1 in 1000 people in Taiwan are in Quarantine? That’s pretty extreme. How much further are they intending to take this, I wonder? How many cases do we need to have before they stop hauling people off to quarantine? Chen’s statements so far indicate no endgame, other than something like “we need to prepare people to accept COVID”. This doesn’t seem to be the right way to do it.
I assume the reporter phrased it that way because CNY is a big deal. It’s like being locked up for Christmas. It’s cruel and unusual punishment.
