WHY WE DO COMMUNITY SCREENING?

When Contact Tracing (Option 2) fails us (and I wont get to the reason why, as we all know why...) - we can do Option 1 (mass testing) .

But Option 1 is expensive 😓 - as its require more test kit and manpower..

[This is a thread]...

So what can we do?

We employ Option 3 - Targeted Community Screening.

We find the most probable area to screen to get the highest probability to catch those undiagnosed positives..

How do we do it in Selangor?

If they 'hide' it from us, then we have to 'seek' it.

We use Big Data and Machine Learning to triangulate these area.

In short, we ask computers to run millions of calculation to identify the area with positive cases.
