> One reason they are not removing it is because the government does not want to be seen as being "wrong" about covid policy. I'm in Taiwan and this doesn't track. Taiwan has succeeded because they have continually adjusted according to research. They were always ahead of the game, having been the ones to alert the WHO of the existence of Covid (see the timeline [1]). There are a lot of politics here, like anywhere. Opponents to the current administration are looking for an edge to break through what's been a phenomenal response from the government. The challengers' chance will come eventually, but I'm not sure it will come as a result of the government's handling of this pandemic. In my opinion, the challengers' attempts to win small battles over which-day-quarantine-should-be-discarded is likely to make them appear more frantic than organized. Rather than organizing, they've been wasting breath over minor quibbles week after week for the entirety of the last two years. It's really kind of unfortunate because instead of competing with better ideas, they keep trying to undermine, yet in doing so they have mostly undermined themselves.
