To add to the dream. Are there any where near adequate freezer facilities to handle Pfizer and Moderna vaccines? The bravado beggars belief.

Re: NCR llockdown
New cases announced yesterday fell to below 1,000 at 984. Held over were 21 cases. Three labs late, 2 non operational. Positivity again at 2.8%. Numbers of people tested 35.9k. Only 22.8k in preparation.
Recoveries 2.2k Deaths 218 including 169 RDs Active 19,798 Severe 2,633, down 10, Critical 1,109, down 52 A downward trend seems to be established. NCR ICU 31%, unchanged. National 32%, up 1% Regional data: NCR 168 Cag 142 4A 106 IL 90 CL 69 CV 68 All regions with fewer cases. The NCR with over 250 less and only 17.0% of all cases. Cagayan with almost 70 less. 4A with about 250 less, giving the top 3 regions 42.3% of all cases, down. The top 6 regions with 65.3% of all cases, also down. Covid deaths: https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/tops..._picks&order=4 Of course, given the slow roll out! More on deaths from the normally quiet Health Secretary: https://www.msn.com/en-ph/news/natio...G?ocid=BingHPC An attempt to distract from the poor deaths record here using a selection of the highest case number countries, who have not distinguished themselves in the war against covid-19. With older populations..... the European populations much older. Then the greater under reporting here, at least compared with the European countries. The high numbers of cases daily revised from recovered to died, something not seen in the European countries cited. I can't find any specific report so I assume this media release was just cherry picked from a very detailed deaths report from "Our world in data": https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths Look through, click on the maps and you will see the Philippines has not got a good record, especially as of late.

Re: NCR llockdown
More than 150 cases added over the day before at 1,153. The backlog included was about half, at 565. Eight labs late, 2 remain non operational. No information from the DOH on their significance. Positivity 2.3% on 25.6k tests. A higher 29.7k test results on the way.
Recoveries 2.2k Deaths 195, 170 RDs. Active 18,721 Severe 2,584, down 49. Critical 1,086, down 23 Falls continue. NCR ICU 31%. National 32%, Both unchanged. Regional data: NCR 314 4A 128 IL 114 CL 102 WV 89 Cag 84 Eleven regions with more cases, 6 with less. The NCR with about 150 more cases at a higher 27.2% of all cases. There were modest increases in regions 4A and IL resulting in these top 3 regions having 48.2% of cases, up. In the top 6 the CL and WV regions also had modest increases, while Cagayan reported 58 less than the day before. The top 6 regions with 72.1% of all cases, also up.

Re: NCR llockdown

Two weeks ago there was someone in Zamboanga who was given two vaccinations at one visit to a centre. Risk of more issues with the large numbers, target pressure and inexperienced staff.

Re: NCR llockdown
Yesterday the DOH announced 85 more cases at 975 but 116 positives were held over. Three labs late to submit. Positivity 2.8% from 39k tests. About the same number under preparation.
Recoveries 1k Deaths 193, 181 of them RDs. The number of these ridiculous recoveries re-designated as deaths seems to be increasing. You would think that this data issue would have been dealt with by now, but it seems to be getting worse. By the way, when the ABS-CBN and GMA report on these RDs they often say "at least"! Active 17,796 Severe 2,563, down 9 and Critical 1,068, down 4 NCR ICU 29%, unchanged. National 30%, down 1% Regional data: NCR 187 4A 164 CV 93 WV 69 Zam 68 Bic 55 Most regions had a few more cases but the NCR reported nearly 50 less and a lower 19.2% of all cases.

Zamboanga had 38 more and the top 6 regions had 65.2% of cases, also down. https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/tops...story/?just_in Last minute recruitment of staff to help vaccinators over the 3 day push is Ok, but concerning for vaccinators themselves.

Re: NCR llockdown
Yesterday 899 new cases announced. A small number from backlog. Two labs late. Positivity slightly lower at 2.4% from 37.2k tests. Tests coming along 34.1k.
Recoveries 1.7k Deaths 188 including 156 RDs. Active 17,052 Severe 2,558, up 23. Critical 1,074, down 15 NCR ICU 26%, down 3%. National 27%, down 2% NCR ICU use fallen by 6% in a week. Regional data: NCR 161 Zam 120 4A 111 Cag 76 WV 70 CV 60 There were generally small changes yesterday in regional case numbers. The NCR had a few less cases and a low 17.9% of all cases. Zamboanga had 48 more to unusually come second. Region 4A reported 24 more and these top 3 regions had 43.6% of all cases, up. WV had 16 more over the day before.

The 3 day vaccination drive target lowered by 40%! https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/11/27/...ringe-shortage If you read the article not just due to the syringe shortage. Weekly update later today. |
Re: NCR llockdown
Weekly update:
The Philippines reported 29% less new cases last week compared to the week before. A slight slowdown in the rate of case reduction from last week's 35%. A majority of regions had a reduction in new cases, Those with more than a 50% % fall were: BARMM Davao E Visayas Bicol NCR W Visayas CAR Five regions went into reverse with a high % increase: Calabarzon C Luzon N Mindanao Ilocos SOCCSKSARGEN Zamboanga had a 1% new case increase. Note on Central Visayas: There might have been a large downward adjustment in that region's data over the last week as by my figures it actually showed a fall in total cases. Otherwise it is a transcription error on my part from the DOH website to my notebook. Whatever the reason I can't go back and check, so I can't say what happened last week to CV. It had a 36% fall the week before on the previous week. For NCR cities: Cities with the largest falls (over 40%) were, in decreasing order: Malabon Manila Marikina Pasay QC had a 10% fall, Caloocan 1% only. Two cities had large increases, over 100%: Taguig Las Pinas Like the C Visayas region the Pasig and Makati figures were also showing a fall in total cases. Again, could have been my error or a downward adjustment by the DOH. Since the number of new cases are now low DOH adjustments, which are routine, now show up more as they can be greater than the additions in new cases. All the provinces I am tracking around the NCR except one showed an increase in new cases: Rizal 225% Batangas 136 Pangasinan 104 Bulacan 99 Laguna 44 Pampanga 38 Cavite 33 Bataan 14 Quezon's fell by 14% Cities: Bacolod -36% Baguio -54 (Alert Level 3) CDO -53 Cebu a nine fold increase! Cotabato +40 Davao -64 GenSan -40 Iligan increase only from 0 to 5 new cases. IloIlo -67 Tacloban: seems to have been subject to downward adjustment Zamboanga +16 (AL 3) Other areas: Catanduanes -71% (AL 4) Mountain Province -81 (AL 3) Siquijor -77 (AL 3) So overall in the country case falls continue at a fast rate but with some exceptions in a few NCR cities and nearly all the populated provinces around the capital. Somewhat patchy in the NCR but suggesting the opening up, increased travelling and preparations for the holiday season are increasing virus transmission in these areas especially. |
Re: NCR llockdown
About 60 fewer cases announced yesterday at 838 new cases, a small backlog included. No late lab submissions. A 2.4% positivity from 34.2k tests, with a similar number in preparation.
Recoveries 1.2k Deaths 156, 117 RDs Active 16,630 https://www.msn.com/en-ph/news/natio...Y?ocid=BingHPC The OCTA group questioning the active case numbers. I think a good number of those early active cases unfortunately ended up as recovery deaths. The OCTA group should investigate them. Severe 2,528, down 30. Critical 1,081, up 7. NCR ICU 27%, up 1%. National 27%, unchanged. Regional data: NCR 161 4A 80 Cag 76 CV 75 WV 52 Zam 51 Probably just a coincidence, but 5 regions reporting exactly the same number as the day before. Including the NCR, which had 19.2% of total cases. Small changes elsewhere, with 7 regions having more cases, 5 with less than the day before. Top 3 regions 37.8% of all cases, down Top 6 with 59.0%, also down. Government considering the return of face shields: https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/11/28/...due-to-omicron We've kept ours because I thought they might come back. For the people who keep pushing them its become almost a religious belief ie one not based on evidence. High mask wearing, the young population plus other restrictions well adhered to by the people protected the Philippines from more serious damage from the Delta variant. Note the Health Secretary saying that anything that can protect people more is worthwhile. OK, so full PPE? Interesting to compare with the latest from the UK: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-59449480 Latest (Nov 27) Philippines vaccination numbers: Full vaccination: 35M First dose only 44.5M Their target 70M fully vaccinated. Between 32 and 40% (Johns Hopkins) of the population, depending on the population figure used. For other nearby Asian countries: Thailand 57.7% Malaysia 78.4% Indonesia 34.4% Vietnam 46.8% Regional data (from ABS-CBN, as of Nov 16): https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/british...8f5b8a1129.jpg Total doses. The NCR with the lion's share. Calabarzon, with about the same population has had about 40% less. See my post yesterday on its increased weekly case changes. |
Re: NCR llockdown
New cases about 170 less yesterday at 665. Backlog only 20. Three labs late and still 2 non operational. But the DOH estimate they would likely only account for a handful of cases. Positivity 2.1% from 32.6k tests. Only 23.6k in preparation.
Recoveries 1k Deaths 141, 129 RDs Active 16,289 Severe 2,541, up 13. Critical 1,075, down 6 NCR ICU, National %. Both unchanged at 27%. Regional data: NCR 164 Cag 74 4A 74 WV 71 Zam 51 CL 44 Only 4 regions with more cases over the day before, 12 had less. The WV region reported 19 more. The NCR with a higher 24.7% of all cases. The top 3 regions 46.9% of all cases, the top 6 with 71.9%. Both up on the day before. https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/tops..._picks&order=2 They're not going to get near the 9M target. According to General Galvez, the "Vaccine Czar", they are concentrating on 6 regions: Calabarzon Central Luzon BARMM Bicol SOCCSKSARGEN Zamboanga Pen The first two with some renewed virus transmission. The last 4 with a low % of vaccinations so far. The Visayas not included but this Rappler news item reports the regional DOH there has been under pressure to increase vaccinations: https://www.rappler.com/nation/weste...d-19-vax-blitz Omicron variant: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/british...3a708a57d1.jpg Dr John does a good job comparing two different early SA reports on the Omicron variant. See "Omicron objectivity". |
Re: NCR llockdown
The usual depressed testing on Sunday giving a much lower 425 cases, though 88 positives were held over and 4 labs were late to submit. Positivity 2.1% from 24.4k tests. A higher 29.6k on the way.
Recoveries 0.9k Deaths 44, 40 RDs. Active: 15,800 Severe 2,528, down 13. Critical 1,074, down 1 NCR ICU 25%, down 2%. National 26%, down 1% Regional data; NCR 66 Cag 48 4A 46 CAR 38 CL 34 Zam 31 Only 3 regions had more cases, the rest with less. The NCR with nearly 100 less new cases and a low 15.5% of all cases. The top 3 regions at 37.6% of all cases, down. The CAR added 17. Top 6 regions with 61.9% of all cases, also down. Ilocos added 17 to report 30 cases. The NCR staying at AL 2 until at least Dec 13. One province at AL 3. The rest of the country at AL 2. They're preparing for AL 1, but restrictions not yet decided! What they do about Omicron will decide whether AL 1 is moved to. My guess is they won't. https://www.rappler.com/nation/metro...ber-1-15-2021/ |
Re: NCR llockdown
I would be very surprised if Omicron is not already here. Three of the origin countries including South Africa being on the green list and having three weks or more to circulate the world

Re: NCR llockdown
Could well be G. Given the poor monitoring here we won't know for months.
The BBC reporting Omicron found in Dutch samples taken before the earliest in S A. |
