Indonesia is ratcheting up testing to 10,000 a day.
Malaysia must be doing it right also, testing 11,000 a day. And having one of the highest recoveries in SEA...
How Malaysia Is Winning The War Against COVID-19 | The ASEAN Post
In Malaysia, a country of 31 million people, over 5,000 have been infected with COVID-19 and 83 fatalities have been reported. A few weeks ago, the country had the highest confirmed cases in the region with triple digit cases recorded every single day. However, on 15 April, Malaysia reported 85 new cases, a significant plunge after a few weeks of high infections. Out of the 5,072 COVID-19 cases reported in the country, more than 50 percent have been cured.
Malaysia’s strategies in attempting to break the chain of infection appears to be successful so far.
“We are following the South Korean model to test everyone. Test, test, test – and then test again. By testing everyone, we can detect positive cases early and help minimise the spread of COVID-19”, said Dr Nur Abdul Karim, a consultant emergency physician and head of Accident & Emergency Services at the KPJ Damansara Hospital in Kuala Lumpur:
Local media reported that Malaysia’s testing capacity for the virus which currently stands at 11,500 samples a day is expected to rise with five new laboratories, making up to a total of 48 testing facilities across the country. Nevertheless, Malaysia has yet to reach its target of conducting 16,500 tests per day.
According to Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, Malaysia’s Director General of Health, at the present time, the Ministry of Health is working to optimise the use of existing laboratories in the country by shifting its strategy to conduct an antibody test (serology) instead of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for those who have been in close contact with COVID-19 patients and have been quarantined.
He added that the reason for the shift of strategy is because PCR tests are more time consuming as samples need to be sent to laboratories, compared with antibody tests that can be done on-site.
Dr Noor Hisham said the antibody tests will be conducted for close contacts who are about to end their 14-day quarantine period to determine if they are cleared for release. However, close contacts will still be required to undergo a PCR test at the start of their quarantine.

Fasten your seatbelt! Or else...Driven To Thrill!
may theory ako hear me out hehe
1. young population (sarscov2 is deadly to elderly -- we're not like Italy -- lots of old people)
2. natural selection already took out a lot of those with underlying conditions (since poor people can't afford maintenance meds long term many middle aged & senior diabetics and hypertensives are already gone leaving few of them for the virus to take out)
3. time lag (long incubation period -- wait til end of April to see if many will fall sick
4. hot and humid (though it's said the virus can survive hot weather... survive and thrive are different things... the virus may survive but not thrive very well in 30+ degree C weather
