Coronavirus - Taiwan Open August 2021

Same same. Mandatory detention/ quarantine. You’re being kept in offical custody. However you want to describe it. I guess you could call quarantine hotels, ‘Freedom Centers’ as well.

With a survival rate higher than 98.2%

Scientists don’t classify Covid as ‘extremely’ contagious. They say, ‘highly.’ CDC Yale NCBI

It’s not even considered a high-risk pathogen:

“As of 19 March 2020, COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK. The UK Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens (ACDP) is also of the opinion that COVID-19 should no longer be classified as an HCID. ….They have determined that several features have now changed; in particular, more information is available about mortality rates (low overall)UK Gov

How much do they pay? Will the government cover your salary whilst you have to stay in the hotel as well as all costs you incur? If you’re a parent and have to ferry kids to school/ take care of them, or a single parent, that’s an added huge inconvenience. What happens if your spouse has to stop working (unpaid leave) to take full-time care of the kids while you are in quarantine for two weeks? That’s now two salaries cut. Government will cover that?

Still treated like a criminal. Are you even tested for Covid prior to moving to hotel quarantine? :thinking:

Which countries round up close contacts and shepherd them into government-monitored facililties when they are considered a close contact? Even Australia doesn’t do this.

We’re not talking about quarantining on arrival.
