Close contact and dining out linked to Covid spread

Increase in number of cases has been linked to:

    1.   Dining  out  (locally a scientist said eating together)   we do not wear masks while eating

    2.    College and university settings

Hence we should exercise caution:

   1.  When eating in or out

   2.  University and college setting -  face to face classes.  

Most of the number of infection that I saw was due to contact with known infected persons in the neighborhood, hospital, and workplace.  The problem is in public places like malls, buses, we do not know who are infected

So its better to stay at home, avoid close contact in crowded or closed spaces.  

Fasting during the Holy Week

Benefits of Fasting

We can practice fasting beginning today until  Saturday.  Fasting can be done for health and religious reasons.   

1.  Religious -  desayuno -  a form of penitence, sacrifice to remember the suffering of the Lord before and during the crucifixion.

Prayer and fasting

2.  Health  -  fasting will rest your digestive and endocrine system for sometime

Fasting need not mean prolonged hunger and starvation.   It can mean, as the Muslimd do during the Ramadan do this from sun up to sun down.  Avoid taking in solid foods.  You can just take liquid food:   water, juice or milk.   Only for twelve hours

Talo na ? hospital system sa coVid19; Give up na?

The President of the Philippine Hospital Association Dr. Jaime Almora,  today admitted that we have been overwhelmed by the virus.  Talo na.

While this is the reality, this douses cold water on the hopes on the nation that we shall overcome and fight the disease.   We defeat the disease as one.   BAHO...

Let us recall the stirring words of late Pres. Kennedy as he urges the Americans to reach the moon before the decade of 1960 was over.

Why cant we say, we shall overcome covid19 not because it is easy but because it is hard.  -  that which demands every ounce of our strength and courage.    

Our leaders can say that now despite the mistakes of our public health leadership.

This is not the time:

    1.  For finger pointing

    2.  For politics

    3.  For health workers to quarrel for money

This is the time to think of the safety and health of our populace, to live and survive for another day.   

     WTF in the time of health crisis;  a deadly crisis.

Use of Ivermectin vs covid19

FDA and DOH have flagged down of Ivermectin vs covid19.   The drug is for family use and used vs heartworm  disease  In order for MDs to use this, they have to file for Compassionate Special Use.   The DOH and FDA have legal basis for saying no;   however some are arguing that the alternative covid medicine, Remdisivir is allowed because the company that owns it is allegedly connected to a government official  

The other sideto prove that Ivermectin in other countries work - may be anecdotal.

Stay away from crowds,   Take Vit C, D, hydrate.   Zinc.

9,838  covid cases recorded today.  Record breaking   way way up vs the 8,000 cases a few days ago.

What do these numbers mean to to you?  For many it is just a number.

For us we are scared.  In our town, barangay, 30 cases were reported in a bread factory and they had to close the street.  And there were no reported mass gatherings.  What more if there were congregation.?

 Two days ago we underwent a RT - PCR test, to the tune of P5,000 each home service 

because we are not in the priority of the municipal free swab test.   

There is no point quarrelling with the IATF or police or barangay PUSO who merely do not want you to get sick or spread the disease.   I would pray that the church leaders see the light on why they should obey the publich health official order.  The hospitals covid capacity are filled up, there is a shortage of supplies, and the vaccine we have could be stopped (because of blood clot risks)

Stay at home Stay safe.

Use of AstraZeneca vaccine suspended in Germany

The said vaccine use in Germany was suspended in Germany along with France, Italy and Spain.

It was alleged that the vaccine caused blood clots (which could be deadly)

Other countries which suspended use were Sweden Norway, Iceland  and Bulgaria

Astra Zeneca vaccine is one of the lowest priced vaccine in the world today

We note that there are reported deaths of health worker in San Mateo and health worker after she was vaccinated.  Cause for alarm for Astra Zeneca vaccine (we expect 40 m doses soon)

Bizarre traffic rules to combat covid19

Residents complain as Bucor closes road

In the one year period that we had the covid, this post wonders about some of the traffic rules formulated by the LGUs/and or the police.   

1.   No passing by the highways in some of municipality (or sometimes total closure of the municipality

      to outsiders.   

2.   Circuitous routes of traffic, one ways etc allegedly to help combat the spread of virus.

3.   The barricades, the concrete chb walls being erected in the middle of major thorough fare allegedly 

      to  stop the march of the virus;

      One can not help but to wonder the relevance of such moves and effectiveness vs covid19

As if the virus is a march of hordes of wild animals or insects that enter a territory.  But the virus is invisible and is spread by drop infection:  when people come together  in closed spaces for prolonged period of time that there is a virus load. within the airways and throat of the hosts.     

How can virus be spread in the 3 conditions mentioned above.?

The sad result is that such measures were not able to control  the surge of covid19 cases.   

The leftists and critics are right - the enforcers and the frontliners should understand the science of this pandemic rather than blindly following orders and or formulating ones that have no scientific basis.  

Surge in number of cases and infection amidst the family gatherings is very scary

Before, covid19 was just a third party conversation:   the rest of the town, country and most of us are pretty much uninvolved and concerned. 

However things changed much during the 2nd week of March.  Little did we know that we could be involved, or nearly infected   We held a wake for a deceased relative and little did we know that one of the  visitors during the first day of the wake, March 16 (and he too probably) was positive.  Well he knew of that only last Sunday  (March 21, 2021)   Although we did not have first handtier contact with him, we did huddle with the persons with whom he conversed.

So we had to do a lot of contract traicng and advised other relatives and visitors during the wake to 1.  go on self quantine,  2.  undergo antigen or the RT PCR testing.

We had this test yesterday and cost us a hefty sum to have this RT PCR testing.

We ought to be responsible during this pandemic to help prevent the virus spread:

1.  Follow the rules;;

2.  Stay at home

3.  Wear masks and face shield

4.  Be responsible enough not to mingle with others if you feel you have the virus

Mulberry trees abound in our yard.  -  front and side of the house.  This was supposed  to be a fodder for rabbits.   I read many posts in a social media and a 3 feet plantita cost about P600.00 even at a e commerce platform.  The roadside vendors price this at P450.00.

What makes this tree so expensive?   I guess  because of the the benefits you derive from the tree

Benefits from Mulberry tree

1. Boosts  immunity

Hot Springs in Japan -  Onsen

The fountain of youth in Japan is hot spring soaking.   It clears the skin and removes the blocks within the body that causes it to be sick.  While oxidation corrodes the body, hot spring soaking counter acts this.  

Being in a volcanic belt, Japan has about 27,000 onsen.   (We too being ringed with volcanoes certainly abound with hot springs.   From Laguna to Batangas, Davao, and Leyte.   We too have plenty of beaches, where our elderly can feel the hot sand and  bathe in clear waters.

Obey the IATF guidelines to arrest the surge in number of cases.

The number of cases surged to 8,000+ this second week of March, 2021.   The number of cases which were kept under leash,  of suddenly went wild.  

This could be attributed to:

    1.  Variants;

    2.   Laxity and fatigue due to long enforcement of rules vs  covid 19

This post realized that really we have no choice except to obey.   Let us take the case of holding wake

at funeral services.

We had limited number of guests.  However, as of Sunday, 3 21. 2021 one of the guests was confirmed to be positive.   While this post had no direct contact with the said guest, this post had contacts with whom he was in contact with last 3.16,2021 (500 years after arrival of Magellan in the Philippines hahaha) it was very possible that there was secondary (community infection)  

Just to preclude the possibility of infection we had a RT PCR test that cost us at least P5,000 each plus P1,500 service fee.   

So let us all be careful.  Obey IATF resolution No 104.  No time for debates and philosophizing and debates.  BUHAY or DEBATE.

Let us rather admire the authorities who want to make sure the spread of covid19 stops.
