Fueled by the highly contagious #Delta variant and low vaccination rates, a #Covid19 horror story is unfolding across #Asia.
In #Thailand, doctors treating patients in car parks and old train cars. Meanwhile, doctors in #Myanmar in hiding as cases spike. The #Delta variant is also confounding nations used to seeing suppression tactics work like #China, #Australia, and #Vietnam.
Here's the latest from across the region, where record numbers of people are getting infected every day.
📰 Update: Reported death toll in Taiwan train derailment is 50
🀄 報導更新: 台灣火車出軌造成50人死亡
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The death toll in the train derailment near a tunnel in Hualien County was given as 50 after the last passengers trapped inside were rescued, the Taiwan Railways Administration said Friday (April 2) evening.
📌 台灣鐵路局週五 (4月2日) 晚表示，在救出被困在車裡的最後一名乘客後，花蓮縣火車隧道脫軌造成的死亡人數為50人。
On the first day of the Tomb Sweeping Holiday, more than 450 passengers had taken the Taroko Express train from Shulin, New Taipei City, with Taitung as its destination.
📌 清明節假期的第一天，有450多名乘客從新北市樹林出發乘坐太魯閣快車，目的地為台東。
While initial reports suggested a construction vehicle hit the train as it was about to enter the Daqingshui Tunnel in Xiulin, Hualien County, at 9:28 a.m., further investigation revealed a crane truck parked on a slope above the track might have rolled down 20 meters and ended up on the tracks before the train arrived.
📌 最初的報告顯示，一輛工程車輛將在上午9:28進入花蓮縣秀林的大青水隧道時撞上火車，但進一步調查顯示，停在鐵軌上方斜坡上的工程車可能是滾落20米，並在火車到達之前就在鐵軌上了。
The first carriage of the train, Car No. 8, hit the vehicle before coming to a stop inside the tunnel with four other carriages. Only the last three cars were still outside the tunnel.
📌 火車的第一個車廂，第8號車廂，在與其他四節車廂一起在隧道內停下來之前，撞上了工程車。只有最後三輛車廂在隧道外。
The Taiwan Transportation Safety Board (TTSB, 運安會) said that either the truck’s handbrake had not been engaged or it had malfunctioned. A thorough investigation might last three months before it could produce definitive results.
📌 台灣運輸安全委員會(TTSB，運安會) 說，這輛卡車的手剎未接合或發生了故障。可能需要三個月才能進行徹底的調查，然後才能得出確定的結果。
Prosecutors interviewed the driver, who reportedly claimed he had switched on the emergency brake and even put a rock behind the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. Under normal circumstances, no outside vehicle should be able to move onto the tracks, the TTSB said, suggesting a fence should have been erected between the track and the construction site above the railway line.
📌 檢察官會見了這位司機，據報導，這位司機聲稱他已經啟動了緊急煞車，甚至在車輪後方放了一塊石頭，以防止車輛行駛。 TTSB說，在正常情況下，任何外部車輛都不能在鐵軌上行駛，這表明在鐵軌和鐵路線以上的建築工地之間應該建立起圍欄。
According to a Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) map, most of the fatalities were found in the two first carriages. A total of 146 people were injured, many of them transferred for treatment to several hospitals in the region or receiving first aid at nearby Chongde Railway Station.
📌 根據台灣鐵道局 (TRA) 的地圖，大多數死亡事件是在兩個頭車廂中發現的。共有146人受傷，其中許多人被轉移到該地區的多家醫院進行治療或在附近的崇德火車站接受急救。
Both the train conductor and his assistant, aged 33 and 32 respectively, died in the crash, while the youngest victim was a six-year-old girl, reports said. One French national was also believed to be among the victims, while the injured included visitors from Japan and Australia, cable station TVBS reported.
📌 報導說，列車長和他的助手分別在33歲和32歲時死於車禍，而最小的受害者是一個6歲的女孩。據有線電視台TVBS報導，據信一名法國公民也是受害者，而受傷人員包括來自日本和澳大利亞的遊客。
Survivors told reporters how power had cut out, and they had to find their way by using the light from their phones. Eye witnesses said many passengers had become trapped under the train seats.
📌 倖存者告訴記者，電源是如何切斷的，他們不得不通過使用手機上的燈找到路。目擊者稱，許多乘客被困在火車座位下。
The government set up a special emergency center, while asking traffic to avoid the highways leading to the scene of the crash in order to allow ambulances quicker access. Friday’s crash was described as the deadliest rail accident in Taiwan for the past 40 years, CNA reported.
📌 政府建立了一個特殊的緊急中心，同時要求交通避開通往撞擊現場的高速公路，以允許救護車更快進入。 CNA報導，週五的撞車事故被描述為過去40年來台灣最致命的鐵路事故。
🙏 Life is full of uncertainty. May the departed souls rest in peace;
May the living be safe. It is time for solidarity as the nation grieves.

新年快樂～
很開心在世界疫情嚴峻時留在台灣訓練將近兩個月的時間。從八月開始我就一直在世界各地旅行比賽，每個地方的防疫措施和疫情掌控都不同，相比世界上的其他國家，台灣真的非常安全。
也讓我久違的享受了一點自由的生活！
謝謝台北網球中心及網協的協助，讓我在台灣有良好的練習場地及教練資源。
很可惜我目前的排名無法直接排進澳網會內賽，加上這次大會決定將會外賽移至杜哈舉辦。我跟團隊在討論之後決定為了旅行安全以及完成原訂的訓練計畫，我們將從一月十八日展開 2021 年的賽季。
從伊斯坦堡出發，接著預計前往法國。
2021 年希望大家都能平安渡過，一起保持警惕，共同防疫！
也再次謝謝 台灣大哥大 Open Possible陪我一起走過2020，迎向 2021。
我會繼續加油！
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Happy New year! It’s been a great 2 months in taiwan so far. After traveling from August to October it really has been nice to be in a country that is on the safer side in regards to the virus. Being able to have a little bit of freedom is always nice.
I’ve been getting some good training in Taipei, thank you to the tennis coaches and the Taiwan Tennis Association for giving us a great place to train and prepare for the upcoming season.
In regards to the season, my ranking was not high enough this year to get a direct entry into the main draw of the Australian Open. And with the COVID virus still around, Australia decided to host the Qualifying in Doha. Making the travel plans more complicated.
My team and I have decided that we will not be playing the Australian Open Qualifying this year due to the tough travel plans and rules.
I will be starting my 2021 season in Istanbul on January 18. Hope the virus will get better as the year goes on and that people are staying safe and doing their part to take precautionary measures. I will do my part as well.
Let’s get it! Keep fighting!
🎉🎉🎉

Sky's the Limit is available on Amazon: https://amzn.com/B08X1B3QGQ
Have you ever dreamed of quitting everything to travel around the world?
Inexperienced and ill-prepared, thirty-four-year-old Eric Giuliani set out to make his way around the world without flying and with little money after quitting his corporate career. With ideas of becoming a globetrotting travel writer, photographer, and filmmaker, he attempts to reinvent himself on the road and begins to barter his way across Africa, then Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America, and Antarctica.
Sky’s the Limit is the story of Eric’s 1,000-day, 70,000-mile journey, one that is both internal and external—think Eat, Pray, Love meets Bear Grylls. His overland travel is as arduous as it gets and he primarily relies on public transportation—tin-can buses, dilapidated trains, and cargo ships to cross the oceans. His internal journey is equally arduous. Fighting creative insecurities, devastating heartbreak, financial fears, and long stretches of isolation, he repeatedly must dig down deep in order to persevere.
Often driven by intuition and defiant determination, Eric’s adventure pushes him past rocky stretches: a tense, two-day bus ride across a region recently attacked by the terrorist outfit Al Shabaab; a train journey in Europe alongside Syrian refugees Eric is powerless to help; a mixup in Siberia that leaves him stranded in the middle of winter. There are joyful moments as well: swimming with great white sharks in South Africa, falling in love in Australia, a booze cruise through Ha Long Bay, and finding a community of friends in Antarctica. Along the journey, Eric discovers his creativity and also his purpose.
An absorbing, first-hand account of overcoming seemingly impossible obstacles, Sky’s the Limit will inspire readers to dream up thrilling journeys of their own.
