Some 4,000 COVID-19 deaths may be underreported in the Philippines, says former gov’t adviser

Watch more in iWant or TFC.tv MANILA - Around 4,000 deaths due to COVID-19 in the Philippines may not have been included in the government's official tally as many people severely ill with the disease have succumbed to it without actually getting tested, a former adviser of the task force against the pandemic said Sunday.

“At hindi na sila nare-record. Pero pag-Xray nila, the typical COVID-19 pneumonia ho iyon. Kaya lang hindi natin sila maire-report,” he added. The health department’s cumulative tally of COVID-19 fatalities stood at 2,039 on Saturday, Aug. 1, out of the country’s 98,232 confirmed cases of coronavirus infections.

Leachon said the Philippines has one of the fastest “acceleration” of reported cases of the disease in Southeast Asia, and is in fact the No. 1 in the number of active cases.

Sabi nga ni Roque “statistically” lang!!! So ano pa ba aasahan nyo! Parang yan na ata resulta ng ginawa ng gobyerno sa pagaabuso nila ng kapangyarihan lahat tayo nahihirapan! Nakakawa at ang sakit lang isipin na namatay sila ng ganun.😢

ANCALERTS I believe him. If we could compare mortalities of the past few years for the pertinent time periods you would surely see a spike, mos of which would likely not have been attributed to covid .

ZedDee4 Nakakalungkot yung di na nalunasan sa sobrang tagal ng result pero yung mga a-attend ng SONA, 24hours lang may result na. Urgent? 🤦‍♀️ Priorities kasi ng government eh. 😔😔😔 FrontlinersCallForTimeout

ANCALERTS I'm the same way as to other countries out there particularly China.

Tanga talaga ng mga DDS na naghahanap ng resibo daw ni Dok. Bobo! Kaya nga 'Maaari'eh. Its an assumption with ofcourse acceptable bases kasi frontliner din sya. DDS tlga, kabobohan lage pinapairal.

ANCALERTS How can you be sure na covid nga ganun wlang test. An example is my uncle he was rushed at QCGH.He cant breathe,kala covid.nka ventilator,ngswab test. After 2 days nmatay wla pa result.kala ng lahat covid.when the result came out (-) sya sa covid.

DZMMTeleRadyo for transparency sake, hospitals should also provide their independent daily report relative to covid19 cases : - patients entered - patients denied - patients at ER - patients confined - patients severe and mild - patients died

Full of speculation doc show us your documented proofs

Resibo mo? O fake news na nman yan..

Late makuha ung result and pwede din na di na 'count as death'

Record high ang recoveries, next agenda: ZERO CASUALTY!

It’s consistent with the info in this thread

Dapat rin paki-usapan yung mga perwisyo sa Metro Manila. GCQ ang mga bata edad 20 pababa at mga Senior bawal sa lumabas, pero tignan niyo hindi naman sinusunod. Mag-suot at isuot ng maayos ang mask basta lalabas ng bahay pero marami walang mask. Sila dapat ang tutukan ng pansin.

Totoo kaya to?

Don't take the vaccine. Something bigger is at stake. HCQ works. Good luck!
