We must not let our guard down just because there are fewer cases and fatalities. FMTNews Covid19

As the number of new Covid-19 cases comes down, with almost no new deaths reported, Malaysians are starting to get more than a little lax. That has always been our habit and, pandemic or not, now that the initial fear seems to have settled, our “tidak apa” attitude is beginning to kick in.

Leaving aside the blatant xenophobia , the immediate thought running through my head was: “My God, how quickly we forget!” A long time ago, I remember one of our “talking heads” remark in response to the Highland Towers condominium tragedy that “in Malaysia, people always kick up a fuss for 30 days. After that, everyone forgets and things go back to exactly how they were”.

Why am I so stressed? The World Health Organization is already warning of a second wave of Covid-19 infections. Countries like South Korea are also seeing a rise in the number of cases, signalling an ongoing increase in community transmissions.
