He talks about how he started using his zumba moves in health campaigns and the challenge of preventing children’s deaths amid a global vaccine shortage.Is the pandemic over? When should we still wear masks? Why is there a pertussis outbreak? Why did many believe the anti-vaxxers? Dr. Tayag provides clear answers without having to dance.HOWIE: Magandang araw, podmates! Howie Severino muli na nagpapaalala na nakakatalino ang mahabang attention span.
Howie, I don't know. Kasi, nu'ng ginagawa ko 'yan, that was genuine. And number two, you really be serious about it. And number three, sinasama ko kasi 'yung audience to participate. And so, therefore, even if I know the dance steps, sometimes I have to modify it so that the audience can feel comfortable and they can actually follow.So parang... At nakatulong dito because I'm enrolled in a fitness gym. And I would join these classes and I would get some choreo.
Oo, FETP. Kasama ako sa Fourth Batch, 1990-1992, panahon ni Sec. Juan Flavier. Siya ang Secretary nu'n. Ngayon, ang aming napag-usapan nu'n ng aking mga mentor, si Dr. Mark White at si Dr. Manuel Dayrit, director pa lamang doon si Dr. Dayrit, ay ito po natutunan ko sa kanila.How can you even solve a problem if you are not naming what the problem is? So ang ginawa namin, nag-umpisa kami ng surveillance sa tatlong hospital lamang ng mga kasamahan ko.
2019, Disyembre, nang iniulat siya ng China. 2020, nang na-declare 'yan na Public Health Emergency of International Concern ng World Health Organization, at nu'ng taon ding 'yan, nai-report na 'yan ay isang pandemic na. At nu'ng 2021, diyan po nag-umpisa 'yung mga bakuna na nagamit po natin. Ang iba't ibang uri po ng bakuna ang ginamit po sa marami nating mga kababayan, Howie.HOWIE: Okay, Doc.
