Mass testing for Covid-19? Minister Redzuan Yusof says no need as everyone at risk without vaccine | Malaysia

Covid-19 screening is only done on those with symptoms and not on all residents in Malaysia, because as long as there is no vaccine, anyone can be infected with this virus at any time.

What kind of reasoning is this, I don’t get it? You are saying the chance for accidental viral infection is reasonably high during testing through contamination of testing kits?? If this is what he meant by this, wouldn’t it dangerously set the false impression most positive covid cases acquired accidentally through testing?

If this is not what he meant, then I don’t get it at all what’s the connection between the two: more mass screenings and viral infection.

In the end, I mean, look man, if mass screenings are financially unaffordable, just say so and don’t come up with such a statement that breeds nonsensical conclusion or impression.
