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]... Image
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.. Image
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.

So if @stfc_selangor CHOOSE your area for screening, now you know WHY.

Get screened today. Its fast & free.

The written response to parliamentary questions of MySejahtera tracing rate of 4% in the parliament made a headline. I am fearful of erosion of public trust.

I want to share some of my analysis to recover the image of e-tracing solution.

Let me be clear that this is not a condemnation or trying to "outdo" others. Not Selangkah VS MySJ.

Au contraire, I hope this thread returns the public confidence to e-tracing.

It matters less which one choose to scan, but the bigger risk if people forgo scanning altogether.
As a proponent of e-tracing and the pioneer for QR tracing solution, I believe the 4% figure was starkly underestimated.

I'd like to share our analysis of @SELangkah_cvd19 Contact Tracing efficiency during its peak performance.

CMCO - of CLUSTERS, MITIGATION, CONTAINMENT and OBSERVATION

There's a loss of context when we treat cases numbers like a scoreboard. For numbers to be comparable, it must be standardized by rate, say per 10k population. Even this doesn't paint the whole picture.

- a thread ...
CLUSTERS - popular and have fancy name, carry different community transmission risk based on context. One that happens in a detention centre (is unfortunate still) carry less risk than one that happens within a community.

In Klang Valley we have 44 active clusters at d moment.
Mostly cluster-in-community it seems....sigh...

But clusters are limited to certain districts only.

I still filled with pride reading the last para of this historical statement. So refined in its delivery, and elegant in its subtle contents.

Theres a piece for everyone, no matter who you are and how u read it. I'm no linguists but this is my takeaway :
Budaya pemerintahan : membawa maksud keseluruhan tatacara gerakkerja politik dan pentadbiran sivil...

Keluhuran perlembagaan : perlembagaan above everything else, contrary to the attempt to suspend it thru Emergency
Kedaulatan undang-undang : just like how we always say Daulat Tuanku, and his titah applies to all....likewise, our undang-undang (like quarantine under Act 343) has its own kedaulatan...and it has to apply to all segment of society equally, without favor
