China Corona Virus Outbreak

[111prez]

no vaccine is a requirement in the country. it is all optional.
but if one goes to another country, that other country may require certain vaccinations before entry.

Tama ito. For example, those going to Africa are required to get a yellow fever.

Process though is quick and relatively painless

billionaire philanthropist bill gates upbeat on the efficacy of vaccines. curiously, he makes no mention of chinese nor russian vectors of immunization.

Already, vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna have shown to be effective in early company data, and Gates said he expects vaccines from AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson and Novavax to have similar success soon.

"You want to make sure that you don't waste any of this vaccine, but in a slightly imperfect way, I do think the logistics will get solved," he said. "I think that there will be enough people who jump in early on, that people see even more evidence of the safety, and that over time, we will get to that 70% plus level that we need in order to stop the spread of the disease."

why advertise the competition?

i am reminded of abscbn.
they screen their news pieces.
they zzzzzzzzzzz names of institutions and businesses in their news bits, sometimes to the point of near-uselessness for the audience.

for example,
"...may sunog po sa isang mall sa edsa..."
there are at least three malls in that segment of edsa. how can i now know if the one i am going to, is the burning one...?

OT.

grabe ang western bias dito

dahil hindi lang binanggit si gates ang russia and china vaccine ibig sabihin di na effective

konting basa lang the russian vaccine uses adenovirus to deliver the SARSCOV2 spike gene -- same as Oxford

pagkaiba lang they use different adenoviruses

Russia uses human adenoviruses Ad5 and Ad26

Oxford uses chimpanzee adenovirus

[uls]

China vaccines use the oldest method for making vaccines -- using inactivated whole virus

that has been done for ages

lahat ng childhood vaccines natin ganyan

sorry I meant it it included in the standard vaccines they give to babies? (for parents who choose to vaccinate)

No need to be deep freezed and is far cheaper... And will be mass produce in India.


AstraZeneca, Oxford COVID-19 vaccine up to 90% effective - Los Angeles Times

Oxford University and drugmaker AstraZeneca say that late-stage trials of their COVID-19 vaccine show it to be up to 90% effective in preventing the disease.
The trials looked at two different dosing regimens. A half-dose of the vaccine followed by a full dose at least one month later was 90% effective, researchers reported Monday. A second regimen using two full doses one month apart was 62% effective.

The combined results showed an average efficacy rate of 70%.

The results are based on an interim analysis of trials in Britain and Brazil of the vaccine, which is being developed by Oxford University and manufactured by AstraZeneca. No hospitalizations or severe cases of COVID-19 were reported in those receiving the vaccine, AstraZeneca said.

VK Paul, the chair of the National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration for COVID-19, stated that India may approve the emergency use of the vaccine once it gets a nod from the UK. The Company has plans to manufacture 3 billion doses of the vaccine in 2021 on a rolling basis, pending regulatory approval.

And, when it comes to India, the edge that the Oxford COVID-19 vaccine has over others is that it can survive in warmer temperatures. And, it's estimated to be much cheaper as well.
According to the Director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Randeep Guleria, the Pfizer vaccine’s requirement of a lower storage temperature is something that India’s cold storage infrastructure may not be able to support for the population of 1.3 billion.

In comparison to Pfizer, which needs temperatures of minus 70 degrees Celsius to survive, the Oxford COVID-19 vaccine will remain stable at normal refrigerated temperatures of between two to eight degrees Celsius, which makes both storage and transportation much easier.

Tumpak!

If Japan produced a vaccine, I would trust it
If Taiwan produced a vaccine, I would trust it.
If Singapore produced a vaccine, I would trust it.

COVID Survivors May Develop Mental Illness Later

The research team analyzed electronic health records for 69 million people in the U.S., including more than 62,000 cases of COVID-19 between January and July. During the 3 months after testing positive for the coronavirus, 1 in 5 people had a diagnosis of a mental illness, and among those, 6% had a first-time diagnosis.

Anxiety, depression and insomnia were the most common diagnoses, and they were twice as likely among COVID-19 patients. Patients who were hospitalized for COVID-19 faced a higher risk for mental illness as well.

“This is likely due to a combination of the psychological stressors associated with this particular pandemic and the physical effects of the illness,” Michael Bloomfield, a psychiatrist at University College London, told Reuters.

In addition, people who already had a mental illness were 65% more likely to be diagnosed with COVID-19 than those who didn’t already have one. Those with psychiatric disorders are more likely to have underlying conditions, such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes, and live in conditions that lead to greater exposure to respiratory viruses.

it's just like cars.
some folks still can not believe that toyota is capable of building defective cars,
and that hyundai's cars are forever behind the japanese by at least ten years...

past reputations are hard to live down.

The Oxford vaccine is good enough for me

doc,

in the flashlight world..... bibili ka ba ng made in usa ngayon? or china?

Who is the world leader in flashlight making for the last 10years?

nagbabago lahat.

Example emergency wala kuryente at wala ka din nakaready na solar. Im using a keychain light that can tailstand - battery 1aaa good for 24hours nonstop. No kandlila no sunog. So if you have 5 to 10 ganyan lights eh maliwanag na bahay. And yung led bulb last 50,000 to 100,000hours. Cost 400 to 800pesos each.

OT

Companies with well-known brands capitalize on their branding to charge customers higher

they outsource production to low cost contract manufacturers = large profit margin

i will buy china.
they're cheap.
if one malfunctions, i can always buy a dozen more, to throw away once the unit malfunctions.
i can keep two in the car. kahit china pa yan, what are the chances that both will malfunction at the same time?

the last flashlight i purchased cost me 88 kesos from daiso. it's an LED model, uses two AA cells, and throws a very bright light.
magkano ba ang made-in-usa maglite ngayon?

same with screwdrivers.
i will happily purchase 150-peso chinese screwdrivers, for home use and light workshop and automotive use.

but when it comes to wretches,
i prefer the expensive made-in-usa ones. under heavy use, they will, i am sure, prove their worth.
weak wretches kasi, will destroy not only themselves, but, kung mamalasin, also the expensive heavy-duty nuts and bolts in the car.

If Philippines produce vaccine, I would pahid it on my skin. Because surely gawa sa VCO yan or lagundi. [emoji23]

daihatsu wigo

i still remember that i can buy two wigos for the price of one innova.
it was the reason why i bought the wigo in the first place.
i reasoned, if i was not happy with the wigo, i could sell it and go back and purchase the innova. the additional cost i shall attribute to the cost of automotive education.

is the wigo marupok?
i don't know...
mine has been with me for 50K km and six years now...
matibay naman for everyday use.
the only problem i had with her was the alternator. it was easily fixed by yock's.
and the champiro tires. na-oblong. but that's not really the wigo's fault, now, is it?

[kagalingan]

^
walandyo doc!!! Umaabot ka dito kay yocks????? Magalng yung mga tao nya mag-ayos ng alternator. Yung civic VTI ko dati sila gumawa nagrewire.

puro motolite benta nya. Eh ako panasonic and some china brands battery.

alam mo doc may itsura yugn anak ni yocks.
