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.

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.

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.

The two vaunted law schools have been shut out of the top 10 in the recent bar exams. This only proves that it is not the school but the student. If you're good, you can come from a not-so-famous law school and still top the bar.

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

By Miyoung Kim and Roxanne Liu Reuters

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.
