A doctor who strongly advocates ivermectin use to treat and prevent COVID-19 warned on Thursday that the Philippines had less than two months to prepare for the same high number of deaths and infections that India is experiencing. | PDMChiuINQ

The variant first identified in India, B.1.617, is not yet a variant of concern but is a variant under investigation, according to the World Health Organization .

He said the government should consider only giving vaccines to those in the National Capital Region and the four nearby provinces of Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal, but not for people aged 20 to 40 years old. “There is only one playbook. If in two months the variant from India makes it here, we will do the same. We will fight it off with the same science-based principle that has been effective in lowering cases following surges before,” he said.

The deaths and recoveries left 63,170 active cases. Of the total, 94.3 percent are mild, 1.9 percent asymptomatic, 1.2 percent critical, 1.6 percent severe and 1.03 percent moderate.

PDMChiuINQ Seriously, Inquirer? You're really going to ply this?

PDMChiuINQ Di ba sa India nanggagaling yung mga pumapasok ditong Ivermectin?

PDMChiuINQ All that debt and so little vaccines. Healthcare and meds that masses can’t afford. The lack of hospitals and the underpaid nurses. All the gaslighting aimed to disregard therapeutics. I have lost all confidence in their capacity to lead or provide guidance for this pandemic.

PDMChiuINQ Ahh di ba dapat vaccine ang sagot diyan, hindi vibermectin

PDMChiuINQ He wants disaster to hit our people so he can prove his point. God bless his heart!

PDMChiuINQ Insane this person in india they advocate use ivermectin as precaution of civid19 but now look how is india today bec they rely to ivermectin too much.

PDMChiuINQ why are you giving wackos media exposure? How much those snake oil salesmen pay to get interviewed?
