Reported SARS2 death sums from the Philippines government are unreliable.
By 4 June 2021, 19,094 health care workers tested positive for COVID-19. 18,869 out of these cases recovered, while 97 died.
The Duterte government has varying levels of lockdown across all the Philippines' local government units (LGU) characterized as "community quarantines". The stiffest of these quarantines is the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ). Restrictions were imposed on various quadrants of society such as mass public transportation, mass gathering, and the operation of commercial businesses.
Philippines Health care Workers complain of being underpaid and overworked
In April 2020, President Rodrigo Duterte warned anyone who violates the country's lockdown measures could be shot for causing trouble.
"The patient bodies are there but they died before we got a test result so they are not counted as COVID-19", one nurse practitioner told FPMag. Since then over 40 Philippines healthcare workers have reported the same problem. Data from the Philippines is no longer considered accurate until extra daily deaths (above the average dailies for the period 2014-2019 same months) are recalculated to know the extent of the crisis.
How many? "More than the ones who were tested and died."
Are patients still being intubated for the ventilator? "Almost all seniors and about 85% die and that's before we get a test back in many cases."
COVID-19 Frontliners are "Overworked, underpaid and marginally working in a professional environment"
"You are not a professional if you do not have the tools of your trade skills with which to do your work," notes one doctor, angrily.
"Our health workers are suffering burnout with seemingly endless number of patients trooping to our hospitals for emergency care and admission," said Jose Santiago, president of the Philippines Medical Association.
"We are waging a losing battle," notes Jose, "against Covid-19 and we need to draw up a consolidated and definitive plan of action."
