'There’s only one thing certain – our new normal will keep changing, and it will change very quickly.' - Dr YLM
Temperature checks everywhere we go, like at a supermarket in this filepic, will be part of the ‘new normal’ way of life.
Unlike HIV, Covid-19 is a lot more contagious and infectious, and is not really associated with a certain lifestyle.These adaptations and changes are considered our “new normal”.It describes a state where a population is sufficiently immune to a certain infectious disease, so much so that the infection will not spread within the population.
It has a reproductive rate of 10 to 12. This means that if one person gets it, he or she can pass it to 10 or 12 people!For mumps, we need 92% of people living in Malaysia to be immune to protect the rest of the population from getting the disease. As there is currently no vaccine available, it means that seven out of 10 people need to be infected before herd immunity can be achieved!
