This is relly cool! Check out the Brazilian artist who paints masks for those who want to show their full face:
I’m beginning to grasp that Malaysia's CMCO is making no difference at all to the spread of Covid-19.
And worse, I have this feeling that we don’t have an action plan to contain the pandemic.
Every day, we receive the usual reports with some sketchy information on the clusters. They give me the impression that we are reacting to the situation rather than taking any pre-emptive action.
I must point out that the Health Ministry Director-General’s job encompasses more than just giving out Covid-19 updates every day! Perhaps, he can share with the rakyat his game plan!
Unless, I am right after all – there is no such plan. Besides the litany of exhortations about abiding the SOPs.
If that is the case, we can expect to see the sort of numbers we’re seeing now for a prolonged period. Cases are going to pop up, here, there and everywhere.
On another note, we should stay cautious regarding all that media hype about the vaccines.
We shouldn’t consider them until and unless they are properly tested and duly approved. Of course, they’re good – but they’re never meant to be magic bullets. Certainly, lifelong immunity is not always provided by vaccination.
Also, this past decade has seen a significant increase in vaccine hesitancy, particularly among the Malay population. So, vaccine communication is urgently needed to address any misinformation regarding Covid-19 and vaccines in general.
Anyway, I have read somewhere that vaccination reaches 50% effectiveness only – although I hasten to add that I can’t verify this statement. Nevertheless, medical experts do stress that even if the vaccine is not 100 percent effective, it will still be a safe and important tool in the fight against the virus.
I have already said this many times – we must learn to live with the virus. And to keep Covid-19 at bay, the most practical course of action is to strengthen our body immunity.
