Dr. Salvana is LYING, no wonder DOH is also lying. Active cases in Japan has fallen from 11K to only 4K, while recovery rate of closed cases is at 93.8%. Active cases in Philippines is always increasing, now at 9K while recovery rate at 77.2%, one of the lowest in the world. https://twitter.com/cnnphilippines/status/1263459127059034114

This is another blatant lie from Dr. Salvana. If you check all relevant epidemiological metrics of testing, positivity, case-fatality, and recovery, the Philippines is one of only three countries that are consistently performing poorly across all metrics. #covid19ph https://twitter.com/cnnphilippines/status/1263459057668481024

Funny how yesterday I used Japan and Taiwan as examples where testing rates are low, but because of proper targetting, contact tracing, and high quality of healthcare, they're managing recoveries extremely well. Philippines is not at all comparable with Japan. https://twitter.com/_drei/status/1263253102330707968
