30 of 32 (62.50%) reported deaths

Is it the CECC or you that messed up the percentage?

@MalcolmReynolds

Wang Bisheng, the central epidemic commander, said yesterday that “there are roughly five directions for discussing the loosening of epidemic prevention measures.”

Jesus. They need five “directions” (don’t really know what that means) to discuss going from not needing to wear masks outdoors (>90% of people still do) to not needing to wear masks indoors (>90% of people still will)? The great plodding Taiwanese striptease continues.

For @Icon A nice hairy beard to warm your spirits!

I don’t miss cattle ranching during the winter, although the view is stunning.

@BiggusDickus

What you’ve posted is basically cultural relativism.

Hmm…not really. Not as I understand the term. It’s just a personal opinion. Whatever you want to label it, that’s fine. I guess.

Again, theoretically, democracy sounds great.

[the_bear]

We must be nearing the end of the road no? Ten million known cases….what more is there to fear? Even for the average Johnny 台灣人, there can’t be much left in the tank.

[Taiwan_Luthiers]

They’re delaying announcing the mask loosening… What the f are they waiting for

[the_bear]

There no point in mask loosening. The feckers refuse to loosen their masks anyway​:rofl:

[gareth186]

It’s a big decision for a nation where most of the population remain convinced masks keep them safe despite the 10 million infections.

[finley]

But if they hadn’t all worn masks it would have been so much worse!

[jimipresley]

When I go out for a walk, 100% of people that I see are wearing stupid little paper masks. How stupid do you have to be to think that your dumbfuck little mask is affording you protection?

Baaa baaa.

[gareth186]

They might be lifting the mandate but I suspect many establishments will still insist everyone must wear a mask anyway. I just hope we don’t get a whole raft of new regulations and advisories, but I’m not holding my breath.

[the_bear]

I doubt they can insist. I doubt most shop staff give the slightest fuck.
