[MEGATHREAD] Pilipinas Coronavirus/COVID-19 Thread

[Mometaskers]

Sumilip lang uli dito para malaman kung kamusta na mga Filipino members. Meron ba kayong mga kilala ng personal na nainfect?

Talk about "comfortable" thingy... Have you guys seen this news?

This Sunday lang 'yan sa may Roxas Boulevard. Look, kung gaano sila ka-comfortable sa ganiyan. Akala mo piyesta or na sa dating Divisoria ka lang  . Literally atat makakuha ng mga litrato ng Manila Bay para may mai-post sa mga Social Media nila eh. Dibale na ata mawalan ng panlasa't pang-amoy, damn.

IMHO quite dumb of people to just go there like there's no pandemic and quite irresponsible of the police to let people build up like that. We're hitting the high 3Ks daily and then magsiksikan pa ng ganyan.

Virgin Coconut oil for Covid treatment? yeah, you heard that correctly. well, according to the article(quoted below) researchers in the Philippines sees Virgin coconut oil as a potential covid treatment since their research shows that Virgin coconut oil(VCO)  "decreased coronavirus count by 60 to 90 percent at low viral load." and "Researchers also discovered that the compounds were observed to improve cell survival.". according to them. further research, test and experiments are still needed whether higher concentration would lead to better results.

I am glad that researchers are finding a natural remedy that is abundant in the Philippines as a possible treatment for covid-19. I just hope their research ends up as a huge breakthrough to fight covid-19 here in the Philippines.

Sa pagkakaalam ko ay matagal na itong napag-usapan ang tungkol dito sa Virgin Coconut Oil na pwede raw maging gamot sa COVID-19 pero until this time wala pang breakthrough sa pag-aaral na yan.

Ewan ko lang dyan sa NCR pero dito sa Central Visayas particularly sa Cebu ay hindi na masyadong mataas ang kaso ng COVID-19 at sa katunayan ay babalik na ang turismo dito. Sabi ng ilan, magkakaroon daw ng "herd immunity" kaya may proteksyon na yong hindi pa nahahawaan.

Pero dito sa lugar ko, may bulong-bulongan na magbubukas na yong cockpit arena sa lingo which is for me a gauge on where we are now in terms of COVID-19 transmission.

I remember that too. but at that time they were only testing it because of the antiviral properties of the virgin coconut oil have but now, they have positive results from the tests they have conducted all these months.

we are also seeing a drop of cases here in my area(even though a lot of people are not following proper protocols).

Sabi ng ilan, magkakaroon daw ng "herd immunity" kaya may proteksyon na yong hindi pa nahahawaan.

just read an article about it. very interesting. but the DOH still advises following health protocols to "prevent the transmission of the virus and at the same time protect us from getting sick"

I like the positive news, though there's no vaccine yet but we have alternatives. Of course I heard that this one is also a cure to covid-19, however, our experts does not promote that as they all want a medicine coming from the big pharmaceuticals, and the fact na maraming complains regarding covid-19 fraud, I think that destroys the reputation of the doctors a bit, you know the Phil Health scam is still fresh in the minds of the people.

I like Duterte but gotta say this covid thing has been run very poorly in the Philippines. An already precarious economy has been absolutely REKT, middle / low income class in particular - let alone tourism and hotels.

What source are you reading? The mainstream media of those opposition bloggers?

Since if you keep seeking information on them for sure you will get a misleading info's but if you watch ptv news for sure you will get the information on what government actions made.

Philippines is not rich country but the president really doing it's best to fight and possibly end up this pandemic it's just the only thing government can do for now since there's no vaccine yet is to lessen the casualty and infected person.

Also if we talk about economy the government already slowly opening up the tourism industry and I see some promotion of certain spots in the Philippines.

Meron ba dito nakakaalam kung may libreng swab testing pa? or lahat may bayad na? Salamat.

here's what I found about free swab test https://www.manilatimes.net/2020/10/26/news/top-stories/fabella-personnel-offered-free-swab-tests/786210/. but other than this I know nothing more. here near in my area, free swabs test has stopped but I am not sure about the neighbouring area. there was a news that the government will pay its debt to red cross. I guess free swabs test will be available soon in a lot of areas again

un nga din ang balita ko pinatigil daw muna sa red cross, kaya sa nga private hospitals magbbyad pra lang sa swab test, langya libo ang gagastusin para lang dun tapos ang treatment sayo din.
ilalockdown ko n lang siguro sarili ko for 1 month, sa treatment n lng ako gagastos

too much corruption sa loob ng PhilHealth kaya di nakakabayad ang PhilHealth sa red cross. kaya nga eh. kaya minsan nakakatakot pa rin lumabas kahit na sobrang maingat ka kasi bukod sa mahal ang bayad sa treatment at may chance kang mamatay sa sakit. meron pang mga tao na di marunong mag ingat at madadamay ka pa sa kapabayaan nila.

naka 50-50 kasi ako gawa din ng asawa ko, yung kawork nya eh hindi pa din sigurado at aantayin pa ang swab result... tapos bukas pa ang sched ng asawa ko para sa swab, kaya sa malamang kung sakali kakailanganin ko din magpaswab, pero yun nga kung dumating man yung worst scenario eh magkukulong na lang ako sa bahay hindi na ako magpapaswab. kumpleto na naman ako ng gamot dito pati antibiotics. magtatanong na lang ako sa kakilala kong doctor.

Pero sana milagro pa rin na hindi sila mahawaan, ung gastos kasi talaga ang magiging concern dito sa covid hnd yung treatment.

I'm sorry to hear that. alam ko na di tayo magkakilala pero let's just hope for the best outcome.

May nabasa ako article a few days ago regarding sa saliva test. Sabi sa article ay mas mura at mas mabilis daw un kesa sa swab test. Kung kailanagn mo talaga mag pa test. check mo yung possibility ng saliva test.

Sorry to hear about your situation paps. Napagdadaanan ko ring yang mga quarantine na yan dahil din may katrabaho yong misis ko na nag-positive tapos lahat ng close contact nong nagpositive ay isinwab kasama na yong asawa ko buti nalang negative lahat ng resulta.

Sa sitwasyon mo paps, kung positive yong asawa mo sa swab (knock on wood) kailangan mo rin magpa-swab dahil close contact ka at kung positive ka sa virus pwede ka naman na mag-home quarantine, 14 days lang yon at pagkatapos ay considered recovered ka na.

Kailangan mo lang magpalakas ng katawan, uminom ng vitamins C, saktong tulog at exercise, yong ang ginawa ko at very effective naman siya sa akin. Huwag na huwag kang magpapatalo sa stress, kung kailangan mo ng kausap, tawagan mo pamilya mo, humingi ka ng advise sa kanila. Lilipas din yan lahat.

Sa pagkakaalam ko hindi covered ng red cross ang Free swab testing sa fabella hospital dahil Manila City government ang sumasagot nyan.
di ko lang sure kung applicable to sa lahat ng Pinoy pero priorities nila ang mamamayan ng Maynila.
and also ang alam ko last September eh nag declare si Mayor Isko ng Mass Swab testing for Free kasi down pa yong website di ko mapasok para maishare dito.

yun nga lang para lang yata sa manileno ang free swab, saklap lang taga rizal ako, wala pang kwenta mayor dito... medyo nakakaumay din kapag nagpaswab, dahil yun nga sa mahal mahal ng babayaran mo eh para lang yun malaman kung positive o negative ka, tapos ang treatment same pa rin naman at sagot mo pa rin. Kaya dapat talaga kung sagit din ng tao ang mga sarili nila dapat gawin na lang libre ang swab test.
