#MyTrace #COVID19 #MovementControlOrder, MyTrace: A Quick Guide
#MyTrace is one of three #COVID19 apps that have been produced by the government of Malaysia, after MySejahtera and Gerak Malaysia.
Essentially, MyTrace acts as a beacon that would be flagged automatically if you are nearby another MyTrace user that is tested positive for COVID-19 infection.
This would allow authorities to reach out to you for further action such as to perform COVID-19 test, self/mandatory quarantine, and even trace other nearby MyTrace users that might have been exposed to the virus at the same time as you.
Out of three COVID-19 apps that were produced by the government of Malaysia, this is so far the easiest to use. Do go through our MyTrace quick guide to learn more.

Mandatory use of MySejahtera app being mulled
https://youtu.be/SsDNmh6ODS0
KUALA LUMPUR: THE government plans to make the use of the MySejahtera app mandatory and do away with manual registration of personal data, the House heard.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Redzuan Md Yusof said: “We are currently studying and discussing with the National Security Council and the Attorney General’s Chambers whether we can enforce this as a law.”
He replied to Dr Lee Boon Chye (PH-Gopeng) during Minister’s Question Time.
The MP had asked the ministry to state the limitations faced during the implementation of the MySejahtera app as many premises still used logbooks to record a customer’s information.
Redzuan said this was part of a new culture that the government was trying to introduce to make it easier for the local community to cooperate with the government.
To the initial question, Redzuan revealed that 15.1 million users have registered under the MySejahtera app as of Aug 16.
“Users will have to answer questions relating to their health and travel information when they first register based on the standard operating procedure set by the Health Ministry,” he added.
Redzuan also said that the app successfully detected 322 out of 9,200 Covid-19 patients in the country.
“A quick way of contact tracing can be achieved via the MySejahtera app and the total number of contacts can be detected based on the number of Covid-19 positive cases,” he said.

In four separate speeches, Secretary of State Pompeo (pic), Attorney

This is the age of disconnection. What Covid-19 has done is to show up all the flaws of global connectivity.
The virus travels with human beings and forces us to have periodic lockdowns that disconnects the transmission, buying time to bring it under control. Commenting on the pandemic, US Foreign Affairs magazine laments not only the US failure to prepare, but also the failure to contain: “what is killing us is not connection, it is connection without cooperation.” Touché!
Globalisation was the great connector, created by the unipolar order which saw free trade as beneficial not just to the world, but mostly to itself. But the shift to a multi-polar order made America insecure and everyone else unsure.
A wounded Alpha is always dangerous, emotionally hurt and lashing out on perceived rivals. China as number two falls into that category.
In four separate speeches, Secretary of State Pompeo, Attorney General Barr, National Security Adviser O’Brien and FBI Director Wray laid out their case for containing China. But do the US Gang of Four’s analyses of containment of China make global sense?
Beating the drums of war, decoupling trade and splintering the Internet into a “Clean Net” may sound great for domestic politics, but no one in their right mind can support a nuclear arms race in the midst of a growing global pandemic and possibly the worst economic depression since the 1930s.
The global free trade bargain is very simple - free trade is win-win for all trading partners, but each country must deal with the unequal distribution of trade benefits within its own borders - all about domestic politics.
Disconnecting global trade and free flow of information only increases costs for all, reducing the resources to deal with domestic inequalities.Worse, any arms race is lose-lose for all, diverting scarce resources from fighting pandemics, climate warming and domestic injustices.
History is the best guide to understanding how we got into the mess today.
The story on US politics and economics is well told, but the China story is often undertold. Because of China’s rapid growth from poverty to world number two in 40 years, most historians are still at a loss to explain what this implies for the world as a whole. NUS East Asia Institute Professor Wang Gungwu in his marvelous new book: “China Reconnects (2019)” has given us a clear and easily readable sweep of China’s history and her search to reconnect with the outside world.
Professor Wang has condensed global history into three key centres of power: Mediterranean, India and China.
In 1500, China and India accounted for 48.6% of world population and 49.2% of world GDP (OECD). The Mediterranean powers (broadly including all Western Europe and West Asia) amounted to 17.1% and 22% of population and GDP respectively.
But it was naval power, science and technology that enabled the Western swerve to global dominance, so by 1950, China and India together accounted for 16.3% of world GDP, but 35.9% of the population. Western Europe and USA plus Western offshoots accounted for 19.1% of global population, but 56.8% of world GDP.
This neglect of maritime power caused India to be colonized by the 18th century, and China nearly gobbled up by the 19th century.
China’s engagement with the world was mostly through the Silk Road, with Indian Buddhism being the major foreign cultural influence on China. The Silk Road flourished during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), but the Mongol empire in the 13th-14th century connected China not only to Europe, but also to Mughal India.
However, the arrival of Western traders through South-East Asia after 1500 accelerated China’s trade with the West (including cross-Pacific trade with Latin America through Manila). Only in the 20th century did China begin to appreciate that the key instruments of Western power came from maritime power and ability to enforce international law.
In Chapter 2 of “Behind the Dream, ” Professor Wang skillfully weaves the story of post-dynastic China, when Chinese intellectuals struggled to understand modernity. It was the Japanese invasion that sparked Chinese nationalism, culminating in the civil war that enabled the Communists to unite the country with the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949.
The story of Chairman Mao, Deng Xiaoping and the policy choices of President Xi Jinping is told with verve and deep insight, without the usual Western baggage of seeing personalities in black and white.
China’s admiration for the West is defined in Chinese names for the leading powers – heroic England, beautiful America, legal France and virtuous Germany. Hence, the reforms in the last 40 years were all about reconnecting to the West through trade, investment, technology and people. But as China became deeply entangled in globalisation as the world’s largest manufacturer and trading partner, there grew an internal awareness that continued development would have to rely on internal stability and order, as well as external security. Stability was premised on a strong Party, and as Professor Wang put it, “the country’s integrity rests on the capacity to defend its borders even from the world’s sole superpower.”
Professor Wang goes deep into Chinese philosophy and political history to find China’s roots into the new world order.
The book’s real contribution is in explaining China’s shift from the Old World to the New Global. Here, China’s interaction with the South, especially with the Association of Southeast Asian (Asean) countries, will play crucially in the next phase of development of the New Global.
Asean comprises 600 million people and over US$2.5 trillion in GDP, with great cultural diversity, natural resources and a strategic zone that holds the key to global trade between the West, South Asia, China and Northeast Asia. The South China Sea cannot afford to be balkanized because it was Great Power struggles that made the Balkans an unstable region for Europe and the Near East for over a century.
As the US tries to disconnect, China Reconnects is a tour-de-force for us to understand current developments from the lens of philosophy and history. Professor Wang writes with eye-popping clarity, dosed with empathy, to guide us through the fog of uncertainty. Unfortunately, reconnection takes two to play. Whether the next US President will attempt to connect or disconnect will be the question of the century.

shows samples of a vaccine against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

Microbiology, in Moscow, Russia August 6, 2020. Picture taken August 6,

PETALING JAYA: The announcement of a Covid-19 vaccine in Russia – dubbed Sputnik V – that will help end the pandemic soon is still a “distant reality”, say local public health experts.
Russia announced on Tuesday it will approve a Covid-19 vaccine after less than two months of human testing and hopes to begin production in September with plans to vaccinate its medical staff immediately afterwards.
The approval was made before a phase three trial which would involve thousands of participants and considered essential before regulatory approval is made.
Public health expert Datuk Dr Zainal Ariffin Omar criticised the approval of the Covid-19 vaccine in Russia as non-ethical for its lack of full clinical trials and scientific data.
“The scientific community is worried as basically, a vaccine will need to undergo full clinical trials to identify its efficacy and side effects.
“So, it is premature for Russia to be releasing the vaccine now without conducting large-scale trials that would produce data to show whether it works, ” he said.
Public health medicine specialist of Universiti Malaya Medical Centre, Associate Professor Dr Rafdzah Ahmad Zaki said for any available vaccines, the effectiveness of the vaccine needs to be evaluated before it can be considered.
“With any new vaccine, there will be a committee to discuss and decide on the evidence of whether the vaccine works or not, ” she said.
The head of the Centre for Epidemiology and Evidence-Based Practice noted that any risk or benefit will be balanced before a vaccine is approved, such as whether the tested population is similar to Malaysia’s community and the kind of resources needed to implement the vaccine.
Dr Zainal, who is Malaysian Public Health Physicians’ Association president, cited an example of a dengue vaccination which was approved by the World Health Organisation (WHO). But even then, it was later found to have caused a lot of deaths and />complications.
“Luckily after evaluation, we did not implement the use of the dengue vaccination for our country.
“That is why the scientific and medical community is very cautious of approving a vaccine for the community because we don’t want to be wrong for using a premature product, ” he said.
Dr Zainal expects a vaccine to be made available in the country only by the middle or end of 2021.
“Any vaccine will help the situation later on. But at the moment, we don’t have the capability of developing new vaccines. But we can be involved in any trials or collaborate with international agencies for trial purposes, ” he said.
Indonesia said on Tuesday it would launch a Phase 3 human trials of a vaccine candidate from China’s Sinovac Biotech.
According to the WHO, there are currently 139 vaccines in development and 26 have been undergoing human trials since July 31.
Out of the 165 vaccines, six are reaching Phase 3, which is the last step before regulatory approval and will involve large numbers of human testing.
Sinovac’s vaccine, named CoronaVac, is already being tested on 9,000 Brazilian health workers.
Malaysian Medical Association president Dr N. Ganabaskaran said the Covid-19 pandemic will go on for years even if vaccines are readily available.
“Even if vaccines are available, what about poor countries? Not all countries can afford the vaccine.
“There are vaccines being developed, but available vaccines will go to the rich countries first and it may take many years before we can overcome Covid-19, ” he said.
The battlefield of a global vaccine race has seemingly transferred from research and development to the market after Russia
announced its approval of the world's first COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday, soon after which the US announced to purchase another 100 million doses of a domestic candidate, revealing the Trump administration's anxiety over Russia's move.
Covid'19 Vaccine for the world started mass produced in China on 8/8/20
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that
Russia had become the first country to grant regulatory approval to a
COVID-19 vaccine after less than two months of human testing, a move
Moscow likened to its success in the Cold War-era space race.
China will make its Covid-19 vaccine a global public good when it is
ready for application after successful research and clinical trials, a
senior Chinese official said.
