Taiwan Scientists Find Antibody That Fights COVID19

🔒 Closed Taiwan Scientists Find Antibody That Fights COVID19

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A team of scientists at Taiwan's Chang Gung University (CGU) has found a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that can inhibit the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) by over 90 percent. The team spent several months searching for the antibody, which has the ability to inhibit the virus by 90 to 98 percent. In addition, it has been found to be effective against all four main virus strains. In early April, researchers from CGU and Academia Sinica, the National Defense Medical Center, and Oxford University announced that they had identified 25 strains of mAbs in three patients infected with COVID-19.

Jeepney drivers eyed as contact tracers

🔒 Closed Jeepney drivers eyed as contact tracers

MANILA, Philippines — Officials are discussing the possibility of tapping jeepney drivers as contact tracers while they are not yet allowed to resume operations because of quarantine restrictions, Malacañang said yesterday. Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said allowing jeepneys to ply the roads is “not in the immediate horizon” because it is “almost a physical impossibility” to observe social distancing when passengers face each other. “(We are) actually considering alternative livelihood for them. There’s a suggestion that they be employed as contact tracers, because we do need about 120,000 of them and there’s only about 30,000 employed so far. That’s being discussed,” Roque told ABS-CBN News Channel. He added that the...

Diokno to private sector: Take part in PH’s ‘new economy’

🔒 Closed Diokno to private sector: Take part in PH’s ‘new economy’

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on Wednesday urged the private sector to help policymakers build the country’s “new economy,” calling their participation “crucial.” During a roundtable with a financial media organization, BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno told the sector that its “role in helping the Philippines achieve the desired new economy is equally crucial.” He encouraged banks to fulfill their role in financial intermediation by taking advantage of the central bank’s regulatory relief measures by offering and communicating the least burdensome options to clients, especially micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). “Lending to vulnerable sectors, led by MSMEs, will go a long way in helping speed up the economy’s...

🔒 Closed Prosthetics guy from Laguna creates fearsome face masks for the new normal

Photo: Marianne Abelardo/FB (ABELARDO Prosthetics | Facebook) A television prosthetics creator is now selling fearsome face masks to help Filipinos protect themselves from COVID-19 and look spooky at the same time.

Coconuts Manila caught up with Rene and the San Pedro, Laguna resident said he has been creating prosthetics since he was a teen. “I started making prosthetics since I was 17 and my mentor was [art director] Maurice Carvajal.

Jobert Sucaldito facebook post sa ABS CBN - The truth about paawa effect

🔒 Closed Jobert Sucaldito facebook post sa ABS CBN - The truth about paawa effect

Napanood ko finally in full ang Congressional hearing kanina re the renewal of ABS-CBN franchise sa YouTube. ABS-CBN President Carlo Katigbak delivered his opening speech with an emotional appeal sa mga kongresista referring to himself as a beleaguered kapamilya fearing for the future of every employee that may lose job should they not be granted the much-needed franchise. Diyan magaling ang ABS-CBN - sa pagkundisyon sa mga utak ng sambayanan na para silang inaapi when in fact sila itong magaling mang-api sa kanilang mga empleyado in the past. Mukhang na-master na nila ang paawa effect para makakuha ng simpatiya sa bawat Pilipinong nabobola nila. Paano na lang daw ang magiging buhay ng mga empleyado nila should they lose their jobs lalo...

GCQ no longer the new normal: IATF-EID

🔒 Closed GCQ no longer the new normal: IATF-EID

There can only be a “new normal” when areas in the country are no longer placed under community quarantine, according to the revised guidelines issued by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID). “Areas, where no community quarantine is in place, can be considered as being under the new normal,” the omnibus guidelines on the community quarantine in the country read. The IATF-EID earlier defined the general community quarantine (GCQ), a relaxed community quarantine imposed by the national government, as the so-called “new normal.” Resolution 37 inked by IATF-EID on May 15 placed Cebu and Mandaue cities under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), the most stringent community quarantine...

Researchers Claim New Internet Speed Record of 44.2 Tbps

🔒 Closed Researchers Claim New Internet Speed Record of 44.2 Tbps

Researchers based out of Australia’s Monash, Swinburne, and RMIT universities say they’ve set a new internet speed record of 44.2 Tbps 17, according to a paper published in the open-access journal Nature Communications 8. That’s theoretically enough speed to download the contents of more than 50 100GB Ultra HD Blu-ray discs in a single second. The Verge reports: What’s interesting about the research is that it was achieved over 75km of standard optical fiber using a single integrated chip source, meaning it has the potential to one day benefit existing fiber infrastructure. The test fiber connection ran between RMIT’s Melbourne City campus and Monash University’s Clayton campus, and the researchers say it mirrors infrastructure used by...
