After 6 days of our Bayanihan E-Konsulta operations, we want to report that we have already received 10,830 transactions with the following breakdown:

April 7 -423
April 8-3,299
April 9- 2,057
April 10-1,845
April 11-1,940
April 12-1,266

To say that we are overwhelmed would be an understatement. This is, we all agree, the most complicated program we have ever embarked on because it entails a lot of moving parts and a wide-range of help being sought. One, because we really lack manpower and resources.

Two, all our external partners are working on a volunteer basis and almost all of them also have full time work, devoting precious free time to help. Third, we have to comply with protocols. All those needing hospitalizations, we can only refer to One Hospital Command Center, etc

We have more than a thousand volunteers and we are truly grateful. But because of the huge number of calls for help we have been getting, our backlogs are mounting. We have worked on them the entire day today, pero marami pa din natira.

While we are catching up with more backlogs, we will limit our doctor consultation period: we will start at 8am and end at 5pm so we could utilize the remaining time to catch up on our backlogs.

We also want to reiterate and remind everyone:

1. Our teleconsult services are intended for those who do not have access to doctors, medical help, and other teleconsultation services. Let us allow po those who really need help to be prioritized;

2. The program is designed for those needing outpatient services, whether Covid or non-covid related.

We suggest that for emergency cases, please call the One Hospital Command Center directly: 0919 977 3333, 0915 777 7777, (02) 8865-0500.

Matatagalan pa po kasi kung idadaan sa amin kasi yung magagawa po namin ay ganun din -irerefer kayo sa OHCC;

3. As of now, we are only entertaining patients within the NCR+ bubble kasi the intent naman of the program is to help decongest the hospitals here.

Kung wala po ang pasyente dito sa NCR+ bubble, mas mabuti po na sa respective LGUs kayo tumawag para po mabigyan ng agarang atensiyon ang inyong pangangailangan.

Maraming salamat po.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Ini-launch natin noong Miyerkules ang Bayanihan E-konsulta. Sobrang salamat sa lahat ng nag-volunteer—mga doktor, mga tumatao sa call center—pati rin sa mga simpleng messages of support. Overwhelmingly positive ang naging response sa initiative natin.

Sobrang overwhelming ang support, at sobrang overwhelming din ang dami ng requests na pinaabot sa atin. Patunay ito na kailangang natin ng ganitong uri ng serbisyo.

Hindi kami nagpapigil kahit ang daming limitasyon, at kailangan namin ngayon ng kaunting oras para habulin at tugunan muna ang lahat ng pumasok na request.

Kaya, despite our reluctance to do so, tomorrow, Monday, April 12, we will not be receiving new requests first.

Happy Easter, everyone. Some suggestions on the announced PDITR scheme from yesterday's presscon:

1. PREVENTION

a. To ensure its effectiveness, extension of the ECQ must be accompanied by clear, verifiable objectives and time bound scorecards.

1. PREVENTION — b. Budget for ayuda, and its effective and fair deployment, will make people be more willing to comply with lockdowns. Kasi the only reason na nagpipilit silang lumabas is wala silang makakain pag di sila nagtrabaho.

1. PREVENTION — c. Efficient border control to contain the virus. Issue and disseminate a comprehensive list of essential goods to inform the public what can and cannot be delivered, and lessen traffic in checkpoints. Fast lanes, too, in checkpoints for faster deliveries.

Another Sunday suggestion re TESTING: Increase testing but let’s make it more targeted.

1. If you look at this table, there were 6,936 positive cases on March 26. But DOH actually reported more than 9,000 to include the previous positive cases which they have not yet reported;

2. Using just the 6,936 positive cases, we are recommending the minimum number of tests that should be conducted per day per region. Better sana if by LGU but there is no disaggregated data available per town/city/province on the tests conducted;

3. Right now, we’re conducting between 30,000-50,000 tests per day all over the country. But if you look at the table, the positivity rates for some regions are so high that the number of tests we are conducting are no longer enough;

We’re launching SWAB CAB, a mobile testing program which will do mass surveillance testing in communities where transmission is very high. Pilot area is Malabon. Thank you to LGU Malabon, Ube Express and Kaya Natin Movement for the partnership.

Existing RT PCR tests usually are for those with symptoms or have been contact traced. We will do antigen testing to target those without symptoms and no known exposure to Covid positive cases.

All those who will test positive will already be isolated and subjected to RT PCR test.

Sunday suggestions.

1. 7,999 cases at 15.7% positivity rate and 2.03 reproduction number. I hope we are doing massive testing, contact tracing and isolation specially in areas that are on surgical lockdowns. Hindi na puwede yung previous target na 30,000-40,000 tests per day;

2. We need to improve our vaccine rollout. Per DOH numbers, for the period March 1-17, 269,583 health frontliners were innoculated. That is just 23.95%. At this rate, we are only averaging 15,857 per day;

3. Govt target is herd immunity by the end of the year. Herd immunity is 70% of the population. 70% of 105M people is 73,500,000. If we have about 286 remaining days in 2021, we should innoculate 256,993 people per day. We are so far off the target at the rate we are going now;

A year into lockdown and we’ve weathered through so much: thousands of deaths and cases, millions of jobs and chances lost, many moments of confusion, uncertainty, and fears.

Amid all these, we’ve counted on frontliners to lead us forward.

We owe so much to our valiant health frontliners, who are closest to the dangers of COVID-19 every day. Their courage and their heart reverberate across hospitals and health centers, in testing centers, in barangay clinics and down at the communities.

Over the past year, we have lost hundreds of our medical frontliners in this fight. Grateful that their community carries on despite the sacrifices it calls for—so that we can reach the safer, healthier nation we aspire for.
