Joao Doria told a news conference that the Butantan Institute, Brazil's leading research center, had reached a technology transfer agreement with Sinovac Biotech.

    "The studies show that the vaccine could be distributed by June 2021," if tests prove conclusive, Doria said.

    "This agreement would allow us to produce at large scale and immunize millions of Brazilians."

    Sinovac Biotech, one of four Chinese laboratories authorized to conduct clinical vaccine trials, said a month ago that it was prepared to produce 100 million doses of the vaccine under the commercial name Coronavac.

    In Sao Paulo, 9,000 volunteers will be injected with doses of that vaccine beginning in mid-July, in the third and final phase of testing.

    maintain the status quo.
