MANILA - The Philippines on Friday reported 14,977 active cases, the first time in a year and a half it fell below 15,000, data from the Department of Health showed.
The last time that the number of active cases fell below 15,000 was on June 4, 2020 when the country recorded 14,996 active cases, according to the ABS-CBN Investigative and Research Group, citing DOH data adjusted for duplicate and reclassified cases. COVID-related deaths increased by 235, resulting in a total of 48,987 fatalities. This is the highest in 2 weeks or since Nov. 19 when 277 deaths were announced, according to the ABS-CBN IRG.Seventeen duplicates were removed from the total case count, including 13 recoveries, while 218 cases previously tagged as recuperations were reclassified as deaths after final validation, according to the DOH.
The positivity rate was at 1.8 percent, based on samples of 32,908 individuals on Dec. 1, Wednesday.
Wrong because some may have mild symptoms but complications that was brought by the virus are not entirely rare. Also, long covid is real even on those who have mild cases only.
No wonder the numbers are so skewed downward. They are probably only testing people that are badly symptomatic. This is worst than not tracing. This is playing Russian roulette. Probably also why they tried to force the face shield mandate… Omicron has mild symptoms.
No Karl, this is lying. The numbers are no longer comparable and the drop in the graph is a lie. You are lying to mislead people into taking risks they would otherwise not if they knew the truth. The deaths, Karl are on you.
_karlchua This isn't your regular flu. There's a reason why we have lockdowns in place, which is to prevent the virus from mutating into a stronger strain. Christ...
Sounds Chinese🤨
WHO na nga nagsasabi na its a world health concern, ito n nmn tayo... Minamaliit yun health issue.. Settled issues on health first, economy will follow..
Most Severe Cases started as Mild Symptoms. Karl Chua - May Doctor of Medicine Degree ka ba? Or you Passed the Physician Licensure Examination?
What kind of idiot would suggest this? Just because some people have mild cases doesn’t mean they can’t spread the disease. It would cause bigger outbreaks because it would lull people into a false sense of security that there are less sick people out there than there really are.
👏👏👏👏👏
pandadaya ng numero tatak bisaya, tatak duterte
Jusko tong si Karl Chua. Di ka public health expert. Keep that suggestion to yourself.
bakit tingin ba nitong Karl Chua na ito na sipon at ubo lang ang mild Covid? ma-expose ka nga lang dyan sa Pinas eh kelangan mo nang mag-self quarantine. doktor quack quack na rin ba ito?
Who will take care of the mildly sick daily wage earners that will be made to quarantine for 14 days and have no pay? What about those exposed/contact traced? Is the government willing to shell out ayuda for these people?
