I do. Perhaps I am just delusional, but say daily cases were to reach 10k or below, then thereâs a good reason to think that there might be a policy change.

It keeps people in work!! 
Taiwan needs to pump out excuses (errr ⊠numbers) in order to justify its border restrictions and keep Quarantine establishments happy.
Many countries publish them on a regular basis, but very few have a daily presser. The former Peoples Republic of Australia (and any of its constituent republics) hasnât had pressers for at least 6 months, though the states still publish numbers on the Internet.
Then again, Australia (and most other countries) no longer has any Border restrictions, Quarantine, Testing on Arrival, etc before allowing people in.

Glad itâs including 4 doses these last two times. Maybe theyâll stop being delusional⊠just maybe.
Is there a limit to the length of a post? I am just thinking that MalcolmReynolds might have some issues once they get to 20 doses or more.

No. But we did reach 10000 replies on a topic once.
Was going strong on the next topic until it was closed and changed into a yearly thing.

Wouldâve been funnier if I had not put in the word âcharactersâ
I think theyâll just roll out a spike protein continuous-delivery system at some point, similar to an insulin pump. I suspect a couple of Forumosans might jump at the chance.

From the article: "He said that 4,629 children aged six months to five years received vaccine shots on Friday, bringing the vaccination rate of the age group to 13.6 percent. "
Border opening in September?
Donât think so. 3 cases of monkey pox already and not enough vaccines. Weâll go back to 14 + 7 in no time.

There will be a drop and then the autumn hike is expected. Hopefully they are wrong.
Scuttlebutt was that they would welcome tourists in September. Letâs see if that plan comes to fruition and is not derailed.
Forgive me for being naive!!! 3 imported. 0 local transmission. 300% ratio, 14 + 14 stat!!!
