Qingmingjie, Quarantine in Taiwan and life as normal With my Taiwanese economist+mother student yesterday, resuming lessons, the background noise was deafening. There she was in a coffeeshop or Familymart or 711, with noise laughter shouting bustle clatter behind her; yangmingshan national park between Taibei and XinTaibei. It's qingmingjie (tomb-sweeping day) holiday weekend now, so no work, and she had taken her daughters for cram lessons (as Taiwan tiger mums are wont to do) but today for fun in cake cookery class and as is also her wont, she had booked a lesson during waiting time. My point? Life as normal in Taiwan, she's back to work, coffeeing, snacking, mixing mingling. Social-distancing? Obviously not. Why not? ' We learnt during SARS' So why is the Taiwan, the Hongkong result so seemingly successful. Beats me(why delete ME?)!   |
