Some name hospitals forgot the medical oath, more interested in PHP

It is more fun criticizing

After Christmas, after checking out of hospital, my partner experienced LBM.  It was her mistake to go to ER of a big name hospital in MM   She was admitted as Covid +   Then they recommended and ask for our consent to administer REMDI

We advised her to say we do not have PHP.   4 days after, she was released and her tests for covid showed her to be negative

Her hospital billl after mere 4 days was over P100,000.

Did they make a mistake?   Or they merely want the PHP. 

How could they?

Many foolish statements on presser and newsfeed re Covid 19

It is more fun criticizing

One of the important lessons this post learned in Post Graduate course and in teaching graduate courses is the train everyone in logical and critical thinking.

Thus it pains me that certain statements border on lack of thinking and  outright stupidity.  Even decisions that are being made.

1.  We are winning the war vs Covid 19.  Whoaa it is not going down, It is not zero.   While the deaths are declining the number of infections arent.  What;s wrong with our data analysis and that numbers tell a story.   It sometimes tantamount fooling people if not outright insult to intelligence of many. 

2.  We can resume classes masses, or mall operation, or resto.   But these places events are superspreader.  The change in CQ classification ran against the stats.   Furthermore, the history of Covid19 spread shows that they take place in crowded space, where there close personal contact and closed spaces.  And we tempting the virus by doing all of these.   Contrary to science and  logic

3.  Fighting covid with guns, and armored personnel carrier and strict military rule.    As if the enemy virus are visible soldiers of war, and  germs. 

The disinfectant the street spray would seem to indicate that roads are reservoir of the virus.  Covid is spread via drop infection.    That means being infected by aerosol droplets generated by shouting talking, laughing  aside from coughing and sneezing.   Many advertise the misting solutions as antiviral.  We know this to be untrue.    Hence we unwittingly killled a doctor with disinfectant mist.

Comment - Covid 19 an avenue for flexing power and political adroitness?

It is more fun criticizing

This post sees coVid19 as an opportunity for politicians to consolidate their power, organization, and distribute rewards early on before the 2022 elections

1.  The barangays though ill prepared to handle complex aid distribution were given vast amounts of power, and of course they are now beholden to one man/organization.

2.  The military were delegated vast powers to arrest and even shoot troublemakers.  And in the end there were deaths;   needless deaths and plenty of imprisonment.

All of a sudden, the common citizen feels subdued and incarcerated for the sake of public health issues. But one sees double standards:   for social massing as in the case of Police General, and in riding in tandem for couples:    military shamelessly ride in tandem, while it is prohibited for the majority. 

3.  The SAP largesse was a form of political campaign taken out of public funds running into billions, and now the govt is engaged in double talk because it finds out it could not fund the billions that it promised to the people.  But were authorized under the BAHO law

4.  During the pandemic many agenda were pushed that are not relevant to the  coVid19 and which do  not recognize the difficulties of the people during the pandemic:

      1.  Registration of the bicycles (just because  many are using this)
      2.  Taxing on line sellers (those who are just being entrepreneurial due to the  difficulty in finding
            jobs;
     
However one sees a mature politician and technicians making sure that the opponents of the state and his are made aware of the vast political powers and authority that he has and are warnings to those who will cross his path.  Be it the media, leftist legal fronts.
