In the most extreme case, Taiwan requires a one million dollar fine for those who violate the mandatory home quarantine (that&#8217;s twice the median annual salary in Taiwan).  If that isn&#8217;t frightening enough, they will also publish your name hoping to shame you and your family! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Don&#8217;t be this guy &#8211; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"and his name is Chen Tse (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.taipeitimes.com\/News\/front\/archives\/2020\/03\/26\/2003733389\" target=\"_blank\">and his name is Chen Tse<\/a>, who just couldn&#8217;t resist <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"hanging out at an internet cafe for 72+ hours (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.taiwannews.com.tw\/en\/news\/3904106\" target=\"_blank\">hanging out at an internet cafe for 72+ hours<\/a> instead of staying home.

Perhaps they should?  It&#8217;s hard to practice social distancing in contact sports.  Or perhaps we are simply fooled by randomness, and looking to mimic countries that simply haven&#8217;t had major confirmed outbreaks yet (they also haven&#8217;t done much testing, other than new arrivals for imported cases).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, please follow whatever orders and social distancing your community is mandating.  Perhaps you need to endure a few things &#8211; laggy internet, dancing alone, or NBA Jam on the emulator.   But it keeps us all safer.
