14) One other note - in countries like Taiwan that know how to fight Coronavirus, they check temperatures of everyone, every time they enter a business (along with ratting them out if they are sick). They know they won’t catch carriers that do not yet have a fever, but I suspect those who do have a fever are spewing out far more virons than non-fever carriers, so if you stop those with a fever, you’ve cut 90 to 99% of the virons for a given environment - and then add masks (for all people) and you can pretty much assure that no one picks it up in the community...which has been the case in those countries. Social distancing also has the same effect as masks, reducing the concentration of virons being breathed by others, if a person is a carrier. If you’re outdoors and 6 feet away from a carrier - assuming that the carrier isn’t sneezing on you, you’re safe, easily.
15) So, a multi-faceted approach to this virus would be the following:
a) Identify carriers with symptoms and get them off the streets (via massive temperature checking)
b) Trace and quarantine close contacts with identified carriers
c) Require the use of masks for all people in public
d) Put in place social distancing to avoid unnecessary risks due to high concentrations of people
They’re also really into washing hands and sanitizing, but I’m not sure that’s a big factor for Coronavirus.

I see you have commievirus disease.
“I see you have commievirus disease.”
Just pointing out what works. Taiwan just went a week WITHOUT any new cases, by the way.
We’ll see how our ‘experiments in other approaches’ does here.
