IN HIS bid to help the country contain the Covid-19 virus, Penangite Dr David Lim has come up with a programme to better gauge the situation at the district level. “The reopening criteria for this model are the extent of the problem (number of cases) and its growth rate (R0 value). “But this would not show a proper representation of the situation in the state as a whole. “The same analogy can be said about Malaysia as some states have a far higher number of cases than others, like Selangor. “In this situation, the average is not an accurate representation of the net worth of a randomly selected person from this group,” he said.
