It really isn’t important at all. The test counting has no purpose except to fill in a few minutes at the press conference. The width of the ‘wave’ has been more-or-less constant across the whole planet, including places like HK where the authorities went loonytunes. There’s no reason to expect that Taiwan is going to be exceptional here, so a peak within the next couple of weeks would be a reasonable guess.
I’m just wondering if Chen has a plan for retaining his 15 minutes of daily fame when it all just goes away. The press conference is going to be black comedy gold in July, I reckon. Anyone want to run a forumosa sweepstake on the date of the pivot to monkeypox?
