I would, Taiwanese are extremely risk-adverse about absolutely everything and Taiwanese civil-servants are scared most of getting blamed for anything.

Here in the neighborhood they were doing one of these funeral things on the street.
I was heading into 7-11 this morning.
Pair of guys outside smoking. One was wearing his mask under his chin and the other, presumably, had his in his pocket or something. A third guy, dropping off a delivery, came by and wore no mask at all though he did apologize to the cashier and say he was leaving quickly.
He stopped for a smoke and a chat with the two gents outside before he got back in his truck as a customer sheepishly held his phone up for the clerk to see as he entered.
It was comforting to know that none of them could go to the beach though.

This is strange. My wife guessed it was a gay guy. Since all the contacts were guys. Has she got five from 2 and 2?
Itâs a gay guy, thatâs what I heard. He was hiding that as well as his covid adventures (while he had symptoms by the way). Why the media have to repeat his ridiculous tutor claims.
Yes. He is some kind of tutor but I donât think they were his students.
When I heard tutor, I was like what the heck?
Not sure why his job matters.
Bullshit cover storyâŚFake prudenessâŚSame as the tea shops.
This whole pandemic is driven by dodgy fuckersâŚLiterally !

I saw an elderly lady with a face shield, dodging traffic while crossing the street on a red light the day before yesterday. Priorities.

You can make a suggestion to the BMJ to add it to their list of virus vectors.

Weird choice of language in the article - doesnât social distancing need to be mutual/within a society?
This is just âstaying away from monkeysâ.

I was up at Qingtiangang 22nd May and I noticed a sign telling people to social distance from the buffaloes.
Edit sorry OT, meant to reply to @Andrew

Even if gov relaxes restrictions, wonât the mayors Ho and Ko (Ke?) just do a safety one-up like it seems they did with indoor eating and basically say no again?

People all over Ximending without masks or smoking or eating or chin masks. Everywhere around here. Also the local 711 allows people in without scanning or writing their name because âthey know them.â Just a quick wave.
