I'm in Taiwan, _and_ currently have COVID (at home quarantining now, feel completely fine). The spike is higher than it's ever been for infections, but hospitalizations and deaths are basically zero. There were two deaths _in the whole country_ today both over 70 years old, vaccinated, with previous complications. Hospital beds are sitting at 30-40% empty. Things are going just fine.
Government called up the businesses I'd been to over the last couple of days and got them to take a test and quarantine at home for a couple of days. I'm at home quarantining for 10 days which I would have done anyway. They even sent me a box of snacks, some garbage bags, and extra tests.
Honestly I can't think of a better, more reasonable policy, and result than what we're doing right now over here.
