IATF's Galvez and Dizon both declare that PH is "flattening the curve".

"Govt efforts are effective. People should follow quarantine rules and minimum health standards."

Meron pa bang govt official na hindi nagsabi niyan simula Abril?!

Is this what they should be saying?! 1/
They should tell us WHERE WE ARE in terms of govt's overall plans and strategy.

Why is govt still determining the status of community quarantine every two weeks?!

What targets have been met and what have been missed?

Hindi pwedeng puro declaration, tapos babawiin later. 2/
Dizon should tell us why TESTING CAPACITY has been announced to be 60k per day since May! Yet to date, ACTUAL TESTING is less than half of that. Anyare?

Why is testing by private institutions not complementing govt effort in a coordinated way?

Why isn't testing coordinated?! 3/
Kung naghahabol tayo ng testing, bakit hindi koordinado? Bakit negosyong pinagkakakitaan pa rin at available lang sa may pera yung testing sa pribado?! Yung mabilis ang resulta.

At ano ang planong koordinasyon ng testing, contact tracing at isolation?

What's the plan?!!! 4/
And why isn't Galvez and Dizon using or citing DOH data?

They both cite "experts" but there is nothing about the DOH data, especially the miraculous "mass recovery" every Sunday.

Instead, it's the same "let's do our share" chorus.

The script has not changed since Day 1. 5/5

Alam mo @RobbieMeriales nuknukan ka ng...😬

Thanks for the tag but I'm sorry because I FIRMLY DISAGREE with you on this.

Framing the debate as a noisy, even vitriolic, "war" is flawed and misplaced.

Worse, it casts unnecessary aspersion on a webinar that has yet to happen.
1/
Let us be clear.

The current debate is about having an HONEST AND CRITICAL APPRAISAL of what went wrong with the PH pandemic response.

Sadly, the discourse is hampered not only by the refusal to admit that there IS SOMETHING WRONG, but also by the vociferous defense of it!
2/
The patent refusal to admit such shortcomings is worsened by the attitude of IATF advisers, particularly doctors, who not only ignored valid concerns and criticisms but actually BELITTLED those who raised them!

The condescension has been utterly disgusting!

Is this war? No.

I hated the PLE. I still do.

I cannot accept that a decade of studying all boils down to a single exam. Who would NOT BE STRESSED by that?!

At best, the PLE only measures a fraction of how much we learned or know.

But the process is as outdated as the questions are random.
1/
I mean, 100 questions covering an entire subject you took five years prior IS NOT an adequate measure of how much we know.

Worse, the questions do not always reflect the fundamentals required of each subject.

TBH, a great deal of testmanship is needed.

So how is this FAIR?
2/
The PLE does not even take into account changes in med educ!

Some years ago, when some med schools decided to change to problem- or organ-system based educ, they erroneously still used the PLE as a measure of success.

Nung dumami yung bumagsak, binalik sa dati yung system.

Sana bago ka sumagot nang ganito @jvejercito inaral mo muna yung kaso at yung sistema ng Philhealth.

You are obviously speaking above your head so let me clarify how you got it all wrong.
1/
If you just bothered to find out before dishing out your response, you would have known that cases such as this actually happens quite frequently.

While PhilHealth has different case rates for different severities of COVID-19, these depend on WHERE the patient is confined.
2/
Since the patient was confined in a primary hospital (level 1), the hospital cannot reimburse for specialized care, which are mainly reserved for tertiary hospitals (level 3).

Kaya hindi ma-cover ng PhilHealth yung malaking bahagi ng bill nung pasyente.

This interview is very telling of why govt is ALWAYS BEHIND the pandemic and why we are LOSING this fight.

Not because the virus is spreading faster, but because govt INSISTS on its flawed and myopic approach to the disease.

A dissection and a thread.
1/
Transmission WAS NEVER controlled. Resurgence was bound to happen sooner or later.

The newer variants may have aggravated the current resurgence but the real culprit is govt UNPREPAREDNESS.

A year later, govt still relies on healthcare utilization as its main metric. Mali.
2/
PDITR naman ngayon.

Last year, when HWs called for a timeout, you rolled out your "CODE Protocol" that basically targeted these interventions. Anyare?

Wala. Puro salita, walang gawa.

Govt had a year to strengthen these, but chose to argue even simple definitions. Anlala.

Health officials should stop hiding behind the law to impose its unjustifiable increased contribution rates.

PhilHealth is allegedly forced to require higher payments from members as this is a provision of the Universal Health Care (UHC) Law.

Totoo ba ito? NO.
1/
True, increased PhilHealth rates are part of the UHC Law. In fact, it is one of the controversial provisions that oppositors wanted to remove or change.

But even if the increased rates are part of the law, is govt really forced to implement it? NO.

Are there precedents? YES.
2/
The Magna Carta of Public Health Workers (1992) states the benefits that govt healthcare workers are entitled to.

But to date, these benefits are not all given to HCWs in govt hospitals. Govt refuses to provide funds for these benefits.

So HCWs still have to fight for these.
