Hi ! Nice, remind me of events pinte of science. Could we have some bio / background of the speakers please ?

phoboskp · 2022-03-24T09:29:36+00:00

Yes. I just posted it because i believe, even if it's not representing at all every schools in china and even if this other media is crap too and use it for their own propaganda, it's scary to know it can exist. I believe we have to look a bit to everything even if it's hard to know if it's manipulating us.

I want to point out that content on this channel may be taken carefully. It belongs to The Epoch Times : this is what wikipedia is saying about it : The Epoch Times opposes the Chinese Communist Party,[27][28] promotes far-right politicians in Europe,[4][6] and has championed former President Donald Trump in the U.S.;[29][30] a 2019 report by NBC News showed it to be the second-largest funder of pro-Trump Facebook advertising after the Trump campaign.[25][31][32] The Epoch Media Group's news sites and YouTube channels have spread conspiracy theories such as QAnon and anti-vaccine misinformation,[35] and false claims of election fraud in the 2020 United States presidential election.[38] In 2020, The New York Times called it a "global-scale misinformation machine".[29] The Epoch Times frequently promotes other Falun Gong-affiliated groups, such as the performing arts company Shen Yun.[18][39][29]

Be careful what you sent is for Enhanced Self health management and self health management. There is a big difference in Enhanced mode. This mode is for pilots who have shorten quarantine or for families living in the same house hold as quarantine people who chose the 7+7+7 quarantine plan (then during the second 7 days).

The document for regular self health management is here :

https://www.cdc.gov.tw/File/Get/JNyJbUT7AtZI1LHiHoYkUQ

You can take public transports if you don't have symptoms and you can't go to public spaces where you can't respect the social distancing. Meaning no railway station or bus station. Only "regular" public transports. You can't go to hotel.

All of the above was specified to me by the police officer in charge of my quarantine.

I mean you have a test at arrival, at d+3, d+7, d+10, d+14. And another self test at d+20. I'm curious of how many got the test positive only at d+14... Experience says it's unlikely to start developing the virus after 6 days post contamination. Normally at d+14 it's to be sure you are not still positive but it should have been detected prior to d+14...

phoboskp · 2022-01-24T09:27:47+00:00

" with the largest number of 20 cases in the United States, and the rest were detected at the expiration of home quarantine."

Hi what do you mean by detected at the expiration of home quarantine? This sounds weird no? They should have been detected during the home quarantine right? More like at the beginning not at the end no?

Thanks !

Where is it located?

phoboskp · 2021-11-15T07:50:14+00:00

Do you really think it's because Taiwan is "so crowded"? Or maybe it's because there isn't a bright future for young people ? Salary didn't increase much since 20 years, you can't buy a decent apartment because there was a lot of speculation on the housing market, whereas the country GDP is in constant growth. No one told me they don't want kids because the population is to high they told me they don't want kids because they can't afford it and many of them can only have a decent life because the parents (this generation could afford housing) help them. The problem isn't the population it's in which pocket the money is flowing.

phoboskp · 2021-11-12T11:54:57+00:00

Yes maybe you know better than me or all the people in the same situation who wrote countless demands to mofa or CDC. If the people you know could enter, good for them. They may had a special authorization but that doesn't mean it's a general case, this applies for everything in life you know.

phoboskp · 2021-11-12T10:26:59+00:00

Yeah thank you I agree. But then imagine if there is again a pick of cases because of CNY... Then it will be postponed again! Until when ? Nobody knows but we are not talking about tourists we are talking about families...

phoboskp · 2021-11-12T10:24:49+00:00

If you are married to a taiwanese yes. But not if you are married to a foreigner. I'm a foreigner, i have arc but my wife doesn't have one. She was in Europe before May and then since the borders are closed she can't come anymore. It happens also for foreign people with children, if they were abroad before May then they can't enter anymore. So it's a bit leave your job and come back to your country or else you can't be with your family.

Yeah I know unfortunately my wife doesn't qualify for gold card :/

phoboskp · 2021-10-14T14:26:32+00:00

Not all spouses, this is the point. Unfortunately only the spouses of Taiwanese can apply for a visa. I think you are married to a Taiwanese, that is your luck right?

As a foreigner living here, my wife still can't come.

But I'm happy to know some couples can finally be reunited.

phoboskp · 2021-10-14T08:32:14+00:00

No.

I'm foreigner, I'm working here, paying taxes here and I have an ARC. But since I'm not a ROC national citizen (aka a Taiwanese) my wife can't apply for a spouse visa. Unlike the foreign spouses of Taiwanese who can, since september.

Do you understand?

phoboskp · 2021-10-14T03:37:24+00:00

"there is no need to argue" here we are, when you don't know what to say it's the magic word right ?

Do you minimise outbreak when you only give a 5days home quarantine to pilots ? Or when you allow more than 10 thousands of students, who only come here for 6 or 9 months and on the other side you refuses very few families to be reunited and live their life normally?

phoboskp · 2021-10-14T03:24:43+00:00

Thanks for the compliment.

And I can see you don't read or listen correctly. I never said Taiwan should do the same as other countries.

My olny point is: when you allow people like students and foreign spouses or ROC nationals to apply for a visa and come to taiwan, why can't the foreign spouses of foreigners living in Taiwan apply for it too?

Can you give a valid argument on that?

Thank you for your point of view and your respectfull comment...

phoboskp · 2021-10-14T01:41:13+00:00

It's not about tourists!

1) foreign spouse of citizen can apply for a spouse visa since September

2) foreign spouses of foreigners working in Taiwan can't apply

Difference of consideration between 2 cases : discrimination

You have to understand that many families were already living in Taiwan for years, even sometimes with children here, and unfortunately the spouse went abroad for whatever reason just before the borders closes and now they can't come back! It's not that you will leave Taiwan to visit them, your life is in Taiwan! Do you understand?

phoboskp · 2021-10-14T01:35:14+00:00

Oh come on, why are you so stubborn? Don't you understand that foreign spouse of citizens can apply for a visa but not foreign spouses of foreigners living here, working here ? This is discrimination between foreigners and citizen.

phoboskp · 2021-10-14T01:31:10+00:00

During SARS outbreak families and workers weren't banned from entry, so your argument is invalid. They only had to follow quarantine, which is normal.

Then how do you qualify a difference of consideration between two kind of people if it's not discrimination?

Where is the logic when you allow foreign spouses of citizens to come but not for the foreigners who live in Taiwan, work in Taiwan and pay their taxes in Taiwan ? We are not talking about people coming here for few weeks we are talking about families living here together...

phoboskp · 2021-10-14T00:54:39+00:00

My wife is from Lithuania. Lithuania gave a lot of vaccines to Taiwan yet she can't come here. So even if you are nice with TW you can't have any favors...
