Coronavirus infections will continue to rise in Metro Manila even if the government decides to extend the hard lockdown to six weeks, a Health official says

The government is imposing hard lockdowns to boost the health care capacity and"delay" the uncontrollable COVID-19 spike, Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said as she warned active cases in Metro Manila are expected to reach tens of thousands by end-September.

• one week of GCQ heightened restrictions + two weeks of ECQ + three weeks of MECQ=58,000 active cases by the end of September Vergeire said the agency has yet to confirm community transmission of the new variant, but the government is already"acting as if there is community transmission."

Is the government and this OCTA group expecting that by the end of 2 week lock down, wala na covid? Lockdown is just delaying the surge but covid is always here. Weve seen this since march 2020. And apparently, we are not learning from experience.

Bahala kayo Jan sa manila Basta kami dito sa probinsiya tahimik lang at normal ang buhay. Thank you God🙏

So what's the use of a lockdown then?

OMG PAKTAY ANG PINOY ? SOS UN

If COVID is tranmitted via aerosol people are wearing masks and face shields, why is the transmission still very high?

Tolonges kasi yung mayor ng maynila.

Parang GCQ yun kalsada.. hindi naman ECQ unlike.last year

So.. Anong plano?

My pinaka Mbisang paraan para hindi puro lockdown. Palitan ang mga IATF at DOH.. Nxt Yr alam nyo na ha. 🤣

barrett_cal50 Despite knowing that infections will continue to increase, they have no action plans to curtail it. So what's the use of this lockdown?

August is hard month for business, as long as they can re-coup on Nov and Dec, they wont mind lockdown until september

Listen to the medical expert statement that is being recorded by top lawyer Mr. Reiner Fuellmich as part of preparations for lawsuit against several governments. Corna is one big scam, and its of nazi crime proportions to my opinion. WATCH AND LISTEN!

last year nangyari na yan, and last last month den, pero wala parin plano? 🥲

toinx_ Huwag gawing priority ang pag-utang ulit dahil sa ECQ v3. Focus on testing, tracing, and vaccination.

Huwag nyo kasi bilangin kaya tumataas eh

Oh so ano gagawin natin nyan? Eh puro reactive approach ang ginagawa nyo. Never pa naman kayo naging preventive ang approach nyo.

Sa loob ng dalawang taon, Panay nag utang niyo pero ang kupad niyo pa din. Sana bago dumating eleksyon covid na maglinis sa mga nakaupo.

So ano ang plano..di naman siguro tayo forever lockdown..diba until december...🙄🙄

So we are doomed?

We’re not expecting to eradicate the virus with the lockdown. The main purpose of the lockdown is to slow down the spread - so as not to overwhelm our health system.

And so?

PERO SA DAVAO HINDI 😂😂😂

Naka quota nga ng bakunahan dumagsa naman ang may sakit. May premyo ba sa kota ng bakuna? Dapat may premyo rin sa pinakakonti na may sakit

Dapat kasi tigilan yan mga SUPER SPREADER na pilahan ng mga walkin sa bakuna.

I doubt it if this 2 week hard lock down will be enough but it’s absolute suicide to be on indefinite lockdown

Very sadly so

Masamang pangitain ito ah..

Sus hard lockdown kuno. Lahat nman nkabukas at nkkpgtrabaho. GCQ lang?
