why always half backed idea? once tested positive, can the pharmacy prescribes medicine as well? MKN now only ask patient with slight symthoms to self quarantine only....health DG said got 21 type covid related medicine....KJ said treat it as common endemic post vax, not pandemic anymore, right?

public hospitals is too overwhelming with too many patients to the extend of neglect cases in some hospitals. pharmacist can help a lot to reduce the burden. make the medicine affordable, accessible easily at all private clinic, private pharmacist. don't let private hospital who always use PARANG to monopoly the medicine only....let more health y competition to parang private hospital

Imagine for 1 person:
1 week got 1 close contact <— minimum close contact case for 1 person.
4 weeks got total 4 close contact. = Rm 20 (4 swab tests)= Rm80 minimum in one month.
1 year = 12 mths (Rm80) = Rm960.00 for swab test. Money gone into the drainage system??? Bankruptcy for Rakyat.
