But people in Taiwan still have other diseases, many of which are more deadly than covid. So.. shouldn't they still be locking down? I don't think you're getting the point; reacting this way to a disease that barely kills anybody even if 100% of the population has it is absurd.

It's worth noting that Taiwan has like 1\14th the population of the US, which inherently makes controlling any communicable disease easier. Not that it matters, because covid is barely dangerous.

It's also worth noting that a 2 week quarantine won't necessarily protect a population, since people can carry it without symptoms. If the rationale of a quarantine is that after 2 weeks of no symptoms you must not have it, the fact that people can carry it asymptomatically kind of throws a wrench in that. But again, luckily it's not very dangerous at all for the vast majority of people, even the vast majority of the elderly. So that's good.

think your mixing up Taiwan with China...

we have one of the best medical care/insurance in the world and everyone gets free tests

my family, there are doing fine and having fun

while I'm stuck in America because half the population think its fake or refuse to social distance/put on a mask

if covid wasn't so dangerous why don't you get catch one yourself and see if it hurts
