“Health experts warn the elderly, especially those with comorbidities, not to expose themselves unnecessarily because they are prone to the virus”If you ask this question, since I am no health expert, my answer is, I really don’t know. I can only rely on health experts about what’s happening.
Even now, with the onset of the Christmas and New Year holidays, there are dire predictions that Philippine COVID-19 cases may surge next month. To what extent, we can only guess. As for me and my wife, now in our nineties, we’d rather stay home to be safe from infection, with the reported Omicron subvariant BQ.1 going around, which is supposed to be very transmissible.To quote WHO director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, “We are not there yet. But, the end is in sight” —which is an optimistic outlook from the global health body mainly in charge of pandemic surveillance.
But, health experts warn the elderly, especially those with comorbidities, not to expose themselves unnecessarily because they are prone to the virus. In other words, health specialists are unanimous that the COVID-19 pandemic is ending socially in the Philippines. It is still cause for concern , of course, but there are also social and medical costs. We can thank vaccination which the government has been pushing very hard.
