On the other hand the measures these countries are taking are draconic. Not saying that the US is doing the right thing. Obviously they are failing.
... What about them were Draconic?

Oh, no, having to wear a mask, and self-quarantine if you arrive from another country. 😱️
And yet a Republican will likely win the Presidency in the near future thanks to America's political cyclical voting patterns.
No avatar and thick as shit anti mask nonsense. What a fucking shock.
im not anti mask at all.
I am used to masks because I have lived in asian countries before.
maybe. I was referring to certain measures that are in place which I believe are limiting personal freedom too much. for example you are not able to enter Japan at the moment if you are non-japanese. it doesnt matter if you have family there or if you had a negative covid test. you just cant enter.
in regard to taiwan I fully agree with all those measures. they are less strict then what you see in Japan as well.What is draconic with the measure of face mask regulations, mandatory quarantines for all arrivals, and contact tracing?
And people are going normal event like kite festival, pride parade, etc.
Taiwan stages LGBT pride parade 'for the world'
Taiwan has escaped the worst of the pandemic while hundreds of parades around the world have been axed.
I think the word draconic was misplaced. In particular seeing how the US handled it and how many people died this year. I disregarded the fact that even wearing masks is a political thing in the US.
Then what exactly is draconian about taking the needed measures early and being an a good place with it now? While they've gone back to some sense of normality we're rapidly headed back towards lockdowns again elsewhere
I'm in Victoria and as horrible as the second wave and extended lockdown has been, I am honestly so glad our government took it serious and we didn't end up with widespread outbreaks like the US. If there is one thing I can say without a doubt from our second wave is that the hard lockdown worked and we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Yeah lol. We're going back down to level 1 precautions as of Wednesday night (NZ Time)
Speaking as someone who went through the most intense lockdown in the world, we had 100 days of life as normal after that, and after about 2 months of more relaxed lockdown and social distancing, masks etc, we're about to go back to normal again. I'd take a few months of lockdown to get back to normal over the chaos in the US and other places any day.
I think we have been handling the situation pretty well here in germany too until late august/ september. now the cases are going up again (fortunately not as bad as in the rest of europe so far)
absolutely
as I said maybe I have misworded what I was trying to say. I was thinking about measures that have taken place in korea or japan for example where many businesses still are not allowed to operate normally even though the infection curve has flattened.
what I am getting from korea and japan from friends and family is that there are still many restrictions in place that would prevent festivals or partying.
even if you have family? my father in law died due to corona in japan and I couldn't attend the funeral. If you are being tested and going in quarantine anyway it shouldnt matter if you are japanese, australian german or whatever.
And the ways that this incompetent leadership managed to manipulate incompetent people through Facebook to garner likes and turn them into votes.
