You don’t need a lockdown if you can stop the virus getting in in the first place
RE: You don’t need a lockdown if you can stop the virus getting in in the first place
Is Taiwan TOTALLY CLOSED from the rest of the world? No flights coming in from anywhere?
This thing has been purposely spread in the United States
All these lockdowns about everybody else other than rioters looters and mostly peaceful protesters
That’s because they didn’t have Donald Trump for President, and an opposition party, plus the media to inflate the numbers.
Mandatory quarantine on entering. Negative test required to get out of quarantine and ‘into’ taiwan at large.
(last I heard).
And they masked up extensively initially.
Didn’t they get the memo? Count deaths _with_ Covid19. Not _from_ Covid19!
Haven’t read it but when I hear Taiwan and the countries around there I know that Coronaviruses are more common. So they have cross immunity. The more conronaviruses u have had the less COVID-19 affects u.
That’s because they didn’t need to poison their voters to get rid of a president that was going to evicerate political corruption.
I have lived in Taiwan several times. The answer is, an utter lack of crackpot views about masks (which Taiwanese people have worn for years without blubbering about difficulty breathing or whatnot), the willingness to behave non-selfishly and instead to do what is best for the country as a whole and, as a small island nation, the ease of eliminating dangerous entry from overseas. (Some foreigners, including Americans, are still subject to extensive quarantine upon arrival.)
Yuppers.
Taiwan knows China LOL!
They locked down and eliminated China’s introduction of the virus immediately.
The only plan that worked.
Isn’t the use of HCQ fairly prevalent in Taiwan (or, at least, it is readily accessible)?
Yeah, it’s a real mystery how not quarantining the healthy leads to a better outcome.
Epidemiologists are flummoxed.
“IS Taiwan closed to the rest of the world??
Taiwan
Taiwan has begun to reopen its borders to foreign nationals - they must apply for a special entry permit before traveling.
Entry restrictions
Taiwan has begun to reopen its borders to foreign nationals, provided they are traveling for reasons other than tourism or to visit friends. All visa waivers have been suspended, so travelers must apply for a special entry permit with a Taiwan representative office overseas before traveling.
Travelers who already hold a valid Alien Resident Certificate (ARC) or Alien Permanent Resident Certificate (APRC) do not require a visa to enter Taiwan.
Entry requirements
Foreign nationals must have a medical certificate in English with a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test result issued within 72 hours prior to departure to Taiwan.
Travelers must complete and submit a “Quarantine System for Entry Form” before departure.
The following visitors may be exempted from negative COVID-19 test: personnel on diplomatic or official business, migrant workers, students, those coming to Taiwan for emergency situations, and crewmembers on vessels arriving in Taiwan.
Passengers arriving from the Philippines are subject to medical screening on arrival.
Quarantine requirements
Travelers are subject to a 14-day home quarantine.
During the quarantine period, the individual is to stay home (or at the designated location) and may not use public transportation or leave Taiwan. Travelers may be asked to install a local SIM card if they do not already have one. Mobile phone location monitoring will be used as part of the quarantine management process by local authorities. Short-term business travelers may apply for a shortened period of home quarantine.
Transiting rules
Foreign passengers, including people from Hong Kong and Macau, are now allowed to transit through Taoyuan International Airport. Holders of People’s Republic of China (PRC) passports will not be permitted to transit in Taiwan. Those transiting will need to board connecting flights of the same airline company they fly in on. Transits must last less than 8 hours. Transit passengers who need to wait for more than one hour will remain separate from other passengers and stay in a separate area. For more information on Taiwan’s travel restriction policy, see here.
Amazingly dishonest report!
So much garbage.
Taiwan did so well because it knew China lies.
I did read at the beginning of this pandemic that Asians have fewer of the receptors that Covid latches into. Also, what drugs were the population allowed to receive? SARS also is a component of COVID, if you believe like I do that it was created I. A lab.
