Years ago, I was waiting in line for an attraction in Singapore. An American woman who lived there was behind me. I asked her what she thought about all the rules they have in Singapore and freedom. She said she had no fear going out at night in Singapore and that is freedom - fine with all the controls.

Everything is relative. The important thing right now is to put some of our political agendas aside to get this thing under control.

Another example from Taiwan. They started adding people's international arrival/departure records to their national health card. So, for people who have travelled to certain areas, a warning will pop up when their cards are swiped at the hospital / doctor's office. In the US, there is no way this can be done and done this quickly. In Taiwan, which is a democracy, there was really no objection to this move because people saw this as necessary and practical.

I am worried about catching this and get sick but I am more worried about me carrying it and giving it to people who are not healthy enough to survive this.
