In Japan, there is no lockdown. Everything is by request...





Tokyo confirms 247 new coronavirus cases

the japanese are a law-abiding people.
what other peoples can not accomplish thru strong arm of the law,
they can easily accomplish via requests from the leaders.

best case scenario 1 or 2 western vaccines are approved in Q4

then it will take months (at best) to get the actual vaccine

US should have four coronavirus vaccines in Phase 3 by mid-September

from the article:

Each Phase 3 clinical trial will enroll 30,000 volunteers; the two now underway are about halfway there, he said.

2 underway are Moderna and Pfizer/BioNtech

first vaccine may be approved between Oct to Dec

No doses of candidate vaccines can be distributed until the FDA declares them safe and effective. The first such approval could come as early as October, Mango said, though December is more likely depending on how quickly clinical trials can be completed.

then there's the question of manufacturing and distribution

at first, the vaccine will be available only to certains groups

At least at first, there will be a limited number of vaccine doses to distribute, Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said. Certain groups of people will be targeted for vaccination first, such as the elderly or health care workers.

says they're already manufacturing

Companies are already manufacturing three of the six candidate vaccines Operation Warp Speed has funded.

distribution...

"complex logistical task"

The government is planning how it will distribute whichever vaccines are eventually approved, a complex logistical task, Mango said.

US palang yan

priority nila domestic

ibang usapan ang export

May katapat na ang pinagyayabang ni kags na lianhua.

Lagundi trial gets green light, virgin coconut oil seen to reduce risk of coronavirus

the headline is misleading.
the plant is being studied for its possible efficacy in alleviating the symptoms of covid.
fever, cough, and all that.
just like lianhua, it is not seen as a preventive drug nor curative drug, for covid.

Surviving Covid-19: A pandemic fighter's tale | Philippine News Agency

While now out of danger as far as his health is concerned, the DILG chief said the realization of dying from Covid-19 struck him while recovering in the hospital.

"Eto nagpapalakas pa ako, recovering. Medyo mabigat tong tumama sa akin muntik na ako mawala sa mundo dahil sa (I'm recuperating. I'm recovering. What struck me now is a bit heavy especially when I think I almost died due to) Covid-19," he said in a phone interview with the Philippine News Agency on Friday.

While thanking God for having strong lungs, the DILG chief recounted seeing other patients far younger than him in the Covid-19 ward with deteriorating conditions as their bodies' oxygen levels fell beyond critical.

"What is important in fighting Covid-19 is that you have a good and strong immune system. I felt that my body almost collapsed because I felt symptoms simultaneously," he added.

These symptoms, he said, include coughing, fever, tiredness, and diarrhea.

Once he fully recovers, Año said he intends to reduce his exposure to lessen his chances of re-infection.

How long does it take for hand sanitizer to kill germs?
Dendy Engelman, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon in New York, calls the wait time “a pretty quick process.” The CDC recommends rubbing your hands together for about 20 seconds after you apply hand sanitizer, allowing the formula to completely dry. The dry time is critical to increasing the efficacy of your hand sanitizer, according to the pros.

Best hand sanitizers meeting CDC guidance, according to doctors
