md	The crisis is also bringing back the bartering system with some countries. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8178415...make-face-masks.html www.theweek.in/news/world/2020/03/26/chi...19-battle-early.html www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-...s-news-a9437961.html www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-...ggs-for-toilet-paper
Barney	Interesting. Taiwan manufactures 13 million masks, a day!
md	Taiwan is also generously donating 10m surgical masks to the EU and UK for medical health workers. www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3909073
Barney	Notwithstanding its proximity to China, Taiwan has has less than 200 deaths - largely because of lessons learned with SARS, in 2003. Masks are worn everywhere, by everyone - and strict and rapid rules were enforced, with timely auctioning. All travel from China was immediately banned - as well as cruise ships - and heavy punishment was doled out for lockdown violations. In contrast, Australia - also an island, with a 25 million population - has had much more infections and fatalities. Taiwan has shown how to be prepared, and how to act quickly - whilst leaving from the past. Healthcare of a very high calibre has also helped.
