This is the problem we have with a return to anything approaching normality.
And why would you expect a change of course (loosening of restrictions) right now as we are still climbing the BA.5 curve?
We’re not changing course because BA.5 infections are high. So, how does that ever end?
“Fucking farcical” doesn’t begin to sum this up.
Oh yes, the unvaccinated will be a thing of the past soon. At 20 odd a day, I’m surprised any are left.
And as reported cases do go down again, as they are apt to do: “We can’t risk loosening restrictions now because cases will increase again.”
We’re speaking of the unvaccinted pensioners. This virus will—beyond today’s number—keep finding them.

They have signalled very clearly that more changes are coming as we hit the backside of the BA.5 wave. I have predicted 0+7 is coming in the Fall, and based on everything I’ve seen I still think I will be right.

A fair number of the handful of purported COVID deaths each day are vaccinated as well, to some degree or another, so it might take a while…
Number 3 is a good one. Some sterling work by the CDC there. Her chronic disease history was “History of chronic disease (Survey)” and her COVID symptoms were “Survey”.
Sounds serious. I’m surprised she reached her 90s. If only she’d gotten vaccinated, she might have lived another 90 years. 
Hope so, though I’m not too sure of the value of the “+7” at that point.
As will all viruses.
My modeling? My modeling? Yesterday I predicted 93 million cases for today. I think we can be clear that my modeling is strictly for the catwalk.
Liked for candour.

Taiwan recorded nearly 47,000 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday—the most in a single day since the end of June. The government attributes the uptick in cases to the highly contagious Omicron subvariants.
Somebody clear things up for me please: you arrive and quarantine for 3 nights staying behind closed doors. What happens after that? Can you check out of the hotel down to your “regular” hotel/Airbnb, and just need to get tested every morning?
I’ve been referring to this
Thanks, so same location for the whole 8 days. Although I heard friends say they ditched their hotel from day 4. Chabuduola.
EDIT: oh never mind lower in the article it says you can be at different locations.
Hmm, I’ve been doing home q so didn’t pay close attention to that. There’s a follow-up linked
Yes you can go to a normal hotel after that. That’s what my stepmom did anyways.
Q hotels are expensive as hell.

This is not permitted, even under the liberalized rules that took effect on September 1.

“Meanwhile, people who wish to change locations after completing the three-day quarantine – such as by moving from a quarantine hotel to a private residence – will no longer need to apply to the local government for permission to do so, he said.”
From my interpretation of this, it means an AirBnB would be ok?
