Covid 19 Malaysia: Are We Proactive Enough In The Fight Against The Monster?

It is a good thing MCO (Movement Control Order) is in place. This has helped somewhat in the fight against the Covid 19 monster.

People have largely complied with MCO but enforcement must be applied equally across the board, irrespective of who its breakers might be.

Not one group of violators arrested, thrown into lockups, handcuffed and corralled like cattle in orange prison garb and herded to the courts to face action.

Another, privileged group of violators, merely being called up to have their statements recorded?

Everyone is equally affected and must abide by the rules.

For a few days now the number of new Covid 19 cases recorded has dropped to double digits from a three digit number, which should be encouraging enough.

However, it is still touch and go. We do not know whether the fewer number of newly infected cases recorded is because of fewer tests being done or not or whatever.

Have we been proactive or merely being reactive?

For example, had anyone anticipated that a large religious gathering that took place might just become the center of an outbreak and had the foresight to call it off before that happened?

Have we looked into whether the presence of a large number of foreign workers here, many of whom are not regulated, might just be the vulnerable group that we should have looked into to make sure that they do not become another source of outbreak -  something that even our otherwise super efficient neighbour Singapore had failed to take into account and is now having to do damage control?

Bolehland expects Moo's backdoor government to be on top of things, especially in the fight against an uncompromising rogue virus that waits to kill irrespective of who you are.

If we are not at our best, it is going to be a long, long painful and tragic road ahead for everyone.
