Let us learn from the failures and successes of the US and UK to not only beat this pandemic but also recover from it.
| The Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah is right – the people must not get complacent over the falling numbers of Covid-19 infections as the multiple wars in the pandemic is far from over.
He said the British government responded too slowly to the outbreak, and the nation could see as many as 40,000 deaths before the pandemic is over. "We need to make sure we have a system in place that can not just do a certain number of tests in the laboratory. We also need a system at district and community level to test people rapidly in the community, in care homes, and make sure the results get back to them very quickly," he said.
"We have to get the economy going and if it means locking down 10 percent of our population, even giving them incentives to stay in quarantine and with digital apps to help monitor their symptoms and give them support, that's the way to really keep this going until we get a vaccine and safe herd immunity."
