That has been made known in this forum since first post which I've edited out to better reflect the incidents taking place in Penang.

Previously this thread was solely about the Motorola case.

Nothing yet. Just to be sure we're on the same page, I'm not a Keysight employee or contractor.

This is actually a very interesting question.

Not only in Penang but in several other cities around the world.

If u google and read the articles, u can almost laugh... but it does make some sense.

Briefly, it is due to the item very sensitive to supply/demand becos it is bulky...

And human psychology feeling good about stocking things.

The joke: alternative face mask and gas mask

The probable: in anticipation of diarrhea when infected, cheap disposable to touch suspected surgaces (like buttons, door knobs,)

Time to order some gloves. I did ordered a box surgical but recently I ordered some bike gloves for 1 hand for touching anything in public I will spray alcohol on it when I get to my car or return home. My main issue right now is I can't find any pharmacy selling 3py mask in Penang Island.

A supermarket in Bayan Baru sells masks at the cashier / checkout area. However at RM8 per pc, it is going to rack up a huge bill if you change the mask every hour or after every sneeze. The other alternative is to make your own.

If you're sure of your claim, why the need to hide the name of said supermarket?

Pretty sure the term "safe" is subjective to everyone.

Ask a hawker & he'll say "why not?"

Anyway, looking at statistics, there are only 1 positive case in Penang thus far so take that however you want.

Given the current situation especially with the unknown spread of the tabligh incident (we don't know where the 5k people went), I would rather stay at home for this whole month and possibly april.

It's time to act like Wuhan now. We need to flatten the curve. Our healthcare services are not meant to handle this many cases at once, even if private hospitals are also fully utilized.
