Malaysia has recorded 9,180 Covid-19 cases on Friday (July 9), a new daily record. The highest figure previously was 9,020 cases on May 29. Selangor recorded an all-time high of 4,400 new cases and Kuala Lumpur with 1,271 new infections.

 

Malaysia’s cumulative total number of cases is now 817,838, 725,000 recovered and 5,903 deaths. Today we have more than 8.800 new Covid 19 cases and record 135 deaths. Remember recovered patients will continue to have ill health.

10% of population to be fully vaccinated by mid-July, says Khairy.

As I said many a time; managing the country is like managing thousands of business operations in every town and city. Good managers produce good result and bad managers produce bad result.

Based on the number of increasing daily new Covid 19 cases and the slow rate of vaccination, our government is obviously inefficient.  

Our government must realise that lockdown affects our economy. People cannot go to work to earn money to support their families. Moreover, all business operations are affected and factories cannot produce. As a result, our economy is affected. Moreover, foreign investors are pulling out their investment. That is why our KLIC has been dropping in the last 3 months as shown of the KLIC chart below.

 

 

What our PM should have done?

Since China is our biggest trading partner, buying our palm oil and many other products, our Prime Minister could easily ring the Chinese Ambassador in KL to make arrangement to deliver all the Sinovac vaccines we required. If our PM did that a few months ago, most Malaysians would have been vaccinated and the number of new Covid cases would be reduced to a minimum, our economy would recover faster and our stock market would rebound rapidly. Instead, our government is buying Sinovac vaccine from Pharmaniaga and buying other brand of   vaccines from other agencies. Our government should buy vaccines directly from the manufacturers to save money. 

 

Currently Muhyiddin is worried sick in Hospital because he did not know how to resolve the Covid 19 pandemic.

KYY is right on the purchase Sinovac vaccine for faster rollout of vaccination to Malaysians.

Chile and Malaysia are in quite similar dire situation where daily covid cases spike to 6000-8000 cases a day (Chile in Apr-Jun, Malaysia in May-Jul).
Since end of June, Chile's new cases have dropped below 3000 per day.

Questions were asked on Chile's success on vacccinating so many people?

Answer : One is the storage method, undoubtedly. Pfizer requires storage in super cold units that keep at -70 degrees, which in Chile we do not have. Chile’s territory also brings limitations – it is a very long country. Sinovac’s vaccine requires very simple storage mechanisms from 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, helping it be dispatched across the country without a problem.
Two, Sinovac is readily available and all vaccines are on Phase 3 trials and for Emergency Use. The objective is to save lives and not to select vaccines for travel purposes for those going to the East or to the West. There will be more booster doses every year to improves efficacy against variants.

I like what KYY writes.... simply correct about Sinovac, women and pineapple, but sometimes wayoff on Jaks, Hengyuan, Dayang, Supermax, margin trading, etc.

I don't think Grandpa Koon understand about vaccine! Pharma buy Sinovac in bulk and then fill and finish it here! It's the most cost effective way to deal with vaccine! Malaysia buy them in huge tanks and after reaching Malaysia, Pharma put them in this little bottles! Pharma has the facility to do fill and finish! Government cannot afford to set up the whole thing just for Covid vaccine! It's just too expensive!
If you buy direct from China, imagine how many little bottles with special fridge just to bring them in! Again, very expensive!
Those millions donated by US and Japan are very expensive! Fortunately, this 2 million doses are free! The cost borne by US and Japan!
Initially, the mass vaccination was very slow! However, this month we have 14 million doses!
The only complaint is that Selangor is doing lousy job in vaccinating! Selangor has pile of vaccine doing nothing store somewhere!
Blame lies with MB of Selangor! And also Harapan especially Anwar! What is Anwar doing about it! He should sack MB of Selangor and appoint effective one since Selangor is under PKR!

Of course the Federal Govt mah!

They are in charge of ;
1. Ministry of Health
2. The Police
3. The Vaccine Procurement & allocations loh!
4. The Policy to combat covid

What can selangor in charge leh ?
Very minor city council or majlis mah!

Lu pakai otak & think lah!

U tell me which other state in Msia try to procure their own vaccines using its own monies & give free covid19 test to their people leh ?
Ans ; It is Selangor & Penang only mah!
The rest of msian states take no initiatives just hitch on a free ride on the federal govt even their response are slow loh..!!
Sarawak even worse arm twist the federal govt to get biggest allocations at the expense of other states getting less loh!

Thus Selangor initiative cannot be faulted...but initially selangor procurement of vaccine was even hindered by Federal Govt....but with determination Selangor pursue further to protect their people lives...finally the Useless Govt relented....bcos the federal govt cannot continue to argue when the objective is to protect human lives mah!

Stop listening to fake bad mouthing of selangor done by political lackey like tobby mah, the high cases of selangor are actually due to poor covid mismanagement of the federal govt loh

This all bcos of PN Federal Govt mismanagement delaying the vaccine procurement & also allocating less vaccine to the most populous and the most successful of msia the state selangor in order to play politics mah!


Thumbs up for selangor & Penang determinations for taking the initiatives loh!

Thus must blame Federal Govt loh!

There is no fatest way to combat covid-19 as there is no 'hard and fast rule' to it and vaccines all are on trial basis. Critically, covid-19 is new to mankind. It is difficult to determine 'the standard' used in combating covid-19 and same applies to determine whether government has failed to combat covid-19. In my though, i would suggest to enforce lockdowns and at the same time to allow factories to continue operations on conditions that all workers are vaccinated. This is ensure that lockdowns would not detriment to the economy.
