    Agreed, it depends on how data is provided to them. I benchmarked the Portuguese, UK and US numbers and they matched with other data sources but there is bound to be a time lag or discrepancy …. However the larger picture is correct as far as I can deduct.

    If you click on the link they provide as their source for the Philippines (which now has a correct title) you see these figures. 20 million of a population of 110 million is not 17% unless my maths have gone screwy. That is as of Sept 1st.

    Makes sense to me. You probably calculated based on the additional (roughly) 6.6 million babies born in the Philippines since Hullexile last checked.

    Ah but you have to deduct the 8 million who have secretly died from the vaccine. Wake up sheeple!

    The Philippines have dropped the ban on flights from the ten countries banned. The bans were imposed to stop the delta variant but given 80% of cases here are now delta that horse has bolted.

    Restrictions in Manila are being eased and city/province wide lockdowns will now be replaced by targeted lockdowns of streets/estates.

    "Nurses have been working 16 hours a day, overworked, for 16 months. Their employer is saying to them, 'Thanks a lot. By the way, we're going to cut your wages.' And now they turn around and bring in people that they will pay $55 to $75 an hour," Harrigan said. "There's just no better way to show the public and the nurses that they have zero respect for health care."
