On the flip side it's working in Taiwan and right wing media staying away from Taiwan.
No new cases in over 200 days
You can travel to Taiwan
As soon as you arrive, separated into 2 lines.
Those that have international service on phones and those that do not. If you are in the do not line, they have sim cards. All are given a digital thermometer and install a required tracking app on your phone. You then take a approved car to a hotel. You call authorities. You are required to quarantine at the hotel for 2 weeks. 3 meals a day will be left outside your room. You are to call the authorities every day reporting your temp and how you are feeling. Any sign of sickness, taken directly to a hospital. After 2 weeks, free to leave room must must still call authorities every day for another week reporting temp and how you feel.
This is how you keep an economy growing and restaurants full with no more need to social distance as the virus is completely eliminated.
Taiwan does not mess around.

Sadly in America people would be crying about the Constitution or something if they had to have their temperature checked at the airport....

lol... Donny would have actually won re-election had he taken Nancy’s offer.

That wasn't a difference maker, but you already know that.
No Stimulus now until 2021 if Nancy wants her $2.2T package.
We could get skinny UI benefits extension, business closure assistance, school assistance bill in lame duck session
But I think Nancy will wait until Georgia's Jan 5th run offs to see if she needs to compromise
So America will wait and Nancy will eat her $15/pint ice cream in front of her $20K Freezers
And scream that the GOP is holding up relief for struggling Americans.
Once the Dems lose at least one of the GA runoffs & they should lose both
Nancy won't get as good of a package as Trump/Mnuchin were offering
And all this waiting since late October will have been a waste
The willingness to do a Stimulus Deal will be waning as the vaccine rolls out and it is clear there the Pandemic is ending.
So well done overplaying your hand again Nancy, the only thing that saves you now is a GA sweep on Jan 5th.

What's working, the PCR test? Why would a test with up 97% false positives work better in Taiwan?

I hate it when that damn Constitution gets in the way of the Government limiting citizens freedom.
It's like someone a long time ago saw all of this government over reach before.
Amazing stuff, I bet their is a museum out there somewhere Ed can report back on.
The good news is there are countries all over the world that don't have these pesky founding documents like the US Constitution.
Taiwan for one, what a country. They are just warming up to their future of new personal freedoms under President Xi.
Just ask Hong Kong, they are even more advanced than Taiwan and are loving their new reality.
LMAO

Still blows my mind that Hong Kong protestors were waving American flags.

You really don't understand that region
HK and Taiwan are totally different
Hong Kong is not independent, Taiwan is
If anything, Taiwan's democracy scares China.
Right now they are huge trading partners
No way the Mainland govt does anything to upset that applecart. Just too much money at stake.

Taiwan is doing very well TP but you don't need to bend the truth. From Worldometers who publish the self reported information from most of the countries in world. Taiwan 617 total cases, 6 NEW CASES, 7 deaths and 62 active cases. That is yesterdays report.

If Taiwan was using the same testing methods popular here in all the Covid runaway states, they to would have high numbers of Covid positive cases.

If those people were dumbass libbies, they would have immediately fell to their knees with clasped hands. Then they would have pleaded with the cops and begged:

"Please don't take me to jail, massa!"
"I promise not to be a bad (mental) slave anymore, massa!"
"I will shine your shoes to make up for it, massa!"
"Please take the rest of my rights away from me too because I deserve it, massa!"

That's what a libbie would do. 😂😂
