    Not sure why the response to COVID-19 was such a clusterfuck. It's not like there weren't other recent responses from which to follow:

    1. The SAR outbreak in 2003.
    2. The Ebola outbreak in 2010.

    So Taiwan will have to keep borders shut / quarantine for 14days before entry or face that they'll have to suffer it sooner or later.

    So they've just delayed it.

    Because WHO / Bill Gates wanted to over hype it to cause as much chaos as possible in order to reduce the population from the effects of lockdown being wars, famine and poverty yes we have these to look forward to, yeahhh!!

    Here's the problem. We have devastated our economy and devastated millions of people's financial well being over hyperbolic epidemiological models. And we have endangered ourselves in future pandemic outbreaks because so many citizens are now understandably distrustful of what the epidemiologists and immunologists are saying. And because of the hyperbole, some States are still keeping businesses shut down, shelter in place orders intact, and are still talking about schools being closed for the Fall of '20.

    Dr. Fauci has been all over the place on this. One extreme to the other. We went from "flattening the curve" in March and gravitated to "find a cure" before our lives can resume.

    New York and New Jersey literally sentenced thousands of seniors to death by moving infected hospital patients into senior assisted living homes - all in an effort to keep open hospital bed capacity. They sacrificed the elderly for the young and immunized the nursing homes from legal tort liability. Only the young never needed the hospital capacity. The US Military hospital ships, the military hospital tents and staff, the thousands of ventilators that were never used.

    Dr. Fauci and the epidemiologists need to admit that they were wrong and they need to issue a call for Americans to get back to their 'normal' lives. Just letting certain States continue on with overbearing and draconian shelter-in-place orders and keeping businesses closed is causing irreparable and permanent damage and to people's lives, livelihoods and quality of life.

    The epidemiologists and immunologists are causing far more harm to citizens and our Countries than COVID. There is no sense of proportion, no balancing of risks, and they are simply sewing distrust and disdain for their profession and their future predictions and warnings in the eyes of the public and with leaders. They are their own worst enemies.

    Well said 100% agree.

    UK people to scared to send kids back, kids where never affected, some will never leave there houses again literally.

    There not going to admit they got it wrong, explains why the news over here is all the MP that drove 260miles during lockdown, distraction from the uncomfortable truth!
