News this evening stirred people in fear and scare when it was aired 2 returning Filipinos were tested positive of Omicron variant. One a returnee from Japan and the other one returnee from Africa. 13 passengers of the same flight were tested Delta variant positive. This virus doesn't like to leave humans. It keeps on mutating. It's so scary. It seems no end. It's almost 3 years suffering now. Many students to graduate half - baked because of online classes. They can't execute much in their major field. No one knows when this ordeal ends? Image from Manila Bulletin news

The silver lining is it is less virulent. Restrictions will go up again (sigh)

@brokenbee, yes because any OFW can go home but sad others don't give accurate data like those srrivaks from Africa. That one with Omicron positive arrived December 5 and didn't tell his accurate data, when DOH decided to declare the name so neighbors will know that's the time he was tested and found result positive. The worst part is those in contact with him might have been contaminated.

Good thing they were detected before they were released out. I just hope no one got infected and spread it further than it has spread to other places.

@cacay1 I think so. The frontiers are not closed and not everyone has the vaccine.

The numbers in our Eastern states are climbing through the roof. Our state opens its border on February 5 so we can expect many sick people after that.
