Dr Noor Hisham: 96.8 per cent Covid-19 patients under low-risk categories, 265 in critical condition Author: savemalaysia | Publish date: Sat, 24 Jul 2021, 8:53 PM
KUALA LUMPUR, July 24 — A total of 3.2 per cent of Covid-19 cases reported today are Category (CAT) -3, -4 and -5.
Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the remaining cases which make up 96.8 per cent are cases under the CAT-1 and CAT-2, or low-risk categories.
“There are 260 CAT-5 patients who are critical and in need of ventilators, 129 CAT-4 patients who need oxygen, 127 CAT-3 patients who have lung infection, 6,901 CAT-2 patients with mild symptoms while 8,485 patients have no symptoms,” he said in a statement today.
Malaysia registered a second consecutive day of record-high Covid-19 numbers today, surpassing yesterday’s unprecedented 15,573 cases.
Dr Noor Hisham had earlier said that the number of new Covid-19 infections detected over the last 24 hours was 15,902, giving Malaysia a cumulative total of 996,393 since the pandemic began.
Dr. Jamalludin, however, said the vaccines had shown to be effective in protecting people from a severe form of the Covid-19 virus.
“Two doses of Comirnaty (Pfizer) and AstraZeneca can protect 88% and 60% respectively from the Delta variant, and it can prevent hospitalisation up to 96%,” he added.
As such, he said the vaccination rollout played a pivotal role in ensuring the Delta variant did not undermine recovery efforts.
“Our vaccine rollout now is among the best in Asia, if not in the world. More than 15% of the population have received two doses and it is important to fully vaccinate more than 50%.
“However, we may see its effect only later. Perhaps not in terms of the number of positive cases, but the number of hospital admissions and deaths,” he said.
Thank you, guys, for the compliments. It is my usual style to back up my case/points with facts and figures. Like that, it will sound more balanced and convincing.
My sharing is meant to provide another viewpoint of consideration for our forumers. To make any investment decision, we will need to do our own due diligence.
Even covid wont go, gloves demand oso drop cos no need hospitalisation. Mild case, low risk. U dun read meh expert said. Unless u wear gloves at home urself. Hahahaha
Here we are, trying to predict the mkt demand and mkt supply for gloves 6 to 9 months down the road to derive at the prevailing mkt price of a glove counter.
Factors that could affect mkt demand for gloves: 1. Efficacy of vaccines vs virus mutations 2. World vaccination rates vs (uneven) distribution of vaccines worldwide 3. Level of increased hygiene awareness + living with the endemic
Factors that could affect mkt supply of gloves: 1. Number of existing suppliers worldwide 2. Number of new entrants worldwide
In the process, some variables could undergo changes and that can affect the whole analysis. This is especially so for the coronavirus' super-fast evolvements and mutations.
The recent spike in Covid-19 cases globally did not bring about a sharp rise in glove counters. Apparently, mkt operators are looking beyond the number of Covid-19 cases globally to form the basis of a glove counter's share price.
A windfall tax should be imposed on companies that made profit due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the money should be used to improve the welfare of contract doctors, says Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.
“The government shouldn’t be afraid to impose a windfall tax on large companies that profited from the pandemic such as glove companies,” he said in Parliament on Monday (July 26).
As i told b4, everybody can give their own idea but pls understand the simple principle of commerce. When theres demand the price will go up n vice versa. Another factor of declined in shares prices r sell down done by foreigners n sharks. Once the foreigners n institutions buyers than u will c most shares prices will sky rocket. Phaps 50sen a day.
Over the last weekend, I posted that Careplus had outperformed Comfort and Rubberex in the last review period:
Closing prices as at 23/7/21: Rubberex - RM 0.96 or 1.92(original pre-bonus issue price) Comfort - RM 2.09 Careplus - RM 2.18
But things took a drastic change over the past 2 days:
Closing prices as at 27/7/21: Rubberex - RM 0.88 or 1.76(original pre-bonus issue price) Comfort - RM 1.89 Careplus - RM 1.83
Careplus was hit the hardest, followed by Comfort. Rubberex was hit the least as some investors/traders had already abandoned Rubberex in search of greener pastures. Less selling pressure.
Windfall tax is nothing new. It has been brought up before. But mkt operators just seize on this opportunity to whack down share prices.
So far, there is still no news of major shareholder Ong Choo Meng's shares purchase actions. Being a substantial shareholder, every 1 sen drop in share price would mean more to him than anyone else. If he is not seen actively supporting his share price, why should we be more proactive?
