Video Shows Huge Economic Impact of Aggressive Efforts to Fight COVID-19!

We have heard about how Taiwan is one of the countries that has done one of the best jobs of fighting COVID-19 from early testing, to contact tracing, to wide use of masks. We have heard Republicans push the talking point that "the cure should not be worse then the disease" and that aggressive efforts to fight COVID-19 would cause economic devastation. Republicans push the idea that we must choose between economic growth versus fighting COVID-19 as though these two options were mutually exclusive.

Well, here is a video of a travel vlogger in Taiwan touring Taiwan a few weeks ago in the middle of the worldwide pandemic. This video shows the impact of such measures on the day to day life on Taiwan citizens.
