(An Email to my Students, April 5, 2021)

Hi, dear student,

I hope you are doing well and staying safe.

This week has not been kind to fragile hearts and I understand what you are feeling as I feel it, too.
We are not in a good place and our thoughts may be clouded with the situation we all are in this country.

I want you to know that you are loved and someone thinks of your safety and health.
I have decided, ahead of administrators and university leaders, that we will not have class this week.

No exercises will be posted until the haze settles.

When you feel safe and ready, you can continue with the readings. No need to haste.
Rest. Recover. We will be back again when this is done.

Stay safe always. Know that you are loved.

Recov= 0.0161%, 163 days
Deaths= 0.0379%, 167 days

Net increase in active = 8,200

Data: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
I am seeing some signs of slowing, but not yet definitive.

Would 8k-10k cases be our new typical number of cases?

The end of the pandemic is far from sight.
The predicted no. of new reported cases for April 6, 2021 is 9,997 (90% CI: 6,926 -- 13,811).

The methods are based on epiforecasts.io/covid/methods.…, using the most recent 180 days of data available as of March 28, 2021, and adjusted to DOH reporting delays.

Average Delays of DOH Data, as of April 4, 2021:

Onset of Symptoms to Specimen Collection = 4.1765 days
Specimen Collection to Result Release = 2.7296 days
Result Release to Official Confirmation = 6.3509 days
Sum of Three = 13.2570 days
Recovery to DOH Report of Recovery = 11.6584 days
(Note: only 1/3 of recoveries have date of recovery)
Death to DOH Report of Death = 40.2771 days

Data Source: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
With much of the delays, recent cohorts of confirmed patients from March to present have longer delays from onset of symptoms to specimen collection. This has been the increasing contributor of delays. These are often patient/lab specific issues.

PROTEST OF PETER CAYTON:

BRING BACK #DATEREPREM, @DOHgovph!

IT IS NOT REDUNDANT!

SEE FOR YOURSELF WHAT SUCH VARIABLE CAN DO TO HELP THE PEOPLE!

BEST IF YOU ARE DOING THIS, NOT US.

YOU ARE THE AGENCY FOR THIS!
BE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE FILIPINO PEOPLE AND SHOW WHEN YOU INDICATED THESE CASES AS RECOVERED ON THE DATA!

WHERE ARE THE CASES WITH DATE OF ONSET LAST FEBRUARY 2020?

EXPLAIN YOURSELF, @DOHgovph!
