The Philippines are reporting 934 cases today, our lowest since Jan.. July 2020. Quezon City is back at the top of the rankings, while others in the top 5 include the provinces of Laguna and Bulacan, and the cities of Baguio and Davao.

As the world enters the second year of the pandemic, it also marks a new record high for cases and overnight deaths: there are 775. 000 new cases and nearly 15. 000 new deaths, bringing the total number of cases over 65. 500. 000 and the total number of deaths increased over 1. 500. 000.

The United States continues to lead the world in new cases and new deaths. It also continues to hit record highs in cases of nearly 220. 000 and record highs in deaths of 2. 918 deaths overnight.

There are now 14 countries, each with more than 1 million cases, that Iran entered yesterday.

Our southernmost neighbor is the most populous country in the ASEAN region. With over 270 million people on 17. 000 islands, Indonesia has been named by various media as one of the countries facing major challenges in dealing with the pandemic, similar to the Philippines.

Indonesia had yesterday with almost 6. 000 new cases a record high. And while it is now more than 557. 000 cases, the Philippines still have more cases per capita (3rd. 960 / million) compared to Indonesia (2nd. 031 / million).

The epidemiological curve of both countries is somewhat similar – there are no signs of inflection, although the lockdowns were implemented to different degrees. Compared to the Philippines, Indonesia’s testing capacity is significantly lower with a higher daily positive rate ( 12). 5 percent for Indonesia). Bloomberg notes that Indonesia ranks 19th out of 53 countries in the world based on the Covid Resiliency Ranking, compared to the Philippines at 46th.

The failure safety factor is based on 10 equally weighted indicators. If you say they are weighted equally, then each indicator contributes equally to the resiliency factor.

The 10 indicators are divided into segments. The first is the COVID status. The second is quality of life.

For the COVID status, these are: 1-month cases per 100. 000 population, 1 month death rate, total deaths per million population, positive test rate and access to Covid vaccines.

For quality of life indicators, these are: severity of lockdown, community mobility, GDP growth forecast for 2020, universal health care and human development index.

The Philippines only performed well on 4 indicators. COVID status: 1 month cases / 100. 000, 1 Month Death Rate, Deaths Per Million, and Positive Test Rate. Access to Covid vaccines has failed. Indonesia had deliveries to as many as 120. 000. 000 Indonesians assigned from the ranking. The Philippines failed on all quality of life indicators.

Those interested in checking Bloomberg’s resilience rating can access it through their website https: // www. Bloomberg. com / Graphics / Covid-Resilience-Ranking / so that you can take a closer look at the definitions of the 10 indicators and how they have classified the resilience of different countries. Despite the rising cases in the United States and the global contribution to the U.S. pandemic, Bloomberg ranks it 18th, a notch above Indonesia. It’s interesting read, but beyond the discussion for today’s COVID update. There is also a disclaimer stating that if the data changes, the ranking lists will also be sufficient. The question is how often does Bloomberg update the data?. The fluidity of the pandemic makes it challenging to say with certainty which countries are the best or worst places to go during the pandemic.
