There's more to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) battlecry "flattening the curve" than meets the eye. The rates of success in a pandemic include technical terms such as mortality and case fatality, recovery, case doubling time, positivity, and critical care utilization. What do these mean and how is the Philippines faring in these numbers?

This unsubstantiated quote has been used and reused in online posts for many years.

Sarah Elago, a Facebook (FB) user reposted on July 16 a fake graphic with a quote from the solon saying she will support the New People’s Army (NPA) — the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP)’s armed wing — "if need be” and that people should not care if she joins their ranks.
