Covid-19 Treatment

[GWMinUS]

My good friend living in Dumaguete contracted the Covid Virus. He was in the Hospital for 3 days and then they told him to go home and quarantine.

He got no help with his Hospital expenses and had to buy his own medicines. Things in the PH are just so bad!! Few people are getting the Vaccine and if they are it is the Chinese Sinovac. Terrible job by Duerte and his Government!!

My friend is 35 yo and in good shape. He says he has recovered and hopes to return to his work soon. He thinks he got it at the Quick-Shop store he manages.

Wish more was being done in the Philippines...

Philippines signs deal for 40m Pfizer Covid vaccine doses

MANILA: The Philippine government has signed a supply agreement for 40 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc and BioNTech SE, the head of the government's Covid-19 vaccine procurement said on Sunday.

Deliveries of the vaccine, among several brands of coronavirus shots allowed for emergency use in the Southeast Asian country, will begin "after eight weeks starting August", Carlito Galvez said in a statement.

The deal comes as a delay in vaccine deliveries had earlier this month forced some cities in the capital region to close vaccination sites, complicating Manila's efforts to ramp up its immunisation drive in an Asian country with one of the biggest numbers of infections and deaths.

With the latest deal, the Philippines has now secured the delivery of 113 million doses from five vaccine manufacturers: Sinovac with 26 million doses, Sputnik V with 10 million doses, 20 million doses from Moderna, 17 million doses from AstraZeneca, and now 40 million doses from Pfizer, Galvez said.

So it is clear the PH Govt has focused on the Manila Region.

The total cases in the PH are 1,385,053. The number of cases in the Visayas is 67,339. Approximately 5%.

Many vaccine sites in Cebu had to close due to lack of supplies. Not just the Vaccines but also the correct needles.

What can I say... Maybe INGAT??

Or if it's the Ph's Govt we're referring to and how they're handling things then perhaps INGOT might be closer to the truth !
