Dumadagdag sa mga panawagan na huwag irenew ang prangkisa ng ABS-CBN, inilathala ni dating broadcaster Jay Sonza bilang totoo ang isang satirical post na nagsasabing ibinalita ng network na ang mga senior citizen ay papayagan na lumabas sa kanilang bahay sa ilalim ng general community quarantine (GCQ) “kung sila ay sinasamahan ng kanilang mga magulang."
Adding fuel to calls for the nonrenewal of ABS-CBN’s legislative franchise, former broadcaster Jay Sonza published as true a satirical post claiming the network reported that senior citizens would be allowed to go out of their house under the general community quarantine (GCQ) only "if they are accompanied by their parents."
The Cultural Center of the Philippines through its Vice-President and Artistic Director Chris Millado announced Thursday via Zoom teleconference all live concerts, ballet presentations, theater seasons and other previously planned shows will have to be cancelled this year.
More and more, President Duterte is giving the uniformed personnel a bigger role in the implementation of the Luzon-wide lockdown he imposed beginning March 16 to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus that has rampaging in all parts of the world claiming lives of hundreds of thousands. In the thousands have been afflicted. While over 600 have recovered, more than 500 have died.
Inulit ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang kanyang maling pahayag na ang Pilipinas ang unang bansa sa Asia na nagpataw ng isang "lockdown" upang labanan ang pagkalat ng coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Ito, habang tinatanggi ng mga opisyal ang mga alegasyon na nahuli ang gobyerno sa pagpapatupad ng mga mahigpit na hakbang para makontrol ang pagkalat ng sakit sa bansa.
Here’s the reply of Dr Rabindra Abeyasinghe, WHO representative in the Philippines: “It is difficult to make a sensible statement on fatality rate in a context where we do not have a clear picture on the total number of infected cases. Currently the estimated Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of known confirmed cases divided by known confirmed deaths is lower in the Philippines (4 percent) than globally (5 percent), but with the limited testing capacity in the Philippines, all mild and asymptomatic cases are not tested and thus not counted among the total confirmed number of cases, significantly affecting the CFR. “
Hindi totoo ang sinabi ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na ang bawat bansa sa buong mundo ay nag utos ng lockdown bilang tugon sa dumadaming mga kaso ng Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19).
