Independent research group OCTA said on Wednesday, Jan. 5, that coronavirus disease cases in Metro Manila as well as Calabarzon may start to go down in the middle of the month and towards the end of it if the same trajectory as South Africa would be observed.
But OCTA Research Fellow Dr. Guido David said in an interview on CNN Philippines that at this point there’s a lot of uncertainty and variability. He shared that in South Africa, the surge in COVID-19 cases started late November but has already started to decrease by the first week of January. David said that this occurrence actually surprised a lot of experts worldwide, considering how fast the cases rose, and how fast it fell.
Meanwhile, cases continue to increase rapidly and OCTA projected cases for Wednesday, Jan. 5, to soar to as high as 10,000 to 11,000 cases with 8,000 of it coming from Metro Manila, higher from the recorded number on Tuesday which was just more than 3,000.
Curious, What was the main factor in South Africa that contributed to the fast decrease of cases?

Octurd is a FRKINFS IDIOT GROUP. Octurd is NOT a medical research group. Mga gagong EPAL lang silang lahat. The WHO does not make these kind of statements. But Octurd dahil nga puta lang at gago. Sige lang magsabi na ganito.
