Malaysian Stupidities in Combating Covid19

Malay Mail: After two days of over 200 Covid-19 daily fatalities, Malaysia records 143 deaths. https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2021/07/28/after-two-days-of-over-200-covid-19-daily-fatalities-malaysia-records-143-d/1993400 "KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 — After breaking the 200-mark of Covid-19 fatalities for two days in a row, Malaysia recorded a drop in deaths at 143 individuals in the last 24 hours." This means that the vaccination has a lot of impact, even the first dose. If this continue, our hospital congestion will be solved. These hospitals are congested because of stupidities, not because of our real situations. Those who are vaccinated, need not be kept at quarantine centres. They can stay at home. At the moment KKM does not even bother with vaccination status in evaluating patients. A good sign is the inclusion of vaccination status in statistics which clearly indicated that vaccinated patients were kept in hospitals. What is worrying and reckless is to let unvaccin...

Wasteful Labuan Herd-immunity

  https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/labuan-first-among-territories-and-states-in-malaysia-to-hit-herd-immunity  KUALA LUMPUR - The Labuan federal territory (FT) on Tuesday (July 27) became the first among Malaysia's three FTs and 13 states to reach 'herd immunity' with 80 per cent of its adult population fully vaccinated against Covid-19, Bernama news agency reported. Although we should be proud of how Labuan managed to get herd-immunity, I just cannot look back at the wastes and huge financial and human losses which led to this herd-immunity. What is worse, it shows very clearly that nobody in the world seem to understand what Herd-immunity is all about. Not even professors and doctors are aware of the real purpose of Herd-immunity. The best definition is the crowd-sourced encyclopaedia, Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_immunity     Herd immunity (also called herd effect , community immunity , population immunity , or mass immunity ) is a fo...

  Benefits and Risks of Exercise With Oxygen Therapy By Nadia Santiago Certified Personal Trainer & Group Fitness Instructor Reviewed by Terri Forehand RN Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) is a method of training your body to re-establish oxygen pathways in the capillaries for better blood-flow and oxygen absorption. By wearing a mask that supplies a constant flow of oxygen while engaging in a workout, you can improve your health, enhance your performance, and achieve better fitness results. History of the Technique In the late 1960s, German researcher and physicist Dr. Manfred von Ardenne created a technique called Oxygen Multistep Therapy to be used in conjunction with treatment for cancer patients.

Breathing easy when the virus hits Loh Foon Fong  - July 24, 2021 7:30 AM 1.5k Shares   1.3k Good article but take note of the following: "For that, he suggested investing in an oxygen concentrator, and one that can be used while being recharged." Concentrators can only achieve 30% oxygen concentration at maximum flow, 7 litres per minute, and 90% at low flow such as 1 litre per minute. No need to refill but needs electricity to operate. You can still use it make your breathing easier after you have recovered from Covid. Oxygen tanks cost rm 450 for 10 litres, which is small and weighs less than 20 kg.

PM and chancellor not isolating Experiment

BBC News: Covid: PM and chancellor not isolating after Javid test. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-57877373 "Downing Street said the pair would take part in a pilot programme, where daily tests replace self-isolation. They will have to self-isolate when not working and will only conduct essential business, a spokesman said." Bagus ini. Tiada self quarantine untuk contacts. Cuma ujian harian. Ini untuk mereka yang sudah ada vaksin penuh sahaja. Ujian yang di maksudkan adalah ujian lateral flow. Air liur di uji macam ujian orang bunting. Buatan Malaysia sensitif 90% sahaja tapi ini cukup sudah  Yang penting kita uji kalau pesakit di tahap bahaya sahaja. Aku lagi suka vaksin surge di Labuan sampai banyak drive-in vaksin. Di UK cuma ada walk-in vaksinasi sahaja sebab itu lambat. Ertinya Labuan lagi berjaya dari UK lah. Kalah UK. Alasan Labuan kecil. Kita boleh buat juga di tempat lain juga. Tidak perlu semua tempat. Cari kawasan yang cepat merebak, buatlah vaksin surge di disitu dulu...
