Ang dami talaga maloloko sa headline kapag hindi nila binasa 'yong buong article. Pansin ko rin kanina, and upon checking 'yong comment section ni isa wala akong nakita nag-address doon sa "re-tagging" as recovered na ginawa ng DOH sa mga may mild at asymptomatic cases, ni hindi pa naman fully recovered  . Not tryin' to be a negative na lang sa lahat, pero parang minamadali nila e.

Take a look at this:

See? diba may mga bibilangin pang mga araw, and of course a bit of test if 'di na talaga sila carrier. And now here comes DOH tagging mild - asymptomatic cases as recovered, even though they aren't allowed to go outside yet, and mga naka isolate pa (quarantine). Ni hindi pa nga accurate 'yong bilang nung mga mayroong kaso sa 'tin, kasi wala pa rin mass testing, and now lalaruin pa nila 'yong number of recoveries. Damn, what's even real sa mga data natin ngayon?

Yan din ang iniisip ko eh. Pero upon checking yung thread sa twitter, nakita ko itong image mula sa isang reply. At ayon dito, after nila matapos ng mga mild at asymptomatic yung 14-days quarantine and isolation sa hotels ay considered na sila as recovered.



Ayon pa sa mga replies, hindi daw ata tinetest kung positive parin or hindi na before considering them as recovered. Kasi daw after ilang days daw ay mababa na yung chance na makainfect or makahawa pa ng virus sa iba. Hindi ako sure kung tama ba, pero eto yung nababasa ko sa thread sa twitter. Kung titignan parang ang risky ng ganitong pag implement kasi hindi naman sure kung safe na ba talaga itong mga mild at asymptomatic patients.

Apparently, it was because of late adoptation nila nung guidelines ni WHO.

Which is ito: detail/criteria-for-releasing-covid-19-patients-from-isolation

It was published last May 27 pa. And base rin sa mga nababasa kong comment, 'yong mga foreign countries, kaya mabilis rin 'yong count ng recoveries nila, dahil 'yon na 'yong finafollow nila na guidelines after ma-published. So, turns out na, mas mahigpit pa DOH sa mga ganitong bagay.

TL;DR lang nung laman nung article. It indicates lang, na hindi na highly contagious 'yong mga patients na (which they say resolved na 'yong case after reporting nung mga symptoms nila) so-called recovered.

Not tryin' to side with DOH or what  . Pero maganda lang rin na malaman side nila, why they came-up into this. And siguro, due to limited materials natin, and overloaded na hospitals and quarantine facilities, mapipilitan na talaga. Yep, risky inamin na rin naman ng WHO 'yon doon sa article.

Ang nakakalungkot lang nito ay imbis na tulungan ay sobrang binatikos ng ibang politiko ang DOH na para bang sila na lang ang may alam. Bakit kaya hindi nila hinayaan munang magpaliwag ang kalihim ng DOH bago batikosin sa social media. Para sa akin, sang-ayon ako sa bagong protocol na inilabas ng DOH para ideklara na recovered na yong patien kahit na wala ng test, makakatipid pa ito sa testing kit at magagamit ito sa ibang nangangailangan. Noong una, kailangan pa ng dalawang negative swab test result para i-declare ka na recovered which is very expensive on the government's side.

May magandang Solusyon naman kasi dyan, para lahat nakikinabang. Pwede tayong maglimit pero hindi sobra, eto bigyan ko kayo halimbawa:
-Lockdown :
+Bawal Lumabas, Isang Quarantine Pass Bawat Pamilya/Bahay
+Negosyo, Payagan ang maliliit o malalaki na Establisyimyento Pero limitadog empleyado (Shifting Schedules para sa mga Empleyado para lahat may sahod kahit kaunti)
+Trabaho, Limitadong Empleyado
+Big Companies, Form a Stable Team/Work Force
+Transportasyon, Shifting Schedules for Public Transpo, Private Vehicles - No Quarantine Pass No Travel.
+CheckPoints very Street
+Tourism- Pinoy lang Pwede Pumasok at Foreigner lang Pwede Lumabas ng bansa.
+Extended Grace Periods on Bills

-OA ang mga Pinoy, kaya hnd uubra ang wag lalabas dahil magrereklamo yan,... pero kung bibigyan mo yan ng kaunting luwag kahit papaano may solusyon sa parehong krisis; kalusigan at ekonomiya.

Government pa natin? Ganiyan naman lagi, they would always make something na magbe-benefit sa appearance nila  . Anyway, same thing with me, kahit naman kasi anong option ang ilatag nila, 'di na mawawala 'yong risk diyan, it is just that we're running out of space, and materials na rin. And if by guidelines ng WHO suggests na 'di na highly contagious 'yong dadaan sa process ng care path nila then good na rin siguro 'yon, although 'di naman nila explicitly sinabi na recovered  . Besides, pinagaralan rin naman nila nang maigi 'yan bago i-publish.

Recent news lang, I saw from ABS-CBN news page:
Source: https://news.abs-cbn.com/overseas/08/11/20/russia-has-developed-first-coronavirus-vaccine-putin

Yep, good news somehow. But there's more to it pa, kung babasahin maigi kasi parang ang bilis lang. Kamakailan ko lang yata sinabi 'yong potential vaccine nila dito, and now my announcement na sila.

So, apparently, 'di pa nag-a-undergo ng Phase 3 'tong vaccine nila or base sa mga nababasa ko is mag-i-start na rin naman sila nauna lang raw i-"register". And take note, it wasn't approved by WHO yet, it was all about their government. Not getting on their bad side, but bear in mind may mga incident na before from several vaccines na nagdulot ng side effect (not just a normal one though). But then again, yep... 'yong pag-de-develop nito was always been associated naman na sa risk, to begin with. Pero h'wag naman sana maging political interest 'to  . Marami rin kasi nagdududang health experts rito dahil nga ang bilis.

Don't get the wrong idea ah. Registered lang, and 'di pa pwede i-release sa market. Try to read this reply para mas malinaw sa inyo lahat.

Anyway, if everything went well sa side ng Russia. Looks like makararating sa Pinas 'tong product nila ng libre.
According dito:
Source: https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/news/nation/750696/duterte-says-russia-may-give-philippines-covid-19-vaccines-for-free/story/

So, sa ngayon, waiting game pa rin tayo. Pero atleast we're witnessing a progress na. We just hope na lang for their success at nang ma-i-release na 'to sa market. Same goes with non-russian vaccines, out there.

any update if you got your travel pass? there are rumours/talks about the government extending the MECQ since the infection rate per day hasn't come down since they implemented the MECQ a week ago.

I share the same sentiment

it's probably because it is still in clinical trial and (in my own opinion base on the response I see on the social media) maybe because of political views.

nakita nyo na ba yung bagong ulat ng DOH 40k na gumaling sa covid-19? (here's the link to an article if you are interested https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1112441)

reading through the article I wish DOH could elaborate more about this new "40k" new recoveries instead of saying that 39K+ of the new recoveries was "time-based" recoveries.

if anyone has seen a more detailed report about I'd appreciate if you shared the source.

---

the vaccine is to prevent someone from getting infected, I am not sure what effect the vaccine would have to those who are already infected by the virus.

I am residing in Manila and most of the news indicates a possible downgrade from MECQ but in a 'stricter' GCQ. Pero, may mga researchers na nagsasabing kung hanggang August 18 lamang ang MECQ, maaaring umangat sa 230,000 ang cases sa ating bansa.


we may look at this news: https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/news/nation/751614/metro-manila-mayors-want-stricter-gcq-says-mmda-exec/story/

With the recent increase sa recoveries kahit medyo kaduda duda, malamang ay hindi na mag extend ang MECQ since nag bigay naman na sila ng date from August 4 - 18 dala na din nung sinabi mo, kinukulang ang budget para suportahan ang bansa kung magpapatuloy pa ang MECQ.
