Well this is just perfect …
They are disinfecting the hotel, and also trying to determine how the virus jumped to infect the manager.

I’m predicting that we’re going to end up getting locked down over this latest fuck up and spread.
We can only dodge “the bullet” so many times before we get hit.
I doubt it. They are pretty good at testing through the chains. If people keep masking up and reduce contacts we should be OK.
If they find somebody with antibodies they’ll try and figure out where it goes back through .
Let’s see.
I think the problem is trying to get back to normal while still under the plague…and that the normal itself was not healthy.
That to me is the only explanation to the sick hotel manager. He kept working sick, a la Japan. He did not choose self preservation over “duty” - or probably pressure from upper management- but he instead avoided the obvious testing for Covid-19. I think that was the issue, more than overconfidence.
And now he is in ICU. No job is worth it.
It is bad enough the cases belong to the British variant. Turkey is just getting its first lockdown, so nothing is out of the question.
But hopefully they have stopped the bleeding and contained the cases.
Last year there was an weekend curfew in Istanbul but it didn’t apply to foreign visitors. Doing like the Türkler should definitely be out of the question.
Well using chinese or Russian vaccination could infect loads of people and actually start the spread. I’m still sure due to other factors that Taiwan is safe.
So vaccinate people but virus wasn’t dead but live. Rumors are it happened too with sinovac
If this one didn’t spread it to at least 10% of these folks in the picture then it will just confirm my suspicions about 0 cases Taiwan.
He was asymptomatic, masked and only an observer:
So, how come Covid Codger seems to be avoiding scrutiny?
Like he went in a quarantine room for 10 minutes–for admittedly good reason—but then decided to just go trotting off rather than tell anyone and went zipping around Taoyuan.
I’m curious about that too. Maybe because he’s Taiwanese and old?
Bingo
They are currently testing over 200 students and faculty from Kangchiao Linkou.
Let’s see what the results show.
Hopefully nothing.
Focus Taiwan has posted a report on today’s three newly reported domestic cases—all workers at the previously mentioned Novotel Hotel next to Taoyuan Airport.

The CECC also reported four imported cases, including a Taiwanese man who returned to Taiwan on March 30 from a work trip to Kazakhstan, an Indian man who arrived in Taiwan for work in February
Another one of those long-incubation-period shhh-definitely-an-imported-case-shhh cases, too.
According to the article, this Indian person also had shortened quarantine period for business travelers (5 days), so it makes me more worried. Would be interesting to see if the contacts test positive for antibodies.
