+ January 21, 2021 THE pronouncement made by Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque that the worst is over in our fight against Covid-19 without mentioning the scientific basis for saying it smacks of an empty boast.
In declaring that the worst is over for the country, Roque was quoted as saying: I think we have seen the worst and I think the entire government machinery agrees with this.
With the almost 500,000 recorded Covid-19 cases to date, I do not know wherefrom the honorable spokesperson got his enthusiasm to announce the good news! Baka makuryente si Ginoong Roque sa sinabi. Ha ha.
The Department of Health, meanwhile, said that it will be able to determine in mid-January if there was a surge in Covid-19 cases during the holidays.
