You forgot Taiwan and New Zealand are islands and both compared had radically strategies from each other. There's no historical precedent for our response to a virus. If anything it made things worse.
Said this before, saying it again. Before long, the US national response to the ChiCom Flu will be considered a Vietnam-War-level national fuckup.
Notable article. Looks like "they" are trying to pave the way for these fucking "vaccine passports". Fuck these assholes, fully.
Added: Here's the latest bullshit from the county I live in. I simply don't believe anything "they" say.
COUNTY'S CORONAVIRUS CASES DECLINE BUT TIER SCORE RISES
• Move to Orange Tier no longer possible next week?
New cases of coronavirus among Monterey County residents decreased 16 percent this week, according to the latest data from the county health department, with 140 new cases over the last seven days, down from 166 one week ago.
But the California Department of Public Health today increased Monterey County's official tier score to 4.4 from last week's 3.8. At first look, the 4.4 score would seem to rule out the county's move into the Orange Tier on April 7, since a score lower than 4.0 is required for three weeks in a row before a county's move into a lower tier can take effect.
But there's another possibility that could move Monterey County into the Orange Tier next week, because the Orange Tier's eligibility level will increase to 5.9 once 4 million vaccine doses have been administered in the state's hardest hit regions. As of today, the vaccination level in those areas stands at 3,457,809 doses, and it's rising by more than 60,000 doses a day. At that rate, the number of doses in the hardest-hit areas should each 4 million next week — possibly just in time to put Monterey County in the Orange Tier despite a tier score of 4.0 or higher. Complicated? You bet. But we will keep an eye on everything for you.(Not to worry. "They" will just move the goalposts to keep fucking over as many people as possible. Guaranteed. - JS)
These charts show the county's recent progress through the tiers and the county's rate of new infections over the last 30 days. Below, you can also find our charts and tables depicting the epidemic's progress in various parts of the county and on the Monterey Peninsula.
This week's decline in new cases is partly due to the increasing pace of vaccinations in the county, with residents receiving almost 30,000 doses of the various coronavirus vaccines over the past week, according to the CDPH, bringing the total of doses administered here to 167,343. In California, the number of doses administered is up to 17.6 million, while in the United States, 149 million shots have been given, according to the CDC.(But not to me.

It was the increasing vaccination rates that led Gov. Gavin Newsom to announce last week that, effective April 1, everyone over 50 will be eligible to be inoculated.

MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUM ANNOUNCES REOPENING
After being closed since March 13 last year, the Monterey Bay Aquarium said this morning it would reopen with a series of members-only events May 1 to May 14. For details, click here. (This makes me happy. Have a family member who works there. - JS)
