Duterte's Presidency : Expectations, Controversies, Rants, Etc.


Recommended Posts

Did he actually recommend injecting patients with "chlorox"? Disinfectant doesn't mean it's "chlrox." A disinfectant is a chemical liquid that destroys bacteria which is the definition of the dictionary. Of course, doctors won't inject disinfectants like chlorox in the body. They will inject something that the body can take.

Trump really made a huge boo-boo with his hilarious disinfectant prescription. His spin doctors are having a hard time explaining away this one.

 

Trump's "news managers" immediate attempt to spin Trump's statement was to try telling the public that their president was just being sarcastic. But those who were listening to him can tell he was dead serious.

 

"Disinfectant" is a very well understood word in the US. Americans with elementary education know that "disinfectants" are not to be ingested because they are toxic to the body.

 

His idea of "shining a UV Light" inside the body to k*ll the virus is just as hilarious as his disinfectant injection. But that concept is more to the high school level. Every American high school student learn the Sun's UV rays k*ll virus and bacteria. They also learn that the melanin in our skin protects us from harmful effects of UV rays. But if you shine UV rays on the body's internal organs, its cells will die. You might as well inject disinfectant to k*ll the patient faster.

 

I can tolerate an elementary or high school student making gross misconceptions of such ideas, but not the POTUS.

He was suggesting something which he probably heard from the medical experts he talked to regarding the covid. In chemotherapy, don't you put chemicals in the body too?

Ooops. That was a typo. It was supposed to be 'not locking down' everything.

 

As for the countries that have implemented mass testing, calling it more than a few cafes re-opening is deliberately misleading.

 

It's a limited re-opening of the economy, but these countries already ahead of the curve when it comes to the new normal -- Taiwan is making hand washing a required protocol in schools, glass shields are being put in place to separate customers in restaurants, etc.

 

 

Hindi ako sa "locking down everything" natawa.

 

Natawa ako sa realization that you didn't have any idea what Sweden's "Herd Immunity" strategy really meant.

 

You thought it was "herd mentality"? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is where I believe our government has failed in dramatic fashion. The initial one-month lockdown was a necessary first step, and I was still supportive of the government at that point. But it became clear to me that the time it bought for us was frittered away. No plans were developed, no protocols put in place, de nada. Instead, we had an extension, followed by another extension. I am still waiting to hear what guidelines businesses must meet before they re-open, if such guidelines are actually put into place.

 

And why bring up Trump? Just because the Americans have a buffoon for a leader doesn't mean we don't have one too.

Why I bring up Trump?

 

Because you keep insisting that our government is incompetent in handling just on the basis of their extension of the ECQ. Halata tuloy na di ka nakikinig sa government directives. Sinasabi nila palagi na puedeng ma-extend and Quarantive, depende sa infection rate statistics. Consistent naman sila sa decision making. Hindi mo lang naiintindihan ang reasons for extending the lockdown.

 

Do you know that at the start of the outbreak, our country's covid-disease reproduction number (the average number of people a person can infect) was 1.5 . As of April 17, it is down to 0.65. Our doubling rate (how many days it takes for confirmed cases to double) in the beginning was 4 days, now it's 16 days! That's how you tell if we're flattening the curve. That's the effect of quarantine, and constant reminder to the people to do social distancing, washing of hands, and wearing of masks.

 

And you still think our government failed? Compare this with what's happening in the US, and you'll see what government failure in handling covid pandemic really means.

Doxycycline, Amoxicilin and Azithromycin are chemicals. They k*ll bacteria. We call them antibiotics.

 

Sodium Hypochlorite, Isopropyl Alcohol, Benzalkonium Chloride, are chemicals, too. They k*ll bacteria, too. We call them disinfectants.

 

Antibiotics are drugs with specifically-designed molecules to target and bind to specific microorganisms to destroy it while leaving the body's living cells relatively unharmed. Cancer chemotherapy follows the same principle.

 

Disinfectants are chemicals designed k*ll microorganisms on inert surfaces. They are not to be ingested because they are toxic to almost all living microorganisms, including our own body cells.

baket po ganun na wala na budget ang gobyerno para sa covid? eh wala din naman na pera ang mga mamamayan para dito sa covid?

 

nasaan po ba talaga ang pera???

Kasi, nung ginawa ang budget noong 2019, wala tayong ka-alam-alam no magkakaroon ng covid.

 

May budget tayo sa pagsasaayos ng pinsala ng bagyo, baha, lindol, o pagputok ng bulkan.

 

Para sa epidemic tulad ng Dengue,meron din.

 

Pero sa Pandemic na tulad nito na talagang titigil ang ekonomiya natin, kahit sinong bansa, walang budget.

 

Anong gagawin ngayon? Yung budget para sa pagpapagawa ng kalsada, tulay, irrigation, airport, etc... ipagpapaliban muna at gagamitin sa pagtulong sa mga nawalan ng trabaho, pagbili ng mga relief goods na ipamimigay sa mahihirap, at para sa pagpapagamot sa mga nahawa sa Covid-19.

ang saklap naman, wala emergency fund ang gobyerno, wala din naman ang tao bayan, sabi mag ipon, eh pati gobyerno pala wala din ipon...

 

diba may special powers na si digong na approved ng congress para mag re-allocate ng budget???

Meron tayong emergency fund para sa Typhoon, Earthquake, Flooding, Fire, even Dengue -- enacted by Congress in 2019.

 

But our laws does not allow the government to divert the emergency funds specifically intended for the above calamities to other purposes like fighting the covid-19 pandemic.

 

That's why Congress had to hurriedly enact a new law, the Bayanihan Heal as One Act to authorize the government to reallocate the budget for fighting the pandemic.

I am not political but these days the impact of politics is graver as it can literally mean life and death for millions. Every world leader or community leader is affected by the pandemic and this will separate the men from the boys.

 

Let us see what has been done right in the Philippines

1) declaring the lockdown early

2) having the political will to continue the lockdown knowing that the country doesn’t have the resources to battle covid if it spreads uncontrollably

 

Things that were done wrong.

1) corruption - i would bet my balls many got rich. corruption is inherent but maybe at this time moderating it for the people is needed

2) weak cabinet - i look at the people in cabinet and how many can we say are really Good? A world call? The best and the brightest? Even if we assume the president is brilliant as many of people believing in him claims, still he needs a good bench to win.

3) double standard - every press briefing the president curses at violators and NPAs. I agree with his anger towards them. However, where is his anger when his people violates the very rules he has imposed. The police general party, the kokovid, the mocha... the list goes on. If others violated the law death to them but if his people violate the law compassion please. We lead by example not by fear.

4) the masa also appears to have deserted him. His support comes from this block yet it is this block who is mostly violating the quarantine. Maybe out of necessity which I agree but they could have practiced a little caution in public as well.

5) refusal to listen. We have the freedom to speak and think. However anybody who disagrees with his rules are considered traitors or dilawan or communists. Nag agreeing on a couple of things doesn’t mean being against on all things. The government is not God and like all mortals is capable of making mistakes which people should point out and they should learn from.

Ayos. The law is the law. Pero hindi applicable sa nagpapatupad. Someone is above the law.

wala na pera, ibenta na ang CCP complex sa mga private, ang tanong may bibili kaya? eh napaka luma na ng CCP, ni di na siya naka adapt sa modern age na wala parking para sa mga gagamit ng facilities...

 

mas okay pa mag show sa modern RWM or solaire theater kaysa sa luma CCP theater
