Good morning in sad, jealous tweets. All schools in Taiwan have been open since February. They did not listen to China or WHO in January and immediately masked up and shut down travel. They also traced the hell out of their outbreaks. They were practically done by February.

Fauci: "We have to admit it, that that mixed message in the beginning, even though it was well meant to allow masks to be available for health workers, that was detrimental in getting the message across." Should have just said, sorry, there's a shortage.https://twitter.com/NPRHealth/status/1278476238189780997 …

This is how done Taiwan is. They had a Pride parade. With any epidemic, acting today is always better than acting tomorrow. They acted in January.https://twitter.com/oramyw/status/1278330348170960898 …

Outdoors with a light breeze isn't so "safe" either per this research. Bottom line is always wear a mask/face shield in public places.https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.0011960 …

You cannot compare an island with less than 24 million inhabitants to a country like the US.

You're right -- they have a much higher population density overall, so it should have been easier for us to contain the spread nationwide.

That’s not how herd immunity works. Taiwan successfully *contained* the virus, preventing spread. Most of the population is therefore naive, and will not show any immunity. Also, we still don’t know if exposure confers immunity, or for how long. Not all viruses work this way.

Beaches are one of the least risky environments. Indoor bars and restaurants. House parties. Indoor gatherings where unmasked people talk. Not beaches.
