All these wearing of masks, actually robbers and the bad guys would have a field day.

Since everyone is wearing them, they won't look out of place.

“We have enough capacity to cooperate with the U.S.,” an official at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office, Taiwan’s de facto embassy to the U.S., told the Washington Examiner.

The dearth of masks presents a diplomatic opportunity for Taiwan, ...

Until now taiwanese themselves still need to queue for masks and have shortage as a person is limited to buy 9 mask every 14 days. 
 

but since they now on bad term with WHO they need more support from other countries and this mask diplomacy is a good start for DPP

they hijacked the mask manufactured by ST group that meant to ship to Singapore in January, now trying to be play nice guy.

Lots of countries have emergency resources requisition act...not surprising. We have that statute too... Chap 273. If you were in their shoes...wouldnt you appreciate a gahmen that thinks to protect its citizens first? And those ST masks were N95 improvised masks by the way which costs $6 per pc, not surgical masks. Right now, as a gesture of goodwill, pple give just accept with a smile lah.

Facebook and google operating in Singapore also abide by the SG pofma act, therefore i dun see why singaporean companies renting factories overseas in other countries cannot yield to that foreign countries's emergency demands.

Figures are better actually. Less than 30 of the unlinked are non-FW. That's the true figure of how effective our countermeasures are.

Those FW cases, bo pian, have to count them in. But as they are now isolated in their dorms, the numbers have little effect on cases outside.

Imported cases might rise again with the recent returnees from egypt and india. Just have to tough it out and hope for the best. But this group is also monitored and isolated, so still not so bad.

So in summary just have to let the virus run its course through the FWs, then things should be better. Just a matter of how long it will take. However, without solving the problem of cramped living conditions in the dorms, it's not really over. And tied to this are the FDWs, the maids. For how long can the employers hold them in and prevent them from going out on their off-days? These factors remain the weakest links, not really down to whether locals abide with the safe distancing or wear mask regulations.

"In early April, Taiwan's daily surgical mask output reached 13 million, more than four times its production level in early February, according to the government." https://focustaiwan.tw/politics/202004120016

Hope they have enough to support their people first. Needing no outside help in satisfying one's basic needs, this is very important now.
