Hahaā¦ so while this would be sort of fun, it doesnāt actually solve the problem of evading home quarantine (asking for a friend of course, wink, wink)
Would call forwarding to a second phone work?

I hope this is all idle chit chat.
If not, how about we forward this thread to the CDC and they can decide if it is worth tracking your IP address from your posts here to pay a special visit.
I mean come on! This isnāt a game or joke. The ENTIRE world is faced with this right now. People are dying.
Take your quarantine seriously, suck it up for 14 days and donāt put peopleās lives at risk.
Well, go ahead and forward this idle chit chat to the CDC!
ā¦ back on topic, so you know how certain things need to be done in person, like getting cash from an ATM? If I run out of cash, should I ask the CDC to go to the ATM and get some more for me?
Anyway, I obviously donāt need cash if Iām stuck at home for the next two weeks. But what about other stuff, like, umm, food? Is the CDC going to deliver food to me? Or am I stuck eating whatever is available on Uber Eats? I havenāt tried Carrefour online delivery but I suppose that Iāll have to soon
And yes, this really is idle chit chat. But I also think that youāre taking this WAYYYY too seriously
If in Taipei, yep, they do deliver food. And medication. And medical attention via video conference.
Wow, thatās sort of cool to know. I suppose Iāll have to ask them about it the next time that they call me. Iām assuming that if itās āfreeā food then it would be your typical NT50 lunch box or maybe a couple of meat bunsā¦ not complaining, I really wouldnāt expect them to buy a full meal from say Eddieās and send it over to me
Interesting, you are actually still in your quarantine time, right? May I ask some questions?
Do they also send people to the apartment/house to check?
So far nobody has come out to physically check that Iām in my homeā¦ they basically call me once per day
So almost there then, when is āFreedomā due to be granted?
Yes have 3 more days to goā¦
I have a permanent residence
Forgot to ask them about food deliveryā¦ I basically use Uber Eats when Iām craving something specific. Otherwise, I have instant noodles, frozen foods and various other odds and ends at home. I have a helper to go out to pick up stuff from Carrefour as well
Daily check is basically a phone call. They ask if I feel ok or sickā¦ what Iām surprised about is that theyāve figured out that they need to have an English speaker call me
Iām free to leave the house on March 21!
Congrats, you survived.
Of course, it would be really ironic if there was a sudden spat of cases that now forced EVERYONE to undergo self-quarantineā¦
I couldnāt find the other thread about quarantine, the more updated one, can someone point me to it? Also, about trash disposal. I live in a building with trash collection so I donāt need to dispose in the trash truck but I need to take the elevator to the level where the cleaning staff deal with trash. If I am in quarantine am I allowed to do that (take the elevator)? I read somewhere here on Forumosa that they have trash collecting service for quarantine folks. Would that work in my situation since I will quarantine at home and I the trash collection is done inside my building?
Youāll still need to have them come collect your trash. They want to keep the quarantine trash separate, I guess. When we did it, they said they were talking it somewhere in Taipei to burn it.
Where can you request that? With the Lizhang or directly with the officer who will call to check on you?
We were given a paper in our little care package (given to us by the police) with phone numbers to call for trash disposal in each county.
Did you receive that package On the first day of the quarantine ?
Yes. We arrived in the morning and they called us in the afternoon to see if they could come by to give us the package. They just dropped it in front of our door with no contact.
I quarantined in a Taipei hotel and nobody gave me a bag of goodies??
