Kulang sa kits? Swedish model?

How to debunk the erroneous narratives being dished out by govt apologists and paid trolls.

A thread.

1. Kulang daw sa kits kahit sa ibang bansa.

Sa totoo, kulang tayo ng kits kasi the govt failed to act early and decisively.

Nung pumutok yung COVID at may confirmed cases na dito, hindi mabilis na kumilos ang govt.

Todo tanggi pa nga ang DOH na "weak health system" tayo.

2. DOH is following the Swedish model re protocol

Let's compare

Sweden: 10 million population, mas maraming matatanda, free healthcare
PH: 100 million population, mas maraming mga bata, mahal ang healthcare.

Tingin nyo angkop yung Swedish model na yan sa atin? Think again.

3. Di naman kailangan i-test lahat.

True. But we need to test MUCH MORE people than govt is willing to do.

We need to test to know the real and actual spread of COVID.

Again, we are not testing because kits are limited, because govt failed to act early enough.

4. Even in the US, test kits are limited.

The US is NOT the standard.

Even when cases were piling up, Trump had the temerity to contradict the US CDC. Well, because he had a hunch!

Kaya kung late tayo, mas late pa sila!

On COVID, the US and PH is like Dumb and Dumber.

Testing, with containment and isolation, are necessary fundamentals if we are to address COVID properly.

But what do we get instead?

A daily dose of incoherent ramblings from the president and a health secretary who is both uninspiring and indecisive.

We deserve better.
