All it took to break down the world’s most vaunted COVID-19 defense was a little secret tea.

After almost 18 months of nearly unblemished success keeping the coronavirus pandemic at bay—including the world’s longest streak of case-free days—Taiwan is now in the grip of its first major COVID-19 surge. Total cases, which had been below 1,300 through the entire pandemic, have surged to more than 3,100 in the span of a week. Many offices have sent workers home, the streets of the capital Taipei have cleared out and the government has begun scrambling to secure vaccines to improve one of the worst inoculation rates in the developed world.

Old Parr

 

面對老人，照顧老人，總是要有耐心，甚至寬容以對，畢竟有朝一日我們也會老邁。

Old Parr was introduced in 1909 by Greenlees Brothers of London and Glasgow.^[3] It takes its name from the reputed oldest man in Britain, Old Tom Parr.^[4] The name emphasised the maturity of the product. The brand was initially successful in London, before finding popularity in export markets.^[5][3]

Following a series of mergers, Greenlees became a part of MacDonald Greenlees & Williams. In 1925, the company was acquired by Distillers Company, which was acquired by Guinness, which merged in 1997 to form Diageo.^[6][3]

Blends[edit]

The standard blend is the 12-year-old called Grand Old Parr (40% ABV).^[3] The 15-year-old blend is known as Old Parr (43%), and the 18-year-old is known as Old Parr Superior (43%).^[6]

Old Parr Superior was launched in 1989, and is blended in small quantities in Scotland twice a year.^[7][8]

Discontinued blends Old Parr Tribute and Old Parr Elizabethan, the latter launched in the mid-1980s, retailed at a higher price than Superior.^[9]

In 2014 a new Old Parr Tribute was introduced for the Colombian market.^[10]

Biography[edit]

He was born in New York City. He was the son of a decorative painter, with whom he served a three years' apprenticeship. He then studied painting in New York with E. M. Ward and Will Hicok Low, and in Munich with Feodor Dietz and Frank Duveneck. His meager resources obligated him to return from Munich back home to New York in 1883, where he again devoted himself to decorative painting.

The year of his return, he submitted A Girl in a Snow-Storm to the National Academy of Design's annual exhibition. The following year he submitted Puzzled, and was awarded the First Hallgarten Prize. He was elected an Associate of the National Academy in 1884, and elected an Academician in 1895. He died in Weehawken, New Jersey, in 1930.

Among his paintings are:

• “An Interior” (1886)
• “A Doubtful Investment”
