While government and ministries are overwhelmed, these doctors and many more are the living examples of the song originally recorded by English singer Billy Ocean in 1985 "When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going" m.malaysiakini.com/news/557881
The 10-point framework of action is based on good science, sound economics and common sense
It isn’t rocket science!
It is doable & will lift us out of the pandemic
Pray that the government embraces this 10-point plan and kick start with the formation of the COVID-19 Task Force.

The KKM COVID-19 playbook needs to be updated and re-strategized with the new science of pandemic management.
1 RTK-Ag is the surveillance tool of choice NOT PCR
2 RTK-Ag gives test results earliest within 30 minutes at the Point Of Care. @Selangkah_cvd19 informs within 24 hours.

3 PCR takes more than 24 hours. Some have completed Quarantine whilst waiting for their results!
4 Triaged-Mass Testing is the way forward NOT a testing regime biased towards symptomatic cases. You’d miss the spread from the 40-50% of asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic cases TBC

5. How do we triage and identify the hot spots of COVID-19?
We automated Contact Tracing with our @Selangkah_cvd19 app. Leveraging on data science and machine learning helped us to FIND the potential hot pots.
We targeted these hotspots for mass screening.

We targeted these hotspots for mass screening.
We validated this by running screening in both Hotspots and Coldspots.
The results:
Forecast Hotspots: Positive rates were 5%, 12.5% and 20.5%
Forecast Coldspots: 0%, 1.87%, 2%
This heat map illustrates the Predicted versus Validated
