Buku-buku yang ditunggu-tunggu. Zaman sekarang memang perlu kefahaman yang lebih untuk kesihatan mental dah psikologi buat diri sendiri, keluarga dan kenalan rapat. Terima kasih @DrRozanizam

[Aizuddin Kamaruddin @AizuddinK]

Buku yang dinanti-nanti. Terima kasih Dr @maszlee

The Ro value is definitely over-simplistic and doesnt give the real dire situation. k value will help us to contain situation better, not just economically but for benefit of mental wellbeing of those affected https://t.co/auR43iqrct

[Andrew C Ahn @AndrewCAhn2]

In summary, k ranged from 0.02-0.65. Since k was consistently < 1, COVID-19 transmission is overdispersed w/ small # of individuals contribute to large # of transmissions.

So, does this make SARS-CoV-2 unique compare to other pathogens?

[Aizuddin Kamaruddin @AizuddinK]

If only we have good contact tracing, we might be able to determine k value correctly to better manage our MCO decision and phases

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Good question: Why is #SARSCoV2 prone to superspreading, following the Pareto 80-20 rule for over-dispersion of infections, but not H1N1 or other pathogens?

SpeeDx, launched products that could detect Sars-CoV-2 #VOC #alpha #beta #gamma , compatible with various QPCR setup. #deltavariant coming soon. Now could identify #Covid_19 #variant faster and cheaper way without the need for #genome #sequencing

@DrGanHM @LutfiAfiq @khalidkarim @fordlynxrs I’m all for covid variant identification to curb the spread. ONT is definitely the most feasible platform cf. ILM. I echo my other tweet I wish ONT could be deployed at CRC or Covid Hosp and perhaps Ind area. Great investment for future control of infectious disease outbreak

[Aizuddin Kamaruddin @AizuddinK]

@LutfiAfiq @DrGanHM @khalidkarim @fordlynxrs Do we even have access to Novaseq 6000 here in Malaysia? Last I check IMR and MGI are still using NextSeq and HiSeq with much lower capacity for batch processing.

[Aizuddin Kamaruddin @AizuddinK]

@fordlynxrs @khalidkarim @DrGanHM Yes! Saw collabs with unis, UMMC and IIUM among others. Should be easily deployable at CRCs or Covid Hosp in addition to positive testing.

[Aizuddin Kamaruddin @AizuddinK]

@khalidkarim Hopefully the next one picking up this fight will push this dream to reality.. investment on healthcare resources always a boon to the country and its economy. More tests and increase testing capacity is the only way

@syawal @fordlynxrs @khalidkarim @DrGanHM Screenshot from the official website. The MiniON platform looks very cute but powerful. @DrGanHM would definitely explain much better
