and then the president of Taiwan made a post on instagram praising his proactive approach to taping off playgrounds. Made a whole slide show of how awesome the tape was…random ass park objects with yellow tape draped on them. clap clap. absolute bizzaro world shit.
maybe that PHD really was store bought.
Preventing young people from socialising and getting exercise is such an achievement.
Additionally, in the UK, a positive Covid test at the time of death was not required to label it a “Covid death” either.
But it’s still a long quarantine. Things are better than last summer but then again this variant is pretty Much equivalent to a common cold or flu.
It IS IN FACT now a common cold virus. A very infectious one , but one that peaks and drops extremely rapidly.
So the population wide restrictions now are mostly nonsense in my book and completely unreasonable. .
There still some vestiges of yellow tape at my local park. Some of those paranoid folks love that stuff.
“As a precaution, both schools will be closed until Feb. 12 to 25”

Yup so I expect this covid zero nonsense should go on until December.
‘Those entering on business visas would be subject to the same quarantine rules as returning Taiwanese nationals, he said.’
Still quarantine.
They’re being allowed in though. Why not everyone?
12 million tourists fighting for hotels they HAVE to stay at? Can only imagine the prices.
Wow, that is some bullshit right there.
That’s from May of last year
Let them home quarantine.
Realistically, a PhD about international trade probably doesn’t give you any deep insights into the complexities of public health. Or governance in general. It’s worth pondering on the fact that 80% of government officials, in most countries, know no more about science than the average 14-year-old (because they opted to study unrelated things in high school).
I wonder if those posts really reflect her opinion, or if in reality she’s kept in a small room somewhere and only wheeled out for photo opportunities with cats, while a bunch of old men get on with running the country?
The tourists? Mostly no homes to quarantine in. Unless I’m missing a joke?

Chen Chi-mai studied medicine and received an advanced degree from NTU in preventative medicine.
Compared to the politicos in my country of birth (and I suspect in yours), folks like him are waaaaaaay better informed.

Is he? I dunno. I’m reminded of the aphorism “An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.”
It seems to me the world is suffering from a lack of polymath types who know a bit about everything and can quickly grasp (a) new facts and (b) the big picture. Doctors don’t seem to have that skill to any greater degree than anyone else. And then there’s this:
