Health and public policy experts moot more specific thresholds for Malaysia to exit Covid-19 crisis – KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 — The National Recovery Plan (NRP) thresholds need to be more specific if Malaysia is to escape from the yo-yo cycle of the Covid-19 pandemic and recover socio-economically, health and public policy experts said. Epidemiologist Dr Helmi Zakariah said the first threshold listed in the government’s NRP, for the daily infections nationwide to fall below the 4,000-mark, is an arbitrary figure as there is no epidemiological evidence of whether a certain value could potentially be a pivotal point where outbreak will spread out exponentially.

And I think a change of scenery would do C.J. McCollum well.” (from 98.5 The Sports Hub)
