Now things in #Penang are slowly unraveling with rise in #Covid_19 cases.. Not easy with fragments of info, but here it is.. Cases in Penang are basically from Kedah #TawarCluster ..
Immediate case at Adventist Hospital was case 9129, 56y F.
Proactive steps were taken.. 1/n

And to make sense of @malaysiakini report below.. It had correctly quoted @DGHisham that case 9129, the 56y female reportedly admitted Adventist #Penang .. was part of Kedah #TawarCluster .. hence not yet a Penang #Covid_19 case.. 2/n
Then combining both @malaysiakini , @DGHisham & @KKMPutrajaya .. We see the bigger picture yesterday that the #Penang #Covid_19 positive yesterday was case 9149, 58y F who was "visiting case 9133 & case 9129 at a private hospital in Penang" !! case 9149 is from Teluk Kumbar.. 3/n
A quick look at @KKMPutrajaya infographics so far (not updated yet) .. Index case 9113 was symptomatic on 8th Aug.. sought Rx at private hospital (where?), tested on 9th Aug, positive 11th Aug.
His sister-in-law, case 9129, was at Adventist fr 7th Aug.
Talk about timing !! .. 4/n

Talk abt timing and talk abt infectivity of #Covid_19 .. #TawarCluster in #Malaysia started with index case 9113, who sought Rx for chest pain & fever, but ended up transmitting to 6 persons in the hospital (1 patient & 5 staff) !!
From symptomatic at 8/8 to cases by 14/8.. 5/n

Quick look at D614G mutation.. It involves change of amino acid sequence of #SARSCoV2 fr aspartic acid to glycine..
GAT or GAC to GGT, GGC, GGA or GGG.. so looks more like a point mutation where Adenine (G) is replaced by Guanine (G) .. #COVID19 #Malaysia

Finally !! A step in the right direction !!
Now this is a plan worth considering.. but not going to be easy with cross border interests in conflict with political affiliation .. and bogged down by federal inertia ..
