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..

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.

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.

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
