Actually, Taiwan has done better. They've had no local cases for 14 days.

They did it by ignoring the WHO's advice and locking down early and then aggressively containing all cases, preventing a general outbreak.
They've been pursuing this since December 31st, when they issued a warning to the WHO about what was going on and locked down. The WHO ignored them.

They've taken 4 months to get to no new cases. From a much better starting point. With a much smaller population.
I'm very skeptical about what this guy is advocating.
- senderista 7y agoOne difference is that you can't say the word "Taiwan" in places like the WHO, and this guy may have been afraid to for similar reasons.
