Vaccination have not resolve the pandemics. They also failed to notice the China which is 2nd largest economy will be big user of gloves in the world.

At least 15 Chinese companies have said in exchange filings that production had been disrupted by power curbs, while more than 30 Taiwan-listed firms with China operations had stopped work to comply with the power limits.

The steel, aluminium and cement industries have also been hard hit by the output curbs, with about 7% of aluminium production capacity suspended and 29% of national cement production affected, Morgan Stanley analysts wrote in a Monday note. Paper and glass could be the next industries to face supply disruptions, they said.

Producers of chemicals, dyes, furniture and soymeal have also been affected.

Supermax OBM with strong contract business with UK, US, Brazil, Canada and SG goverment will have robust growth in coming years.

The U.S. imports more than 60 billion gloves each year. Currently, domestic manufacturers only produce 6.3 billion gloves per year, according to the USITC briefing.

“While the U.S. glove industry is expanding, it is not at a rate that will heavily impact domestic sourcing or alleviate the current glove shortage,” Skokan wrote.

China’s share of the rubber glove market has also grown during the COVID-19 pandemic, but Skokan writes that most health care providers prefer higher-quality Malaysian gloves.
Skokan expects glove shortages to continue well into 2022.


"
US healthcare providers prefer high quality Malaysia gloves than the low quality gloves produced from China."

US import 75% gloves (45b) from Malaysia.

Delta variant thrown herd immunity out of the window
Khairy also said the Delta variant of Covid-19 had thrown out the herd immunity target that everyone once thought was possible.

Follow our Covid-19 vaccination tracker to see where we are in the race to herd immunity.

He said the way forward is to ensure the broadest possible coverage of vaccination be administered among Malaysians to reduce the number of positive cases.

“I don’t use herd immunity anymore (sic). We use the conventional formula because the Delta variant has thrown out our herd immunity calculations. It is difficult to say when we can achieve herd immunity,” he said


https://www.msn.com/en-my/news/national/khairy-need-for-circuit-breaker-measures-like-singapore-to-avoid-national-lockdown-again/ar-AAOJ7m9?ocid=msedgntp

SC to suspend RSS.

Datuk Syed Zaid Albar, Chairman of the SC said, “Malaysia is now at a critical juncture in our post-pandemic journey. It is imperative for the capital market to continue to support the economy as we transition into an inclusive and sustainable nation. The progress in the capital market cannot be measured solely by growth and size, as it also has to serve the underlying needs and aspirations of the country and its people.”


SC head is joker, the growth of capital market is not solely based on market size. That's why the klci index is stagnant and it never grow.

The banning of RSS is imminent as klci index is crashing 1850 to 1548. The trading volume before RSS is 24b daily but since the resume of RSS, the volume traded in Klci is less 4b per day. Bursa actually gain very little from RSS transaction fee as the traded volume is too small but in fact they are losing great volume of trading from the retailers. FF also run away bc the stocks that generating big profit are hammered by shorties. If our bursa klci index 20k then no issue of RSS but now the our index 1548, one of the worst market in world, do why need RSS? Our blue chip stocks making billion are most undervalue. Possible reason the bursa head is former banker, he need takes care is IB friend.

COVID variants: could dangerous new ones evolve in pets and farm animals?
People have been panicking about COVID-19 in animals since the very start of the pandemic. There’s now plenty of evidence that SARS-CoV-2 – the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 – can cross from humans into other animals. This is known as spillback. The virus is capable of infecting a range of species, from hamsters to gorillas.
