Another pandemic will come. Here’s what we can learn from Taiwan’s efforts to fight this one
...
In December 2019, Taiwan‘s government learned that at least seven atypical pneumonia cases had been reported in Wuhan, China. Because of Taiwan’s proximity to China and the number of flights back and forth, it was expected to have the second-highest number of Covid-19 cases worldwide.
Instead, Taiwan has had one of the lowest Covid-19 death rates in the world. Thanks in part to a sophisticated digitized health care system and a mandatory two-week quarantine for all travelers, life in Taiwan went on with relative normalcy. But then, in May 2021, a new wave of cases complicated the country’s success.
So how did Taiwan, the ninth-most densely populated nation in the world, avoid a more severe spread of a highly contagious virus for so long? And what lessons can be learned from their response to the outbreak?

Ditto.GRA said:I have no problem with those who decide not to get vaccinated and suffer serious consequences as a result; I'm a firm believer in the right to terminal stupidity, as long as everyone involved made that decision for themselves; maybe it's time for a Darwin Awards culling going forward.
Exactly! Kids under 12 can't be vaccinated yet. Apparently, folks who have had transplants may develop no antibodies after being fully vaxxed. An acquaintance I know who is a FB friend of mine did have a kidney transplant and is in that boat after receiving both doses of Pfizer (IIRC). She posted about it on FB including a reputable news source on this subject. Can post that later if I haven't already.GRA said:The problem, of course, is that they can get others sick and/or allow the virus to mutate so it gets even worse, affecting people who didn't volunteer to be participants in the first group's stupidity.

Since The Governator was a Republican, hopefully some of the anti-mask, anti-vax, COVID is overblown Republicans will listen...
