Now food for thought.. there is a #yorkshirevariant variant "under observation" in the UK.. for a host of reasons.. #COVID19 #Covid19UK .. 1/n
Ignoring aside the parody abounding for this #yorkshirevariant .. The Science of it tells us that it has triple mutations; of concern because they involve 3 locations which had been reputed for nasty effects individually.. 2/n
google.com/amp/s/www.inde…
We take #mutation 1 of the #yorkshirevariant .. E484K , a spike protein mutation found in the South African & Brazilian variants, said to impact immune response.. 3/n
google.com/amp/s/www.inde…
Then #mutation 2 of the #yorkshirevariant .. the N439K , linked with immune escape, of concern in Scotland briefly last year.. 4/n
google.com/amp/s/www.inde…
Lastly #mutation 3 of the #yorkshirevariant .. the P681H , found in the Kent variant responsible for the high number of deaths last Jan + linked to greater transmissibility.. 5/n

More info in the P681H #mutation on the #SARSCoV2 .. very much more prevalent then in early 2021
news-medical.net/news/20210110/…
This time more info on the P681H #mutation of #SARSCoV2 in #NewYork ..
medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
This particular journal publication on P681H shows high prevalence in California, New York & Hawaii ..
medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Now as for E484K #mutation .. this is a nasty one, shown to develop immune escape capabilities for the #SARSCoV2 !!

A *RANT* !! The upcoming strict SOP effective Tue, 25th May 2021.. Let it be said that , especially with regards to opening & closing of businesses at 8am till 8pm.. it's one that reeks from people who do not even understand what happens at 6am all over Malaysia.. 1/n
6am Malaysia; at markets, coffeeshops, kedai runcit, hawker stalls, penjaja etc..

Buying things, 6-7am, a window period that helps so many people; fr shift workers to general workers to even ketua rumah going out to buy bread 🍞 & buns for family & breakfast for myself !! 2/n
Near perfect SOP compliance at all premises, locations.. except for the odd Ah Pek who insists on puffing his cigarette 🚬 after his meal..

But .. it is very good Social Distancing with such less crowd !! So why disrupt that with an 8am opening time ??? 3/n

In case many are not aware, Kedah has been seeing a surge of #COVID19 cases, with 434 cases yesterday, surpassing even Penang !! Then we have this.. from Kedah Chairperon, Committee for Health & Local Govt.. 😔
20th May 2021, 7.04pm
hmetro.com.my/mutakhir/2021/…
It then begs the question..
How this Kedah reach this point ?
Case numbers for comparison:
21/5: 434
20/5: 417
19/5: 445
18/5: 244
17/5: 236
16/5: 363
15/5: 239
14/5: 228
13/5: 193
12/5: 226
Among the clues will be when more details of certain clusters are revealed.. like Kluster Dah Lengkuas.. (Kedah clusters now have the extra "Dah" in front, like when we had "Bah" for Sabah clusters last year)..
