      Where? Could you show me it? What’s the point in just throwing some word out there and expecting people to believe you?

    So I here that in the US all patients are being classified as covid 19 for profit so are the US numbers accurate

    • muckerwood

      June 3, 2020 at 7:14 pm

      Not even close. You are correct. The numbers are WILDLY inaccurate due to profit. And in the U.S. they are also being used by those who hate our president to try put him in a bad light in any way possible. As if any of it would have to do with whoever is president at the time…

    Just a complete mess-up on the part of the federal government here in the USA.
    Health care workers are on one front of the disease. There any many many more people carrying out essential duties to keep our economy and society functioning with much less PPE, less education, and every bit as much risk. Stay safe/healthy everyone. Mental health is a secondary concern. We’re not past the main threat, yet.

    Davao City, Philippines.
    Only one hospital took care of the COVID-19 patients here in my city (the largest hospital in the Philippines).
    Our first cases (which is 2) was reported on the 21st of March, 5 days after the lockdown and we’re still under lockdown but our government just eases some restrictions this month but people below 21 and above 60 are still not allowed to go out and only selected shops are open but looks like our city Mayor is planning to imposed a total lockdown again soon.
    We currently have 307 positive cases, since the government started to ease some restrictions the number of people tested positive just like jump so high.
    By the way, our President, the father of our Mayor, said that he will not let students go back to school until a vaccine will be introduced but the Department of Education is starting to do some online enrolments and classes this August (which is 2-months late of when our school year really starts, June) but the problem is most public school students don’t have any access to the internet but the DepEd promised that they will provide modules, I actually don’t really care about this because I’m in private and my online class will start this July. Public school students here are even starting making some memes about DepEd and St. Peter’s collaboration (St. Peter is the most famous funeral homes here in the Philippines). Sorry about this being so long, I just want to share our situation here.

      I just googled it. Population of 1.6 million and only 307 confirmed cases sounds relatively well handled. What is the testing situation?

    • Jaycee Rich Empuerto

      June 4, 2020 at 4:24 am

      @Ryan Oliver Lack of testing kits. I don’t know why. There’s one time that the hospital don’t have testing kits left for like 3 days. And my village where the hospital was located is under ‘very high risks’ level. All villages here have their own lockdown. My village is the biggest in the city.

    In the UK there has been over 21 types or strains of CV19 virus identified,. Some die out quickly and some pass to the next host. Does this mean that the virus is not a stable virus and will mutate as shown in the Wuhan Lab?
    Is the very fast spread in Wuhan down to the over use of mobile phones in everyday commerce in china?
    Is the spread in the US cities connected to over use of credit cards in everyday commerce ?
    Was the CV19 misfortune caused by the 18 million passengers and repatuation flights let into the UK without any testing whatsoever ?
