Well what can I say frens. Corrupt govt. here just invited a WHO advisor to come and stay for a month, to 'assess' the situation in Philippines on the ground, and to 'recommend' a strategy moving forward. We are fucked. They are already talking about two years of lockdowns, coincidentally '22 is an election year.
As we see elsewhere, the hysteria is always how many 'cases'. They just started mass testing….and now they have a spike in cases….what a shocker. Never mind the fact there are still only 13K deaths, a 1% CFR. Never mind we have at least 5x the number of flu / pneumonia deaths every year. No, what matters is, we need our free Sinovac (Chinese), and lets keep everyone away from the beaches where they might actually recover from their latest ailment.
Overall this is a healthy country. We eat a lot of locally grown non-GMO food, and we have plenty of fresh air and sunshine (OK, not in Manila, but elsewhere). People are scared to death to go to the hospital, rightly so, because they don't want to get tested and they would rather just home medicate. Who can blame them. We even have a Covid baby-boom of 1.4 million new babies, just not enough common sense to kick the WHO out of the country and elect leaders with a brain.
