Offer 10 Line Points or a 7-11 discount. People would go crazy for it. They should have given people a 500 coupon to get a vaccine and there would have been riots to get jabs. None for foreigners until almost the end, and then only for APRC holders.

Even if the next words are âseriously, thoughâ indicating the preceding was not serious?
I donât remember buttons playing a large part in any. I didnât mean to imply the app was an indication of a coming Orwellian state. I have it myself. I was trying to be silly, just a little, but these are silly days and Iâm not good at it.

I got the alert and I donât live and have not visited that area of the city this month so I think the 600,000 number might include people like me that didnât need the alert, but got it anyway.
For reference: I live about a km East of Taipei Main.
Ha, I think we have a few of the Freedom Warriors in ourranks though
I either havenât seen them, ignored them, or have their accounts on ignore.
My wife just said 20 cases today, including one in Kaohsiung. Donât know where she got the info from, but sheâs usually reliable with this stuff.

Now thatâs weird. Is he appealing for the Taipei ren to come for testing?
If you havenât caught up yet the scare campaign is being used to have Taiwan fully vaccinated faster. Taiwanese are not willing to vaccinate and the government knows that. Talk to anyone out of your circle and you will see. We need people vaccinated or we will be the only country left behind meanwhile everywhere else is recovering. Taiwanese folks are stubborn and will only vaccinate for self benefit or fear. Since the benefit strategy didnât work, government will instill fear in them.
I believe they will test more after the high school exam and more positives will appear more people will be in fear and go get the vaccination. Or they might wait until after 5/20 to not interfere in the president event thing.
I was there for 5 min during one of the days and got the alert. Pretty insane if they can pin down to this level of accuracy.

Im resigned to high restrictions, if not a lockdown now. Just seems to be a matter of when.
But itâs only 1:30. Press conference isnât until 2:00.
If there were vaccines available.
The leakers to the press make some extra money to get a scoop out.

Letâs face it, Taiwanâs vaccine acquisition and rollout has been shit.
Ordered late. Didnât order enough. Didnât promote the vaccines enough. Didnât implement mandatory vaccinations for pilots and medical workers.
Then, the rollout itself is bogged down needless beaurocracy. It shouldnât take close to 2 hours to get a jab when places like UK are doing it in 5 minutes. Get rid of the red tape and faff.

If Taiwan was connected to a landmass there would be total chaos right now.
Setup a stall outside Dr. Chen. Have a NHI card reader kept there. Swipe, jab, repeat âŚ

Yes. Testing centers are being set up, and people who were in the Wanhua danger zone and experiencing symptoms are also being encouraged to come in for testing.

No mention yet if theyâve reduced the ridiculous price of testing
