Sure, what about Taiwan? Is there anything that Taiwan did which was significantly different from what South Korea or Singapore did to prevent the wide spread of the virus?
- tim333 7y agoOne interesting thing is rather than stop flights from Wuhan they had inspectors ride on the flights and check the passengers mid flight and then quarantine anyone questionable on arrival.
- tooltalk 7y agowhat's the difference between checking them in mid-air versus at the port of arrival?
- robocat 7y agoI am guessing, but: 1. They can make someone with a temperature wear a mask immediately, reducing transmission to others on the plane, and containing them on arrival. 2. It avoids crowding and possibly cross-contamination on arrival at a testing station. 3. It prevents delays for passengers.
- tooltalk 7y agoWouldn't it make more sense to test and ask all passengers to wear masks before they board the plane? By the time they are flying in crowded airplane, it's too late. This approach doesn't seem to make much sense.
