Philippines: The Curve is starting to flatten

CNN Philippines

According to Dr. Teddy Herbosa, special adviser of the National Task Force Against COVID-19 told CNN Philippines’ New Day that the number of patients who recovered already surpassed the patients who died and the doubling rate had also decreased.

This means that the Covid virus is not infecting people as fast as it used to and this has given the people time to adjust and prepare for its eradication.

The lockdown and social distancing campaign worked in isolating the infected people. Lifting the lockdown will be dangerous but if proper social distancing and hygiene are seriously followed by the people, there is a good chance that the virus will not infect people as aggressively as before. 

The best remedy, of course, is to develop a vaccine and of course, a medical remedy for infected people. 

Some Fun Facts about Senator Juan Ponce Enrile

Sharing this from Youtube (Video) and Reddit (Fun Facts below):

A few pieces of trivia I discovered about Juan Ponce Enrile, who was born in 1924 and is now 92 years old:

Queen Elizabeth is two years younger than Enrile.

Penicillin was invented four years after Enrile was born. (h/t Jomel Salas)

For the first four years of Enrile's life, sliced bread did not exist. Bread slicing machines were invented four years later.

Enrile is one year older than television.

The Jazz Singer, the first talkie film, was screened when Enrile was three years old.

The good news is, Enrile isn't older than Disney company. Disney was founded four months before he was born.

However, Enrile is still four years older than Mickey Mouse.

Sewer systems in the Philippines were modernized when Enrile was five years old. That most likely means he was drinking contaminated water for the first few years of his life.

In his early years, Enrile lived under an insular government, and only when he was 11 did Manuel Quezon take office under the Commonwealth government. Yes, Enrile was much, much older than the Tydings–McDuffie Act.

Enrile is as old as frozen food - or rather, the invention of frozen food.
