I have been observing that the epidemic of China, South Korea, Italy, Iran, and other countries worsens dramatically, the Wuhan Pneumonia confirmed cases not only increase from two-digit to serious outbreak, but also rise rapidly with three-digit to surge the community infection terribly which finally lead to collapse the health care system. Why?

From my perspective, the reasons which demolish those countries` medical system are that the unwillingness to implement the border controlling, no tracing individuals who contacted the confirmed case and no home quarantine requirement to these individuals. Worse than that is allowing the mildness confirmed cases and the individuals who had contacted those confirmed cases to go freely everywhere. Then Wuhan pneumonia Covid-19 spreads, the epidemic outbreak, and destroys the medical system eventually!

When many country’s health authorities and the international media recognize Taiwan’s epidemic preventions as a Gold Standard, people may ask ‘what has Taiwan done right?” The answers would be early intervention, a clear command structure and transparent communication with the public. Plus the high quality of health care system and affordable cost to everyone.

There are several decisions being made by Taiwan government to arrest the spread of the WuHan pneumonia (COVID- 19) :

First at all, the efforts of epidemic prevention work are coordinated by the Minister of Health and Welfare Commander - Chen Shizhong, and the command system is consisting of medical, public health, epidemic prevention experts.

Taiwan government conducts the quarantine and at-home self-management according to the travel history. In addition, the disclosure of travel history is not only dependent on individuals’ description, but also revealed from the health insurance card thru vpn cloud.

Furthermore, the Taiwan authority also makes decisions to control the border and manage the travel alert. Besides, all the travelers return from the epidemic area have to be quarantine for 14 days at government expense. Every confirmed case in Taiwan is not only hospitalized into the negative-pressure ward treatment and quarantine regardless of light or severe cases covered by the National Health Insurance. Taiwan CDC also traces each one of the confirmed case contacted. Taiwan government will test those people who have contacted with the confirmed case in government expense. If the result of the test is negative, this person will be required home quarantine for 14 days. If the result is positive, this person will be hospitalized into the negative-pressure ward treatment at government expense. Every home quarantine person will have a subsidy of 1,000 NT per day. Regardless of mild or severe cases, every patient confirmed should be treated and isolated in negative pressure isolation rooms, covered by Health Insurance.

In addition, all of the Academia Sinica, National Health Research Institutes and Taiwan-based Biotechnology Taiwan are co-ordinated by Vice President - Chen, Chien-Jen, work on the Rapid Coronavirus Diagnostic Test, vaccines, medical treatment and medication measures etc. Taiwan’s performance in developing these solutions is in the leading group of the world.

The cooperation and integration among each Ministry is led by the Vice Premier of Executive Yuan, Chi-mai Chen. All the cooperation is to support the epidemic prevention commander. For examples:
- to build 60 sets brand new machines and production lines in order to increase mask production quantity up-to 6 million pieces per day within 20 days. This difficult task is accomplished by the cooperation of Ministry of Economic Affairs and Ministry of national defense.
- the exceptional assistances in against viruses with IT and big data analysis by the IT Minister Audrey Tang.
- the efficient execution of border management by the Ministry of Interior and the customs of Ministry of Finance.

The maintenance of the country`s stability and administrative operation by the
Premier of Executive Yuan, Tseng-chang Su.

The regular high-level national security meetings to coordinate the progress of
each department which is hosted by the President of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen, as well as to command the national military and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

My dear friends, this is how my country works on protecting our people. This is our #TAIWAN.

定宇觀察中國、韓國、義大利、伊朗等國疫情，從二位數確診病例到大爆發，快速的以三位數、社區感染暴增病例，最後拖垮醫療體系，原因何在？
在於...邊境不管理、確診不主動溯源、不主動追究密切接觸確診者、輕症和接觸確診者不隔離，導致帶原者滿街趴趴走，一發就不可收拾，然後醫療體系無法處理，終至崩潰！

而台灣這次的武漢肺炎防疫作為，不是靠運氣，更不是僥倖，被國際衛生部門和國際媒體公認的「台灣防疫黃金標準」是什麼？台灣做對了什麼？

台灣防制武漢肺炎（COVID-19）做法：防疫工作由衛福部部長「陳時中」指揮官統籌，由醫療、公衛、防疫專家為指揮系統，台灣用旅遊史來進行檢疫和居家自主管理，而旅遊史的揭露不只是靠當事人自訴，還靠科技能力用健保卡VPN來揭露。決定邊境管理、旅遊警示，而從疫區回台，一樣集中隔離14天，公費處理。台灣每個確診病例，不分輕重症，都收容負壓病房治療、隔離，費用是國家健保給付，還追查確診者接觸的每一個人，進行檢測和居家隔離14天，採檢是公費，隔離者每天還有補助1000元，盡力做到隔離傳染源。

中研院、國衛院和全台灣的生物科技公司，由副總統「陳建仁」統籌指揮，進行病毒株研究，目前快篩、疫苗、治療用藥都跑在全球前段班。

跨部會的協調，整合部會力量支援防疫指揮官，包括經濟部「沈榮津」提升口罩製造量、科技政委「唐鳳」以大數據IT協助防疫、內政部支援邊境管理執行、陸委會對中協調等由行政院副院長「陳其邁」統籌。

行政院長「蘇貞昌」則維持國家大政穩定。

「蔡英文」總統定期召開國安高層會議，瞭解彼此和各部門的進度，並指揮國軍、外交部應處。

各位，這就是我們的國家
所以 #我台灣我驕傲

📍以下為其中一些段落，跟大家分享：

Some people describe that the old ROC government was reborn and re-invented in Taiwan, and our current government is a fusion of the ROC and institutions from Taiwan’s Japanese colonial era.

有些人形容，過去的中華民國政府在台灣重生，並且被「重新發明」，而我們現在的政府是一種融合體，結合了中華民國體制與台灣日本殖民時期的機構。
　
So in conclusion, Taiwan is an independent nation which carries the legacy of republican China. I would say that Taiwan is somewhere in the middle between a regional independence movement (Scotland; Catalonia) and a two-state rivalry (North & South Korea; East & West Germany).
　
總而言之，台灣是一個主權獨立的國家，這個獨立的國家乘載了「中國大陸民國時期」所遺留的歷史遺產［legacy］。我會說，台灣的處境介於區域獨立運動（蘇格蘭、加泰隆尼亞）和冷戰兩國對抗（南北韓、東西德）這兩種模式之間的中間地帶。
　
Secretary Pompeo recently said that Taiwan shows the world what a “free China” could achieve. In a way that’s true, Taiwan carries the legacy of a Free China. Taiwan might carry the hopes of many in the global Chinese-speaking community. But Taiwan is not just a free version of China, since Taiwan also has its own trajectory and uniqueness, including our Japanese colonial history. This duality (of the ROC and Taiwan) is the key to understanding Taiwan.
　
美國國務卿龐培歐最近說，台灣顯示了一個「自由的中國」所能達成的成就。某種程度來說這是事實，台灣確實乘載了「自由中國」的歷史遺產。台灣或許乘載了全球華語世界許多人的期盼。但另一方面，台灣不僅僅是一個「自由版本的中國」，因為台灣擁有自己的軌跡與獨特性，包括日本殖民史。這種二元性（中華民國以及台灣）的並存，就是理解台灣的關鍵。
　
：：
　
I view Matsu as an important border area that is very close to China, and a place where many important issues need to be addressed, including the environment, disease control, maritime resources and security. I think it would be a mistake for any political party to neglect this region, which was why I decided to run for office here in Matsu, and launch a county chapter here.
　
我認為馬祖是一個重要的國家邊境地區，由於非常靠近中國，這裡有許多重要的議題需要處理，包括自然環境、疾病管控、海洋資源以及國家安全等。我認為任何政黨如果忽略這個地區，都是一個錯誤，這也就是為什麼我要在這裡選舉，並且建立一個地方黨部。
　
I think the rise in votes for President Tsai and the DPP in Matsu is symbolic, as the DPP is the party that supports Taiwan’s sovereignty and democracy, and our party tends to be more cautious of interactions with the Communist Party.
　
我認為蔡總統和民進黨在馬祖的選票增加，非常具有象徵意義。因為民進黨是支持台灣主權和民主的政黨，而我們的政黨對於跟共產黨互動，採取比較謹慎的態度。
　
By building a party chapter here, it symbolizes the DPP’s effort to reach out beyond our traditional voter base. Some people often assume that since the outlying islands are culturally and historically connected with Fujian Province, then the voters here will not be critical towards the communist party. But what we are seeing in the younger generation here is that, people can be simultaneously proud of their Fujian heritage, AND stand adamantly against authoritarianism.
　
當我們在這裡建立一個地方黨部，象徵民進黨努力爭取傳統支持者之外的選民。有些人會先入為主，認為離島地區因為文化和歷史上，跟福建省的連結很緊密，代表選民不會對共產黨有所批判。但是我們在這裡的年輕世代可以看見，許多人對福建（閩東）文化傳承感到驕傲，但【同時】堅定反對威權主義。
　
The Communist Party tries to tell the world that, if a person identifies with Chinese culture, then they must support the Communist Party. That’s the traditional logic, but that’s a logic that merits criticism. They’re trying to link the two together. What we are trying to do is to break that link. We see a growing number of people that identify with Chinese culture, AND simultaneously stand against China annexing Taiwan.
　
共產黨想要告訴世界，如果一個人認同中華文化，就必須支持共產黨。那是傳統的邏輯，但這個邏輯值得批判。他們想要把兩者連結在一起。而我們正在嘗試做的，就是要打破這個連結。我們看到有越來越多選民，既認同中華文化，也【同時】堅定反對中國併吞台灣。
　
I think this speaks to a wider audience in the Chinese-speaking world on a global scale. The traditional argument to support Taiwan’s sovereignty would be to emphasize Taiwan’s cultural differences with China. Here in Matsu or Kinmen, we can develop an argument that supports Taiwan’s sovereignty that is not based on cultural identity, but rather on common values between Taiwan and Kinmen or Matsu, and anti-communism. This builds a coalition between traditional supporters of Taiwanese independence, and people in the pan-Chinese world that are pro-democratic and anti-communist. This actually includes many people in the main island Taiwan and the outlying islands, as well as overseas ethnic Chinese.
　
我覺得這也對全球華語世界更多人，傳達了訊息。傳統上維護台灣主權的論點，是強調台灣和中國之間的文化差異。但是在金門或馬祖，我們可以發展一套支持台灣主權的論點，並非基於文化認同，而是基於台灣與金馬之間的共同價值，以及反共的理念。這樣便能建立一個聯盟，結合台灣傳統的本土派持持者，以及泛華語世界中「挺民主、反共產」的民眾。這其實涵蓋了台灣本島許多人，還有離島民眾，更包括許多海外華人。
　
You will also notice President Tsai places an emphasis on maintaining sovereignty & democracy, regardless of support for an ROC identity or a separate Taiwan identity. So the DPP itself is also reaching out. That’s the dualism of ROC and Taiwan identity.
　
你可能也會注意到，蔡英文強調希望大家共同支持維護國家主權和民主，不論是支持中華民國認同或是台灣認同。所以民進黨本身也在尋求更多人的支持。這就是中華民國和台灣認同的二元性。
　
#台澎金馬寸土不讓
#民主自由堅守不退

台灣連續 31 天無本土案例
所有前線人士辛苦了！

#作息破壞者 做的最棒的大概就是宅，寫分析文章
來看部長投書〈外交家雜誌〉的英文書寫

標題簡明扼要
Global Health Security: A Call for Taiwan’s Inclusion
應納台灣加入全球衛生安全行列

副標應該是編輯下的
Taiwan’s minister of health makes the case for the country’s inclusion in the WHO.
台灣衛福部長請願加入世衛

make the case for 為某事請願

文章脈絡完整，全文較長，讀到中間會發現很多我們也不知道的政府努力，讀到最後覺得實在鏗鏘有力！大家多點耐心 #順時中

開頭從過去數十年的全球疫情談到當今疫情，一句作結：Taiwan has not been spared. 台灣未能倖免，代表台灣同樣受疫情嚴重衝擊，同理心訴求歐美讀者繼續閱讀

以下選幾個特別的句子跟大家分享

In the 17 years since it was hit hard by the SARS outbreak, Taiwan has been in a state of constant readiness regarding the threat of emerging infectious disease.
SARS重擊以來的十七年，台灣隨時處在預備狀態，以面對伺機竄起的疾病感染威脅

constant readiness 持續的預備狀態
短短兩個字，讓人想到好多醫護總是待命的辛苦！

接著描述全民一心的嚴密檢疫，到後來海軍敦睦艦的狀況，以及平息，小結：This has shown that Taiwan’s aggressive efforts to control the epidemic are working.
台灣的積極防疫起了功效

aggressive 積極的
epidemic 流行病

漂亮的句子：
Disease knows no borders.
疾病不分國界

記得主詞是第三人稱單數所以動詞要加 s

接下來談到我們比較熟悉的國內防疫措施我先跳過
有興趣到留言區看全文英文表達

再來個巧妙的句子：
A crisis anywhere readily becomes a problem everywhere.
任何一地爆發危機，即成全球危機

一句話之內，用 readily become （立即變成）連結，從 anywhere 變成 everywhere

再來就是呼籲全球公衛缺一不可，讓台灣加入 WHO

---

然後就是讓我很驚艷和學習的地方，原來政府做了這麼多

1. 遵照 IHR 2005 國際衛生條例，向 WHO 回報確診數

Taiwan has fulfilled its responsibilities as a global citizen and abided by the International Health Regulations 2005 (IHR 2005) in notifying the WHO of confirmed COVID-19 cases.

fulfill responsibilities 負起責任，好用的搭配詞
abide by 遵循
notify 告知

2. 聯絡了超多國家的疾管單位（CDC）共享情報

Moreover, Taiwan has communicated with other countries such as Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, the United States, Canada, Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and the Netherlands, as well as the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, to share information on confirmed cases, travel and contact histories of patients, and border control measures.

border control 邊境管制
measures 措施

3. 上傳病毒基因序列到 GISAID 全球共享流感數據倡議組織
Taiwan has uploaded the genetic sequence of COVID-19 to the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID).

genetic 基因的
sequence 序列

---

最後是溫情呼籲，要好好照顧公衛，不該因政治考量，拒台灣於門外

If it is indeed the WHO’s mission to ensure the highest attainable standard of health for every human being, then the WHO needs Taiwan just as Taiwan needs the WHO. Yet Taiwan has long been excluded from the WHO due to political considerations.
如果 WHO 的宗旨真的是要確保全人類健康，那麼 WHO 跟台灣是互相需要彼此。然而台灣卻長期因政治考量被排拒於外

ensure 確保
exclude from 排擠
considerations 考量

Taiwan will continue to work with the rest of the world to ensure that all enjoy the fundamental human right to health as stipulated in the WHO Constitution. Echoing the mantra of the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, no one should be left behind.
台灣會持續協力確保全人類享有健康基本人權，如同 WHO 組織法所述。呼應聯合國 2030 永續發展目標的口號，沒人該落單

all 全人類
fundamental 基本的
right to 對於某事的權利
stipulate 規定
echo 呼應
mantra 口號

謝謝部長理性與感性兼具的投書！
希望全球疫情早日平息，也接納台灣為國際社會一員
