doing quarantine due to a rule and being locked up in a dorm or home with no endorsing rule are completely different.
in a luxury room just for yourself.

You claimed most of the rest of the country was doing the same.
Which is BS.
Also you signed up for that. They didnāt. They also may have much longer restrictions than two weeks.

The 2pm news conference telecast is reporting 0 new cases in Miaoli today. Great news if true.
And the new case count across the island is 174.
If we can beat back this virus, it will be city-by-city.
So exactly 0 Taiwanese live in non-student dorms ?
Good newsāthe housing association has replaced the racist notice encouraging residents to illegally keep foreign caretakers indoors.
Still refusing to acknowledge foreign workers having any kind of agency, but baby steps in the right direction.

Just wondering if a foreigner owned housing complex were to put up a sign saying Taiwan nationals with hukou are prohibited from entering due to covid - please cooperate. What would be the reaction ā¦

Likely the same thing that happened when apartment complexes were putting up notices saying foreigners not allowed to enter: unwanted media attention and quick backpedaling.

Right. At least itāll make a point in the press. Whether get the point or no is another issue ā¦
Exactly.
depending on outliers to support your argument isnāt a wise choice
Iām not the one doing that. But in any case, the number of Taiwanese with hukou living in their rusty grilled homes have spread way more virulent droplets than any other group. Thatās not me talking. Itās CECCās numbers.

show me the percentages and Iāll agree
about 700,000 migrant workers
about 23,000,000 citizens
how many covid cases for each group?
Percentage over the entire population is not relevant here. If Iām infected and I go around and sit next to 5 people, their chance of getting infected is the same, whether the rest of my āraceā in the country is spread out in thousands or millions.
Itās the local cluster population thatās relevant. And from what Iāve read about the super spreaders in Novotel, CAL and prostitution houses, it was 100% nationals with hukou.

then show the percentage of migrant workers in that dorm vs the percentage of citizens in Wanhua or wherever you like
itās still a game of percentages
By their original regulations, domestic caregivers were also prohibited to go out, but their caretakers and other members living together were not.

I donāt need to. Itās your claim that itās beneficial to lock up migrant workers, never mind the fact they theyāre not the super spreaders. So letās see your data backing up your claim.

I never said that. I just said itās something to consider. in fact, I suggested they should break out, consequences be damned
Iām not bothered by it enough to search for numbers
if I had to bet, Iād bet migrant workers have a relative higher percentage of infection and that dormitories are more conducive to spread
thatās all Iām saying, feel free to disagree
Allegedly migrant factory workers in Tainan are being told to they are to be locked down for 30 days by their employer(s)

I feel slightly sorry for the companies involved; theyāre caught between a rock and a hard place. The government knows they have no legal leg to stand on to enforce these ārulesā, so theyāre outsourcing the dirty work to company bosses - who are, in effect, being told to do something illegal at armās length on behalf of the county govāt, on pain of punishment. This is truly dystopian stuff.

I want to see the CEO and the workers in the same company in forced quarantine cells. Letās see how that would turn outā¦
