Best wishes for a speedy recovery Jim.

 

Jim, has your contact tracer moved you to a quarantine location? Presently that location for Dumaguete is the City Highschool classrooms with families testing Positive in the same classroom. Food and medications are ordered by Grab.

If you can't breathe, hospitalization is necessary and a ventilator wherever you can find one. When you are fighting for breath, heart attacks are possible. In the unvaccinated the pain of Covid is much more severe. Any vaccine before testing positive will let your immune system fight this thing.

The U.S. Department of Defense sent me a link of a story of a guy like us.



What is the difference between how the different vaccines work? This link explains how different vaccines work and how long their effectiveness lasts.

You have my sympathy Jim. A "better safe than sorry" option just in case might be to get an oxygen concentrator for home use if you can afford to. If you would consider that my advice would be to not put it off until you actually need one (let's hope you won't). Am not so sure these things can be sourced locally (but a quick search shows there's plenty on offer at Lazada).
With a little luck though it won't get all that bad since you've been vaccinated.

 

Best of luck, wishing you a rapid recovery.

 

Had the SARS-COV2 Antigen test. POSITIVE.

 

I think feeling shite will be nothing compared to what you will feel in one of the isolation shitholes or if you want to pay for the hotel room with no windows.
I would not go near any hospitals or testing centres unless i had to be carried there.

 

No surprise that, to be honest against a background of exploding case numbers (700+ new cases for the province reported today).
To put those numbers in perspective, at 700 a day we rack up around 5,000 in a week, that equates 3,500 per million inhabitants. In most of Europe, around 2,500 per million per week is considered a manageable level of infections, anywhere above that will put too much strain on the medical infrastructure. When you consider that across Europe the available hospital beds run at around 5,000 per million inhabitants, then Negros Oriental would need to have 7,000 beds to be on par. In reality there are 300 or so beds (available for covid patients). So no wonder hospitals can't cope here.
I know there's a much younger population here diminishing the need for beds, but even so, I think my argument does hold a fair amount of water.
