I agree, Taiwan of all countries arguably handled Covid best. It seems irresponsible to discuss Covid policies without reference to, and good understanding of, Taiwan. I found that people in the West, often simply don't believe me when I tell them that Taiwan didn't lock down at all, and had hardly any Covid deaths. Reactions I have come across have been: "yeah but Taiwan is a dictatorship" and "They are lying about numbers ..." The amount of ignorance is astonishing. I think it's a psychological problem: most people are perfectly happy to believe that their home countries have somewhat flawed political systems, but find it near impossible to accept that they are orders of magnitude worse than some others.
