Cmon Wil, these are national and world leaders we are talking about. People in the highest positions as far as world affairs are concerned. To assume they know nothing about our laws is idiotic. These guys do not just yap their mouths without assessing the situation first.

Again, do these entities know the laws of our land? Have they quoted laws to conclude that De Lima is just being persecuted politically? You are effectively implying that our judges are dumb and don't know what they are doing. That is utter disrespect.

 

Since we are at it. Tell me how De Lima is politically persecuted.

US assassinated Qasem Suleimani, the Iranian military commander leading the proxy wars in the middle east against the US and Saudi Arabia.

 

Iran vowed to avenge their hero's death.

 

Is Suleimani's assassination part of the US and Saudi Arabia's retaliation to a drone swarm attack on Saudi's major Oil Processing Facilities in Abqaiq and Khurais? US and KSA accuse Iran to have been behind the attack and Germany, France, and UK jointly stated that Iran should be held responsible for it.

 

How do you think Iran will retaliate?

Although US never mentioned it, Suleimani's assassination is their retaliation to the Sept 2019 drone attacks that crippled the Saudi oil production in Abqaiq and Khurais.

 

It's action-retaliation thing. It has been going on for years, each side trying to even-up the score.

 

Iran knows this. It is not as if US action was unprovoked.

 

Iran seems to have overplayed its hand. They have been too overzealous in trying to hurt US. Now the ante has been raised, making it more complex and costly to play the retaliation game.

It will help deviate attention from Trump's impeachment, however, the efforts to neutralize Soleimani has been going on even before Trump became President.

 

The Democrats will surely use the impeachment issue to downplay Trump's decision to authorize the operation. The liberals quickly forget though that the Obama administration also assassinated Osama Bin Laden under the same US policy vs. terrorism.

It looks like the Iranian rocket attack on the US-occupied Green Zone in Iraq was just a action by Iranian leadership to appease the Iranian public who's crying out for blood.

 

The attack caused insignificant harm to US and allied personnel in the area. No casualties. The Iranian rockets are old technology weapons. They are slow and the US defense system can detect them from launch and give ample warning for people to hide in safety.

 

However, the Iranian media can always claim great success on how their heroic fighters attacked the infidel Americans with their deadly rockets.

The Iranian rocket attack on US forces in Iraq backfired miserably on them.

 

1. The rocket attack did not do any significant damage or casualties to the US forces.

 

2. The Iraqis resented the Iranian actions and are now turning against the Iran-influenced Iraqi government for allowing Iran to violate Iraq's sovereignty. This would lead to further show of dissatisfaction and protests against the pro-Iranian Iraqi government. Another Iraqi regime change?

 

3. In the midst of the rocket attack, Iran shot down a civilian Airliner carrying its own people. The Iranian citizens resented this incompetence and are now blaming their own government for their ineptness. Will this be the start of the downfall of the ruling ayatollahs and lead to Iranian regime change?

 

On another note: Did the Iranians really shoot down the passenger plane unintentionally?

 

Why did they allow civilian traffic over the airspace where they are conducting their rocket attack? Did they intend to use civilian airliners as bait for US missiles in case the Americans counter-attack during the rocket barrage?

 

Did some Iranian general had a bright idea to shoot a civilian airliner down in case of a US counter attack then blame it to the Americans? It just so happened that the stupid missile operator took a wrong cue to press the firing button?

Way lang yan ng americans to test their weapons. Kapag na test na nila then maganda ang performance paniguradong tataas ang sales nila ng weapons.

What weapons are you talking about? Are you on the same page with us?

 

The Iranian-fired missile that downed the passenger plane was Russian-made. It was accurate and effective. But it took down the wrong target.

yes they admit it...

 

Trump is having a good time bcoz of this blunder!

 

The Iranian government admitted that they accidentally shut down the civilian passenger plane.

 

But was it really unintentional?

 

Why did they allow civilian planes to fly in the same zone and at the same day of their ballistic missile attack?

 

Were the Iranian leaders trying to make the passenger planes fly as bait for US counter attack, hoping it could be mistaken by US forces as another ballistic missile?

 

Ironically it was the Iranians who mistook the passenger plane as an attacking US missile or bomber and fired Russian-made ASM towards it.

 

On the positive side, this comedy of errors by the Iranian military leaders forced Iran government them to de-escalate their promised counterattack to avenge Suleimani's death.

the nCov saga ay patuloy pa rin kumakalat almost buong mundo na.

 

ito kya'y isang normal na Virus?

 

o isang Biochemical weapon na ginawa na China?

Conspiracy theory din lang ang usapan:

 

A biological weapon is something you can spread to your enemies to sicken them but will not infect your own because you are either immune to it or you have and effective cure against it that is not available to your enemy.

 

If they developed it as their biological weapon, why didn't they have the vaccine ready at the beginning of the outbreak? And why would they spread it among their own people in the first place? That is stupid, isn't it?

 

Even bringing up the question smacks of anti-Chinese racism.

 

H1N1 virus started its outbreak in the USA. More than 1.6 million were infected worldwide and more than 250.000 died. 17.5% mortality rate.

 

nCOV virus started its outbreak in Wuhan, Hubei Province in China. To date, over 25,000 were infected globally and over 400 had died. 1.5% mortality rate.

 

Who is handling the pandemic better?

The covid-19 is already a pandemic. However, people should not panic-buy. Panic-buying is a product of ignorance. Instead, people should educate themselves on how to counter the corona virus. Hoarding a plethora of plastic bottles of alcohol does not make you immune from corona virus.

Just an update: 132,758 confirmed cases and 4,955 casualties in 123 countries as of March 13, 2020. Outbreak is still ongoing.

 

From February 06 to March 13, that would be an increase of more than 400% for confirmed cases, and more than 1,200% for casualties in less than 2 months.

I dont know where to post this, but I wonder how the business climate will be for spas in the next 6 months or even a year.

Since social distancing is impossible in spa services, don't count on spas being allowed to re-open in the next 6 months. Unless ....

 

1. Guest are checked for fever and symptoms of respiratory ailment before checking-in. Guests give their true identification and contact details in case contact tracing is needed in the future.

2. Spas redesign their layout such that guests will go through an isolated room, disrobe from street clothes, take a full bath, and don spa-provided freshly-laundered robes/jammies, before going to their designated spa treatment room.

3. All surfaces in the treatment room has been disinfected and all sheets and towels replaced with fresh supply.

4. The therapist comes in full headgear PPE (mask, goggles/face shield), after having taken a full bath and new change of fresh uniform.

5. Spa management is willing to provide all the above precautionary measures without doubling their price.

 

Actually, the LGU Business Permit authorities should consider the above alternative rather than risk therapists of moonlighting and clandestinely providing home service to earn their livelihood without supervised precautions like what I listed above.

China’s Sinovac coronavirus vaccine induces quick immune response: study

By Miyoung Kim and Roxanne Liu Reuters

Posted November 18, 2020 12:34 pm

Updated November 18, 2020 4:04 pm

Sinovac Biotech’s experimental coronavirus vaccine CoronaVac triggered a quick immune response but the level of antibodies produced was lower than in people who had recovered from the disease, according to preliminary trial results.

While the early to mid-stage trials were not designed to assess the efficacy of CoronaVac, researchers said it could provide sufficient protection, based on their experience with other vaccines and data from preclinical studies with macaques.

CoronaVac and four other experimental vaccines developed in China are currently undergoing late-stage trials to determine their effectiveness in preventing COVID-19.
