I almost wonder if there is something environmental or genetic that is keeping this virus at bay in Taiwan. Seems to me many bullets keep getting dodged.
Thatās only the southerners. When I lived in Kaohsiung I never really left the south for a few years. When I eventually went north I noticed very little beetle nut use. Was like a different country
What I say is trust the CDC. Indeed they are transparent, and they report their errors. Diagnostic of a new disease is tricky, and medical staff read these reports or will be communicated the information. It is a learning process, avoid pretending that they donāt have their eyes on the ball or worse that they are trying to avoids cases.
To go back to my question, and I honestly didnāt want to comment more, what I asked about was this:
There an epidemy, this is exceptional time and if either think that:
doctors are too tired too keep their eyes on it
there are no testing guidelines from health officials
Then I can only respectfully disagree with you guys, but I am happy to hear your opinion.
I find justifying those assumptions by disgressing about problems in the NHI in normal time pretty unfair with the medical profession. (second times it happens today)
The CDC is also doing a great job being transparent and I understand that seing the mistakes in hindsight exposes earlier issues which might make them look bad. Itās good that people pick on them, the long term effect is to prevent mistakes to be repeated and greater efficiency and public confidence.
I didnāt mean to come across as picking on the CDC or the CECC, and donāt have any desire to pick on the doctors, nurses, or other medical personnel, either. I think they all have very tough jobs, jobs that I lack both the ability and the inclination to do.
The wife is going to buy anti fog glasses. Itās funny if you donāt wear glasses.
Personally I might prefer if people worse the transparent plastic masks over.their mouths so I could see what they are saying more clearly. Also I might prefer wearing them as well.
I donāt have a heavy beard, but what does appear is as gray as the contents of a crematorium urn. I shave every two days, so that I donāt look like an unhinged professor, but lately Iāve been lazier with my morning ablutions, only shaving every 3-4 days. Silver linings, indeed!
I have found myself not bothering to check the mirror anymore before I leave home to make sure I donāt have the smoothie I was just drinking around my mouth or in my beard.
