D16@30 May 2021 Plain Covid Diary in Taiwan

added 328 local cases, 10 deaths. 30 May 2021 (Sun)

I was woken up by thunders and heavy rain at 5 AM, it's raining!! It's rarely good news recently since the surge. All citizens were happy with this godsend. The rain can solve the biggest three issues in Taiwan now:

I hope the rain can last longer, at least one week.

Many delivery services have been thriving, to help people order fruits and meats from home. But it also causes some problems that we haven't faced. Like the postponed delivery, I've been struggling with how to arrange the ordering timing.

The mayor of New Taipei City is useless, he's threatening citizens that the city would raise the alert from 3 to 4. And doing nothing but made a lot of slogans. Tens of countries showed us what would happen if a government announced to lockdown. People would be in panic and binge buying in crowded supermarkets and then cause cluster infection. Citizens would start moving from infected cities to uninfected cities, then the result would be another bigger infection.

Kaohsiung ordered a whole hotel for homeless people, instead of strenuously tracking them on the streets, putting them in a hotel with individual rooms is much easier to manage.

The acquisition of vaccines has been all related to politics. Too much disinformation and misinformation are going virus, I have to doubt every piece of information that I read, but it takes a lot of time.

A restaurant put a sign with a mathematical question in front, told the patron that they are not allowed to have meals in the restaurant, they can only order a takeaway without solving the puzzling mathematical question.
