reason why companies use rapid test coz it's cheaper and you get results in minutes

di kaya ng mga business (lalo small business) gumastos ng upwards of 5000 pesos per employee para sa PCR test

and besides, even if you test all your employees today and got negative results, nandun parin ung concern na pwede sila mahawa later

di mo naman pwede i-test araw araw

Wala pa bang available pooled PCR tests? Kahit groups of 5/10 malaking bawas na sa cost.

they're still proposing it

di ko alam kung meron na talaga

like can get an appointment right now for pool-testing your employees?

i dunno

Dumadami na kasi gumagamit ng RAT for initial screening, its biting sa projected income ng mga nagtayo ng PCR labs.

tulong nga sa mga PCR lab yan dahil lahat ng mga nag positive sa rapid test kailangan mag pa-swab

kung hindi dahil sa mga rapid test mas konte magiging candidate for swab

remember dati ang candidate for swab kailangan may symptoms, close contact, travel history

ngayon dami asymptomatic nag papa-swab dahil nag positibo sa rapid test

Yup, but imagine kung walang RAT edi pati yung mga negative ay magpa test din gamit ang PCR, edi mas malaking kita.

babalik ako dun sa gastos

di gagastos ang mga company ng tig-7000 per employee

[glenn_duke]

Meron din kikita ng 7000/employee.
At yan yung mga nagsasabi na wag kayo gumamit ng RAT.

Saw Joe Con's interview and pooled testing is going to be an initiative of theirs. Maybe a number cruncher can do the math and see if pooled testing can still help our limited PCR testing capacity. Sayang din kasi yung mga false positive sa rapid test na nagpapaswab.

6,352 positive cases today. Malapit na ma overtakan ang Indonesia.



Philippines logs record-high 6,352 new COVID-19 cases, total up to 112,593

But problem with rapid test is the accuracy. Like what happened to me im not sure how many percentage but I think its high positive rapid IgM but negative in swab. Our rapidtest was postponed due to mecq I was supposed to check on our rapid testkits.

pero meron parin nag positive sa rapid na nag positive sa swab

rapid test is a screening tool

cannot use it as a stand alone

kaya every 2 weeks ang rapid test -- mga nag negative 2 weeks ago baka wala pa antibodies

so keep testing baka lumabas ang antibodies

di naman pwede once lang tapos negative result mag celebrate

Of course not, kaya nga RAT (BOSON) ang ginagamit ko,
Ang point ko may mga private PCR lab owners ang mag lobby against RAT dahil it will reduce their potential income.

wala kasi mas accurate na test na mabilis at mura

New record ulit... aiming 200k by end of August. Yesterday was lower because fewer labs reported by the deadline...

sana meron gadget tulad ng temperature gun imbes na temperature it can detect the virus

[Deestone]

Based on the worldometer also we are the highest added new cases for today of all countries. Good job Philippines.

hindi naman dumadami ang tests performed right?

averaging around 20,000 tests per day parin

pero parami nang parami ang positive

it means madami na talaga may virus

Yep thats why we are on mecq now. I just find it ironic that our neighboring countries such as japan, korea etc.... they have much lower number of cases considering they have cold weather isn't it this type of virus thrive more in cold weather? and yet we have much more cases than them.
