Coronavirus - Taiwan 2021

Well, March was…a life time ago. Not rampant virus in the US, under control here.

Now they crucify people who comply with quarantine but still come out positive afterwards.

Eight new cases! Almost hit the 1,000 mark!

Yes there have been a few over the past year who were all about more testing and/or lockdowns, Red Horse was just one. They seemed to join up, post away for up to a month, then fade away (about the lifespan of a wireless mouse battery, or one month of free internet).

Not until they get free vaccines, I guess.

That will, in almost all cases, take a while.

They are running back home to get vaccinated.
