Live healthy and long

Is the country ready to declare fire out for Covid19?

The Philippines is currently seeking from the WHO if it can declare Covid19 over in the Philippines. It the positivity  rate  being 2.5% only.   However this post believe this is too early to declare based on a 11 day stats.  

1. Europe is an epicenter nd many Filipinos who live there might come home this Christmas;

2.  Only 40 million of the  110 million Filipinos have been vaccinated.  There is no herd immunity yet.

3.  Such declaration will cause many people to be complacent and infection can spread again  

As per WHO positivity rare should be lower than 5%.   Our positivity rate for the last 10 days is as follows:   

• November 14 - 3.9%
• November 15 - 4.1%
• November 16 - 3.2%
• November 17 - 3.5%
• November 18 - 3.4%
• November 19 - 3.5%
• November 20 - 3.2%
• November 21 - 2.8%
• November 22 - 2.8%
• November 23 - 2.3%
• November 24 - 2.5%
