Posts: 360Vaccines vs. Omicrom
The science is dribbling in and its clear from multiple countries that Omicron presents few problems to those who have been double vaxxed and boosted, not simply double vaxxed. The unvaxxed take their chances as always and their deathbed conversions are cautionary. Those with underlying conditions, well, they can't in all reasonableness expect the world to stop because of their condition.
So yeah, open up the PI ASAP.

Posts: 248If you are vaccinated and boosted, the science is clear. You are not in any more serious danger than you would be living a normal life. It's time to let people that fall under this category move freely and do whatever they want. I have vacation days burning a hole in my pocket and I'm patiently waiting for PH to open.

FYI and based on my cardio's views this is not the flu, it is more like smallpox, polio in it nastiness. It does kill and does not have a virtual 100% survival rate. Those who catch it (I know some) felt like s**t for weeks and some seems to have long Covid symptoms (does flu give you that?)
I know people who think they can walk into malls with a false / fake vax certificate also. They will be caught trust me. And those it is is OK to be unvax, catch Covid as it is the flu. That is until you point out that they could easily kill their elderly parents etc (more vulnerable) because of their irresponsibility.
While we are all entitled to or view I base mine on science and what people with way more knowledge of this pandemic tell me etc not some baseless FB post or watching Fox News, Newsmax in my basement at mom's house LOL.
Some of the readers / monger will know where I am coming from on this but I won't give all the facts, Others can take it or all leave it.
Rant over.
Peace.

Posts: 27I am just outside Manila. Yes, lockdown here for sure. Unvaccinated are not supposed to leave their houses, except for essential items. But on the street where I live life is normal. I know about six people who died here in the neighborhood last year, none from COVID. There are bigger worries here but.
Some OFW coming home skipped his quarantine at a hotel in Makati at Christmas. Missed Christmas, I think. It's all over the news with scolding as if he is one of the worst villains of the last decade. Tons of police doing an investigation to find him. It's as if he murdered someone. Punishing the hotel too. Not sure how a hotel is to keep people in their rooms.
Flipside. Insight into the Philippines. Last year here, there was a lockdown with full liquor ban. I went to a neighbor's birthday party. Barangay enforcers and police were there off duty drinking and having fun. No one wants to miss a party.

As this is being posted it was just said that all Walking Street bars were shut down at 6:00 PM, Perimeter bars still open. Alcohol ban in effect, except in the bars owned by the city council members. It's only alcohol if it is in a beer bottle or shot glass. In coffee mugs it is coffee. Caffeine will be flowing at an unusually high rate.

Posts: 4050Level III
I got an email today from an American friend who lives in Angeles. According to him, all of Pampanga has been classified as a Level III area, meaning that severe restrictions are in place. He told me than in Angeles City, no one can enter any establishment without first presenting proof of full vaccinations. He also said that all bars are closed and that liquor sales have been prohibited. Evidently the Omicron variant is burning its way quickly through the city. He added that the directives from the local mayor change almost daily, are poorly communicated, and as a result there's quite a bit of confusion over what is and is not permitted. At one point, he said, no one over the age of 60 (and no children up to 18) were allowed outside the home, and then the age limit was raised to 65. He however, said that despite his age, he had no problems moving around and was rarely asked how old he is. He was however, consistently asked to provide proof of vaccination.
The picture he painted suggests that at the moment the city is fairly bleak. For those with imminent plans to go there, it would probably be a good idea to defer them for another 6 or 8 weeks at a minimum.

I live in Davao and have not been on a flight since the whole mess began, but I do retain close contact with friends living elsewhere including Manila. Here in Davao, panic buying, also known as hoarding, has already begun though the reported infection rate here is low and very few cases of Omicron have been reported. However, the general public, or large swaths of it, appear to know that a surge here is inevitable. Stores have already started to run short of staple items and they're much more crowded that usual. The local government has started to aggressively promote booster shots, and I think is doing its best to ensure a plentiful supply of vaccines. The streets at night are sparsely populated and bars and restaurants haven't been permitted to sell alcohol for about two years and those restrictions will not end anytime soon.
I would advise against planning any trips here until at least July or August, and there are no guarantees that the country will be re-opened for tourism by then, but that's the time that seems most likely to me.
