You don’t need a lockdown if you can stop the virus getting in in the first place
That’s because they didn’t have Donald Trump for President, and an opposition party, plus the media to inflate the numbers.
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.)
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.
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.
Sucks that all of these healthy Taiwanese will be killed when China invaded on January 21st.
bttt
Didn’t Taiwan get on this far earlier than others. Think I read on FR that they blew whistle on the WHO/chicom coverup of when wuhan started
I only got past the first couple paragraphs before I was thinking genetic propensity
And then I thought of how few cases China is reporting...
Now I wonder if a virus can be developed to attack certain genotypes?
It is partly because Taiwan does not have a population which is obese and also pre-diabetic or diabetic.
Dr Lozano, the Cuban doctor who exposed the efforts of the Texas Board of Pharmacy to prevent filling of HCQ prescriptions, and who is a Trump supporter, referred to cv19 as primarily an American disease due to the above.
The people of Taiwan/ROC are very nice, smart and organized. I saw this first hand when I lived in Taipei in 1971 while I went to Chengchi University (a future President of that country was my classmate. Smart guy and nice as well all of my Chinese classmates and teachers).
This is why Peking/Communists fear a free ROC. It is an example of how freedom allows a people to grow and prosper.
This is what the Reds fear most. No wonder they buddy-up to the Bidens. Better to have greedy fools on your payroll than to let them wander around on their own. They might get a sane thought about things such as free speech, freedom, Tianamen Square was a bad thing, concentration camps aren’t nice, and playing around with deadly viruses could hurt us.
