Pros
Cons

Con claim 1
focused on testing people showing only severe symptoms which is not a social factor, but increased death rate.
Con claim 2
In Malaysian culture, it is very accustomed to visit family and friends on a very regular basis and even more during religious celebrations such as Eid, yet the death rate in Malaysia is much lower than those of the countries near it in Asia and the strict procedures put into place means that death rates have not reached as high as other Western countries and the healthcare in Malaysia, a still-developing country, has been able to tackle the virus better than other developed countries.
