OnMyWay Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 After being COVID free during the entire COVID period, two residents in the Subic Bay Freeport have tested positive for COVID. In addition, the chairwoman has self quarantined because she was exposed to someone who tested positive. Details below. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree with everything she does, but I do believe she thinks she is doing the right thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthdome Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 In the county where I live a third death from covid 19 was reported recently. When the second death was reported the local news made a point of saying that the person had died from some other cause but it was reported as covid because they had tested positive. I know this is anecdotal but does show that the deaths from covid in the US may be over counted. In my county there have been a total of 777 positive tests with only 27 people out of all those positive tests requiring hospitalization and only 2 deaths due to covid. So only 3% have required hospitalization and a .25% death rate based on reported cases. Since actual cases are many times more than reported cases those hospitalization and death rates I calculated could be as much as a factor of 10 lower. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickleback99 Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 For sure in US, you could have any one or more of a host of terminal diseases, including stage 4 cancer of any kind, and even on one's death bed, but if you also have Covid-19 when you die, they are counting that as a Covid death period, as I understand it. No telling how many that entails. Likewise, the very large number of deaths in NY and NJ were in nursing homes where sick patients were sent Back into the nursing homes, where disease spread quickly among a very vulnerable population. I'm guessing in the end, we'll never know the true numbers, same as the true numbers of those who have/had Covid, which some estimates are 10x (?) the actual known #'s. (preaching to the choir I'm sure!). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
