In US news and current events today, we're seeing how the United States' response to the coronavirus pandemic came later than it should have in comparison to countries like Taiwan. Here's how government data, early action, and technology worked together to help Taiwan become one country with a model response to COVID-19.

So it's not BIG government or SMALL government - it's about SMART and EFFICIENT government.
Which we have neither and yet people want to expand the scope of its job. Bad idea to give more responsibilities to those who can't manage their existing ones.
That and the government literally tracked all its citizens using their cellphones to make sure they complied with mandatrs?
Did you forget that part flag waving freedom fighter? 😉
Trish Truitt The whole world can see who is the country are care their people and who is the one that don’t care their people, also create racial hatred
Which we don’t have. Sigh
Hey it works for them...
Imagine having a government that actually works for you
@TheTrueBlackSheep There are plenty, they just aren't from the West
You hit the nail on the head!
Imagine living in a 3rd world country run by first world corporations...wait...I do live in one its call USA.
Works with you*
@@bmona7550 😂bro are you dumb? Who are you talking to? There's no ThrTrueBlackSheep in this chat
The mentality of the people is also a big factor. Americans don’t care enough
Americans don't care enough because the government ain't helping.
Same with the Dutch
Is this virus worth giving all civic rights for?!
In other countries people say the same thing “Americans/Germans/Swedes/Belarusians/Brazilians (whatever) don’t care” This is the Human World 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏼♀️ We are just a weak humans...
Ruben Bronco a problem is trump, he literally cut off funding to the pandemic response team and also he said it would be fine in February and it won’t reach the us. Guess what? It did.
I’m envious of my friends who live in Taiwan. Their government actually cares about them and has a strong health care system.
Unfortunately Taiwan is constantly under pressure of the China’s gov.
They are so advance
The United States has the most powerful healthcare system in the world.
So someone with good brain should defend Taiwan AT ALL NECESSARY COST!!!
And the people are actually practicing good hygiene, and aren't disagreeing with their methods...
learned from SARS, and not giving another pandemic a chance
skeithG3C America had the spanish flu... they never learned. America is one big third world country run by corporation rule.
JRLM America has an incompetence President right now. Don’t group the whole country together, only those voted for him. And America also had bird flu and swine flu
Westielover and learned nothing.
@@terrierlover maybe im just unlucky, but the amount of tweets I read the other day of americans saying they should pay for the vaccines is.. distressing
even after the ridiculous prices of medical care in america, they still wanna go the capitalistic route
Taiwan officials acted quickly, US government pretended it wasn't happening
I know- they stopped flights from Europe... two weeks ago? They should have halted ALL international travel until they understood the virus a little better MONTHS ago. They told ppl to “prepare for quarantine” only to have scared ppl empty stores. Now only a small percentage of the population has goods. And those ppl had to gather in giant crowds at the stores. Everyone else has to go out almost daily just to get necessities. I have twin 7 month olds- how long do you think my goods will last? If I want to get baby water for formula. I’m limited to two gallons. So in three days or so I have to trek out again to get more. Or get in line very early and wait to get ahold of more wipes. It feels like we are doomed to fail.
No they were lied to by China about the seriousness and were berated and called xenophobic for travel bans while everyone went on spring break saying if I get it I get it whatever
@@roguesirena they only went on information given to them. China said it was nothing
USA was more worried about Kobe Bryant's death.
Same here in the philippines. They waited someone to get the virus inside our country before they take action against it.
It's all about the money my friend..
Not the people of the country..
If you’re abandoned by WHO 17 years ago, you need to learn how to protect yourself. That’s how we learned from SARS in 2003.
WHO is nothing but a sector of the CCP
During the 2003 SARS outbreak, Taiwan, excluded from the WHO, needed information on the SARS virus strain and asked help from Hong Kong, which said yes first. But the move was stopped by Beijing, leaving dozens of Taiwanese killed by SARS.
In September 1999, when Taiwan was severely hit by an earthquake, the CCP prevented a Russian rescue team from visiting Taiwan. (By the way, Japan arrived in Taiwan first due to geographical proximity but it was a Turkish rescue team that first expressed willingness to come to Taiwan; that was why Taiwanese people donated lots of money to Turkey, which was hit by earthquake this January, in return.)
China has been making every effort to weaken Taiwan in a bid to take it over. Eight million voted in favor of Tsai Ingwen this January. Sadly there are still at least 5 million pro-China voters against Tsai. One reason is that Taiwan has been infiltrated at all layers in society in ways more severely than how the WHO was taken over by China.
Taiwan really needs international recognition because the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) wants Taiwan as a military base on the western Pacific island chain. That's also why China gained the Solomon Islands and Kiribati as allies last year. The two island countries had been among few of the countries having diplomatic ties with Taiwan.
The CCP's ownership of Taiwan, if unfortunately made possible, can mean a huge threat to the world. We should take this seriously.
@@Neyobe we Taiwan don't care about China, and we don't think we own China, actually we Taiwanese don't want to do anything with China.
The constitution of the Republic of China (Taiwan) still states that they claim Mainland China, but the people of Taiwan do not want to do anything with China. Changing the constitution can lead to change of government and eventually, independence. As much as the Taiwanese want to be independent, they of course do not want to be nuked by China.
@@Neyobe "But Taiwan thinks they own China, and China thinks they own taiwan"
That depends on who you talk to. The traditional position of the KMT Party is that it is the legitimate ruler of China, and that the guy sitting in Beijing should be the KMT not the CCP. The DPP and other green-leaning parties, however, don't subscribe to that view, nor do they care much about it. The DPP puts more emphasis on Taiwan's unique identity, culture, history, and values, and generally distances itself from the idea of cross-straight unification. This does NOT mean, however, that the DPP wants to isolate Taiwan from China, nor does it mean that the DPP wants to completely shut out the idea of peaceful unification. Its current policy is to keep all options on the table, as far as the future of Taiwan is concerned.
I am a Taiwan people. Per my observation, the key point that makes Taiwan remain OK is that our anti COVID 19 campaign is led by a team of experts. Many of them are also doctors. They are given full authority to quickly respond to the changes and can win people' trust. And our President and Premier both step back to support this team. I think this is very critical but ignored by most observers.
This is important. Let the pro do their job.
No, to me from afar it is acknowledged. I hope more news of your country comes out. My country is slow to react and clearly we were unprepared. It is angering a lot of citizens mire so cause a lot of doctors have fallen to this virus here😥
Also Taiwan's experts didn't spread misinformation like US experts did. "Masks don't protect you at all if you're healthy" (asserted by "experts" in the US) is contradicted by literally every scientific study ever done on the matter, and makes the public lose trust. It is important to make sure health care workers get the masks during the shortage because they need it more, but telling a lie to try to prevent hoarding just causes further harm as people think they shouldn't wear one even if they already have one.
I agree!!
In Hong Kong, our puppet government of China didn't trust our experts and keep putting political pressure on them. The virus prevention here is led by a group of morons who have power. God bless that Hong Kong's situation is still quite controllable (so far) because the people have done their best job for themselves and been responsible for the public health.
Americans are "rugged individualists". That is a polite way of saying that they don't take advice...even when it is good advice.
Your idea of good advice is to allow only the corrupt government to have guns. And leave citizens at their mercy. Then let msm tell us " it will be okay".
wannabecarguy ok

@@flamethrowercandle2354 You wont be saying that when it comes to visit you .
gov should pay people in quarantine, so they can’t make any excuse to go out
@@nonenunina right.
One word.
"Brilliant"
And Taiwan did all this with little to no help from the WHO. This is because Taiwan has long been barred from the WHO by the PRC.
After SARS (Taiwan was also barred from the WHO at the time btw), Taiwan learned that it must become self-sufficient, or else its population is gonna get wiped out in the next pandemic.
Covid and Sars Came from China lol
could say its a blessing in disguise
WHO is a puppet of China.
Not only that, Taiwan was the first one in the world to warn the WHO about the Wuhan Virus and was the one that sent the countermeasures that the WHO set as the standard later on for other countries. Taiwan is above far and wide, the best country to have handled this virus and deserve to be in the WHO (which their leaders are acting like a slave to the Communist party of China). I say all of this as a Canadian who has been watching this since January.

A country that cares about their people. We need to take serious notes.
And, dont forget, citizens that care about each other and that are community minded. Americans are selfish, look at what most of us are doing while we still have free will. Going into big gatherings and ignoring social distancing out of spite
Taiwan is not a country lol
You should take some serious notes in class

@@BlackGirlLovesAnime6 Right. Also because TRUMP is too proud!
Again, a pure example of why everyone must work together
Some just dont see the big picture good point my man
Good luck trying that in the US. The media went from "oh it's just a flu" to basically "everyone prepare for doomsday" within a few days and people get incredibly manipulated by the media here.
Some people just being selfess and careless idiots. In the end they don't benefit anyone not even themselves.
Dillon C the media also waited a good month before really covering this virus. They even called trump racist for wanting to Halt travel to and from china in January and the media didn't start covering the virus until late February early march.
Again, a pure example of how we lack real leadership. We made Mayor Quimby president.
This man is quite humble in his words and he seems proud that his nation took precautions before it was too late.
Darkened Destiny he is actually a Taiwanese American 😅 living in the US.
I mean, Taiwan should be proud, their response to this has been a golden example of a proactive and ready government. Its how a country should be run.
@@TriXJester But the Chinese government does not want its people to know this. The success of open, democratic, and technocratic Taiwan just highlights the failure of oppressive, authoritarian and cronyistic China.
covid-19 can show no symptoms until you have gotten infected for over 7 days. So the best way to prevent an explosion of sickness and crisis, is PREVENTION, so you don't waste tremendous of medical resources to fix the situation when it's too late. PLASE START WEARING MASKS IN PUBLIC, SICK OR NOT
@@user-es9yj4jb1v Stupid comment.
I am not Taiwanese but i got my master degree here and now working in Taiwan as an engineer. I can proudly admit that I'm glad that i get to stay here, safe and sound. So giving unbiased opinion here (since I'm neither Taiwanese nor Chinese), Taiwanese government indeed took fast response to prevent the virus spreading even when WHO ignored that this could be pandemic. My fellow friends and coworkers told me not to trust what chinese media reports, as the number has been edited to hide the real casualties. The truth is far more devastating than what they want us to see. The death toll report was manipulated, as the information given by cremation house exceeded the amount reported by media, plus, cancellation of millions phone subscription which means they either lose their phone or the phone lose their owner. Taiwan is doing a lot better than most countries in the world.
Uruki93 LOL “phone lost it’s owner”
Yes, what the news said about Taiwan is true. I am an overseas student in Taiwan. I live in the uni dormitory. everyday they will check our temprature when we're about to go out, and we have to give them the prove that we're already check our temprature when we want to get in the dormitory. same goes to another building like the cafetaria, gym, classes, etc. the school gave every single student a pack of handsanitizer, wet tissues and a soap. they're also ask us wheter if we're still have mask or not, bcs when we dont have mask anymore they will give it to us. Taiwanese are very strict about this and taking this seriously. Salute.
You are correct but the rest of the world is not ready to admit the success story of Taiwan.The whole world should know Taiwan's success story.I am an Indian but here in India the death toll from the virus is already above 200 and still the government is saying that India is the safest country from the corona virus
Taiwan out here making everyone look like amateurs. They have schools open and yet still keeping this thing in check.
If the lockdown continues the chances of people dying from burglary, arguments, and petty crimes from unemployed desperate people will eclipse Covid's lethality.
FINALLY media that recognizes the incredible work of the Taiwanese government.
thank you.
If same done by indian government of using various databases to track people then Indian media have been starting foul cry about privacy
Maninder Singh they only tracked the people travelling in and out of the country
I was in Taipei 2 week ago. My mother had an operation there. They were super efficient in how they dealt with the Covid threat. There were so many checkpoints to check for symptoms. They practiced Social Distancing. Everyone encouraged good practices to Sanitize. I learned so much from how they dealt with COVID.
Where are you now
Yes. I am proud of Taiwan. How our health system changed was bc this Taiwanese guy who lost his father bc they were too poor to pay doctors bills and no one would treat him, he died. His son later had made heaps of money and changed Taiwanese health system. Everyone pays health insurance there, even babies. The poor can afford it too. Then when you do get sick, you are able to get health care at any time.
Basically boils down to how citizens show decipline and how good the administration is. Taiwan has done a wonderful job, a model for the world.
Paying 100 plus people to stay home is definitely cheaper than trying to cure 15000.
Exactly
Yup absolutely correct.. Smart move...
And you can't even cure them. Just bury them after spending money trying to keep them alive. :(
My Russian friend was quarantined in Taiwan (no symptoms, it's just all foreign arrivals have a 14 day quarantine procedure) and got paid for it. Great policy. If you were locked at home for 14 days unable to earn money, you'd feel ______. The job was, stay home, protect yourself and the community, here is your salary.
My mom works in the airline industry & she said Taiwan is super smart. She said they shut down a lot of their flights way before everyone else started cutting their flights.
Numa.K they knew they can’t trust Chinese Communist party & WHO... people are blind when it comes to China’s evil regime... you should watch China Uncensored on TH-cam...

Hansen Says Take A Seat From my understanding, they were not getting as much information as the rest of the other countries because they are not included in the WHO. China wouldn’t share information with them so they had to rely on ‘friendly’ countries like the US and European countries to obtain the information that the WHO was releasing about COVID-19. They reacted quickly & efficiently - the numbers speak for themselves.
@Hansen Says Take A Seat They were receiving cases from Wuhan and took the counter measures against it. In the exact same time that China was arresting doctors, publishing misinformation and denying the existence of the virus, Taiwan was the first one to warn the WHO and were the ones that actually wrote up the countermeasure procedures against it. They were also the first in the world to act against it and as others have noted, the numbers speak for themselves. Their quick response has saved thousands of lives in their country, China did infect the entire world and is responsible for it.
This is why they managed to make so much progress and has been able to keep the situation under control. If you have been looking at the situation since the beginning, it all falls in place.
LaughTooHard The funny thing is USA CDC warned Taiwan for incoming Covid threat, but USA didn't act at all until it's too late.
@@springrollwang4441 Trump acted in January when we got a clue as to what was happening. He was called all of the usual names when he did. The travel ban from China was racist. There's nothing to be concerned about the Radical Liberal said. And today they all claim Trump is not doing enough to protect us. Their idiots, liars, and thieves.
Taiwan was preparing for this while America was preparing for possible space wars
哥倫布 Little Columbus goes to show the incompetence of our leaders here in America

America was too focused on raiding area 51.
China held info for almost 2 months, and is probably STILL helding info. Cmon. The stupid thing that is probably being noticed in USA is that still the regulations are waay too exaggerated, like that lab that couldnt test covid just because bureaucracy.
@@jonnymario771 I would say the bad part on the American response was how delayed it was. At first it was just travel ban from China and then it started to spread to other countries in Europe. The US didnt officially prepare for a pandemic even when they saw how fast it spread. Only once it got bad enough did the American government call for a state of emergency and enact many policies. Also, American numbers are way too low. America does not actively distribute test kits, and only does do to people who have the symptoms. The issue with that is yes, you found out the person who caught it a while back but you dont know who they've spread it to. Now, everyone who caught it say from that person but not tested before reports symptoms and then now in that period they spread it to more people. We dont test for people without symptoms and we wait essentially but in that case we also wait for it to spread.

I am Taiwanese living in New Zealand. Last month in early Feb I already said to my work mates get ready be prepared for covid-19. They all looked at me as if I was crazy. Three weeks ago, they started to fear, asking me about Taiwan. I told them AND they thought I was lying about the numbers. Just a week before NZ went for a lockdown isolation, they finally shut up about Taiwan, realizing that my country didn't overreact and done the right thing to BE PREPARED, START PREVENTION EARLY. I hope NZ got a fighting chance. I am also worried that as more ppl come back to NZ the covid 19 will go out of control.
Sometimes, we don't need to have a debate to make them shut up. Stay safe there

Why is China called Mainland China? Taiwan has been an independent country since 1949. It has its government , territories ,people , health systems , economic network, etc. People should learn more about it and stop mistaking Taiwanese people as Chinese people. How could anyone not tell the biggest difference between the Chinese government and Taiwanese government is one has great democracy and the other one..I think you all know about it. Taiwanese people have worked hard to earn their credits and reputation in their businesses and relationships with other nations. Maybe the Chinese government is richer , but it is not powerful as it seems. Thank you Taiwan for showing the world how well-prepared you are! Everyone has done their best !
Because ever since the kuomingtang went to taiwan they insisted there is only one china and taiwan is called republic of china...
Mainland China is used to differenciate from autonomous regions like Macao and Hong Kong
Taiwan will always be the better and REAL china
Huge respect from Canada 🇨🇦❤🇹🇼
Jordan Garrison thanks Canada, but Taiwan is not China! It really has been a western propaganda to compare Taiwan with CCP and it is more convincing to Chinese that they can have democracy in China when the west identify Taiwan is a Chinese society.

Honestly Taiwan should get a lot of credit for controlling. I see so many posts about China, South Korea, and Japan. Taiwan should be the one who should get gold medal for handling it very professionally.
Why others are not following?, ah, because the nations are so rebellious, can't wear mask, can't stay home, cant break their principles etc.
Taiwan was proactive instead of reactive. They didnt wait for the cases to start piling up. I think governments around the world can take a page from their book.

One thing to mention is that Taiwanese are very responsible. Even when there is no outbreak, you will still see people wearing masks as long as they are sick or if they are riding on scooters.
rev They wear masks because it is heavily polluted there.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj
=_= |||.......
Not heavily polluted, ok? But we do have pollution just as the other countries. But at least we don't have that much smog that we can't breathe even though we are so close to CCP like Korea or Japan. We can still breathe.
Taiwan also learned a lesson from the SARS outbreak back in 2003. At that time there weren't enough masks. Since then, the hospitals have kept surgical/N95 masks and protective clothing in regular stock just in case. Moreover, Taiwanese people are educated to wear masks in protection of themselves and in prevention from spreading diseases to others.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj I live in Taiwan and it is not highly polluted . You can check the fine particle level on different websites . Pollution is nothing like China except for an area of the south west in January .
In Japan there is the custom of wearing surgical masks in public at the slightest sign of a cold or other respiratory sickness. And it has been the rule since at least the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic.
I'm Taiwanese
Since the end of Jan. while we back to work from Lunar New Year holidays, everyone needs to pass through temperature checking before you enter a company, school, hospital....etc.
We are still working here like that so far. So inconvenient, but I'm glad we did.
Proud to be a Taiwanese. Our officials work days and nights to keep the people sound and safe. I feel bad that the minister of health department works so hard that he doesn't get to get enough sleep. He looks so thin and pallid now. I am hoping that he can get some rest. For someone at the age of 68, this is way too tiring.
I been to y'all country on layover on the way to the Philippines 🇵🇭 and I love how Taiwan 🇹🇼 looks. I also feel so safe there, I might come visit staying a few days to see how it is once this virus clear up.
Makes me feel good about my friends there. And proud of my time spent in SK too. Both countries have done the best job so far.
@Hilfiger Tribalism and discrimination is not a problem exclusive to between different ethnic groups - it's part of human nature. You only need to look a little into history to see that - the Rwanda massacre, Arab Spring, Palestine-Israel, Irish discrimination in America, even the American Congress of today.
No matter where you are, people like to blame their problems on other people, and to do so they will try their hardest to find something different about the other as an excuse to demonize them.
In February, I was talking about people needed to pass through temperature checking in Taiwan, my Canadian friends said they did in Vancouver airport as well. They said at the Vancouver airport, customs asked you if you had fever and have been to China....That's how they did it (no using a temperature checking machine/monitor). And my Canadian friends think the government did an amazing job by checking everybody. They are still languaging at people who wear a mask....
WOW Taiwan is on a whole different level! I work at the Emergency Department (of the NHS) and we're being told to not wear masks "too much", because... we're short of supplies?! The UK had the luxury of 3 months to prepare but they wasted that opportunity! It was even one of our consultants who told me off, "Why are you wearing a mask? You don't have to" I was wearing a masks because my aim was to protect the patients I was handling because I might have caught it, just no symptoms showing. Two days ago, one of the patients I swabbed died. COVID-19 positive. 90 year old gentleman, I will never forget his name, face and his wife, who was also a suspected case. She survived but the gentleman didn't. I wanted to cry when I saw his name on the system that said in red "deceased". So it only makes sense to wear a mask. But no, they prohibit us from wearing one! It's ridiculous! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A FIRST WORLD COUNTRY!
UK is third world for average folks, my dear
And Taiwan is not a member of UN and WHO which practically means not depended on China or USA.. it's an unofficial superpower.

So I suppose no one is very afraid there now?

@@ericlego321 If you're saying that to attack the US people stocking up, you're wrong. We're panicked for a good reason.. our government started it all by not being prepared like Taiwan was. We're just reacting to the mess They've created.
Taiwan should be an example for everyone on how to deal with an epidemic, very smart way they handled the epidemic and I am very impressed by this!
They have a international hospital where you can get check ups and EVERYTHING for a cheaper price! Even recovery time, I saw this on a CNN documentary a long time ago. I would love to go there one day... American is full of Bull and excuses.
I’m not sure if you realize this but half the practices they are doing aren’t allowed constitutionally
@@russellpo7758 we do limit medical staff not going to coronavirus-stricken countries, and it's a reasonable decision.
@@russellpo7758 Which half?
I wish Canada did this, they took action too late. And no one here wears masks because it’s “weird” or “dramatic”, ignorant.
@@kaitokiddo9863 lol
kaito kiddo masks don’t keep the virus from entering your body, masks are used to prevent the infected from spreading it(coughing, sneezing) if you’re not sick don’t use one it’s unnecessary, just don’t touch you’re face(ur eyes mostly) and wash you’re hands
@@Bino983 lilperk That underlines the importance of community effort. Obviously if there is a shortage in your area, it is best to avoid public spaces and leave masks to those working in essential services. However, if you have access to masks (ie: government mediated distribution, no shortage), do wear them and handle them properly. Surgical masks don't offer much protection from the wearer, but they do limit the spread of droplets to other people. Considering people can be asymptomatic for several days, they will probably have infected several people before they realise they are sick and start wearing a mask. However, if everyone assumes they are potentially infected and wears a mask not to protect themselves but to protect others, then the whole community gains protection through some sort of "umbrella effect". Every infected droplet that is stopped by a face mask and doesn't end up on surfaces or in the air is a droplet that won't go on to affect other people. Although it's hard to confirm and quantify the impact that mask wear has on limiting the spread, countries such as Taiwan and Singapore have had a lot of success with containing the virus with seemingly few measures compared to other countries, one being widespread mask wear.
The problem is that people render facemasks ineffective against the virus based on the assumption they are made to protect the wearer. They are effective at doing what they're intended to do, which is containing the wearer's droplets, unlike respirators (such as N95, N99, P95, P100 and so on), which filter out small particules to protect the wearer.
@@kaitokiddo9863 well that is stupid
also there's no way to buy masks in canada

It would help if the US government didn’t tell everyone “It’s nothing, just the flu; go out to restaurants,” while selling off their stocks.
This pandemic is going to make all of our failings glaringly obvious.
They would lose if they would have said it's terrible and will cripple us, because people would panic. Americans as a whole right now don't trust media, the government, or "scientists". We've been lied to, misled, and given completely opposite information for to many presidents.
Republican Senator Richard Burr, Senate Head of Intelligence Committee, delayed telling the public just how dangerous this virus is just so he could sell off his stocks before the market tanked. People died because they had no idea this dangerous virus was out there.
And unfortunately this president wins the prize in telling lies.
@@reddirtwalker8041 when and in what way have scientists lied to you?
America’s healthcare system: we want your money
Taiwan’s healthcare system: we want to save people
That's the conclusion you made from this video? Do you know anything about Taiwan??
Internet Alpha please enlighten me
@@NaturallyDarrien I ask cause you seem to know of Taiwan. You know ?
Capitalism runs riot in the US
My comment was in context to the video. Did you want to add anything to video?
The reason we got a late start is because China lied to WHO and said as of late Jan that COVID19 was not transferrable human to human. Taiwan tried to tell WHO in December that they found out it WAS transferrable human to human but WHO could not acknowledge their contribution because China pressures them to not recognize Taiwan as an independent entity. So Taiwan took their own knowledge and acted. I am happy for them protecting their citizens and I hope their contributions will be recognized by the international community more.
Pretty sure the US response has been absolute potato because of the incompetent national leadership, disdain for scientific input, flippant populace, and just downright stupidity.
Taiwan warned the WHO and China about possible human-to-human transmission of the virus at the end of last year, but the global health body did not make it public.China only admitted that human-to-human transmission was possible as late as Jan. 20.
Taiwan did not trust China anyway, so they started monitoring ahead.
According to NHCCs briefing today(3/25), the total infected patients in Taiwan are 235, includes 2 death and 28 cured. The rate seems to rise a bit rapid in the past few days, but only 38 out of 235 were infected inside Taiwan, and the majority (197) were imported cases. Which is a sign of we're not yet starting the infection within community. I believe our government is really doing whatever it takes to protect the country, and it works. I'd follow their suggestions whole-heartedly.
Also we understand that we could not get over this by ourselves, unless we are going to ban ourselves from the world like DPRK...... which is never an option. So we started prepare early, by keeping ourselves settled, should give us more strength to help others. The situation is still not good, but by comparison, people here are doing okay right now, hope we can reach out to many more needed.
But first, friends on the internet, keep it up, listen to the experts, they know virus better than we do.
1. Wash your hands with soap as frequent as possible. It's a must do before eating.
2. Wear a face mask, if you don't have one, make one from cloth. This won't stop the virus, but it will stop you from touching the face subconsciously.
3. Don't meet up/dine with your family and friends. Virus loves parties.
Now everyone is a part of this, if you're not safe, then your family is not safe, and then your neighbours, your colleagues, many more people will be in danger, too. Also you are putting a huge pressure on your own medical pesonnels, by not protecting yourself properly. They are the major force in this fight, keeping them save and operational is the only way to win this.
And please understand this is not a flu, folks. You will evantually recover from a flu, but this virus EATS out your lung. IT WILL NOT RECOVER TOTALLY. Please don't try to get the stupid antibody, you will either die before that or pay out huge. If you get infected, and it unfortunately gets really bad, this will make you winded worse than you're in your 80s, just by walking to your front door(Google Lung fibrosis). You don't want that happens in your 20s. Don't ever get infected.
The medicals around the world are now fighting for us, please support them by keeping you and your family safe.
Stay home, remain cautious, keep information updated, we will overcome this together.

Wrong. South Korea handled things pretty good as well, and I'm sure there are other countries being overlooked
Anonymous Unknown Yes, there are many other countries that have handled things well. However, Taiwan was predicted to have the second most COVID cases in the world by the John Hopkins Covid predictions, so being one of the countries with little cases have led to the praise of Taiwan from many.
Notice how everyone is wearing a mask. In America it seems like it's uncool to wear mask. Entitlement is high in this country.
Well before the virus a lot of Asians wore masks.
It's not that. The U.S. officials discouraged mask wearing because there were not enough supplies to start with for the healthcare and medical workers. That is why they said they were ineffective, which is untrue. I know because before things even got crazy here and before they stopped flights from China, I already had trouble buying masks. A handful were scarce and sold at 2.5 times the price. So, that is why we don't wear them.
@@larse9999 the masks in my country rise up to 15x the original prices. Even the doctors and nurses buy their own masks and hazmat suites. The government dont care about them.
I can't even buy one here, it's starting to get bad in New Zealand.
I was flat out told at work on Friday that wearing masks/gloves incites panic. The masks that we did have stocked also disappeared for the most part and now of course we can't order more.
So if you pay attention and you care, it's possible. A very responsable government and population, good for them. Finally a good example!

I remember him telling the American people not to worry that they had everything under control cuz at the time we only had 15 case in the whole country. I remember him saying that there was enough test for everyone and that he got in front of the virus and we wouldn’t have to worry. I remember that was only three weeks ago......

....I'm a Brit and been living in Taiwan the past 20 years, Taiwan government truly care for its peoples, this I can testify, in the position to compare. My country the UK, shame on the government and other authorities involved, see what they have done in not protecting, telling citizens it's ok to go out to venues etc, then a week later, telling the whole UK stay home it's serious. They closed their eyes to other countries contingency plans. Complete blunder.
My friend is a teacher for special needs and she says they continuously give them contradicting messages about schools closing
Can’t agree more. My husband is Taiwanese so I had times staying in Taiwan to realise how much Taiwanese government cares for their people compared to other governments. I confidently say it because I am Vietnamese lived in Vietnam until I was 20 and now living in Australia for more than 10 years. Praise to Taiwanese government’s great work.
I went to Taipei 2 years ago with my wife. My daughter is representing GB for the world Taekwondo tournament. It was trip of a lifetime for us. The people are so polite and the youngster are so disciplined. We would like to move to Taipei for our retirement. I cannot wait to get out of London
I'm in the UK I'm so worried I don't get why Boris Johnson just won't do a complete lockdown before it's too late! The more people get sick the more NHS will go under to the point where there will be no Drs or Nurses to help anymore because they're all sick. It's ridiculous he needs to be watching and learing from other countries who were infront of us he needs to stop acting like he wants to be Number 1 and act like a team with the rest of the world! All he has done is close pubs, restaurants and cinema's how's this going to control it?! It's lovely to see your country being so supportive and looking after there people they put their people before money ans that's amazing if only the UK would do the same! 🤦🏼♀️
I am a Hungarian living in the UK and you're absolutely right. The West is too liberal for people to have discipline and to understand that they also have duties not just rights.
They've been delaying the response to this epidemic. In Central -Eastern Europe governments have been taking this way more seriously from day one and it seems to me that the general population are much more disciplined there. I am stuck in London, I have my job, my life here. If I didn't have to go to work (safety critical), I would've left this shitshow already and went home to remote Hungary to my parents. It's too late now, let's see what "crazy hair day Boris" will say today at 5 pm....
That’s the thing, Americans love their freedom, they love their rights, autonomy, independence, and there’s always this sense of Me, myself, and I
That’s why we can’t do the things other governments are doing, if we were to do that the US would be in a riot, we don’t like being told what to do even if if the right thing we always have it out for our govt because we are well aware they do things for their own benefit and the bourgeoisie and do things behind our backs while trying to seem benevolent when they’re really in it for the profit
Honestly props to Taiwan for being so smart and their people for having a sense of community and putting aside their differences and fears and having a leveled head on their shoulders
Very true and we distrust everyone lol.
YOU ALL SHOULD START WEARING THE D*MN MASKS!!!! IT'S CRITICAL FOR KEEPING YOURSELF AND ALL OTHERS SAFE
America means Individual Freedom
Nail on head in this post.
This trait has been observed since the 18th century. Americans respect one thing and one thing only: money. They've also got such a strong sense of self that, while making them dynamic and hardy brave characters, unfortunately also makes them completely averse to give expert advice to because they refuse to subject themselves to any kind of authority--including an authority of knowledge. In fact, they take special glee in "taking people down a peg" and cutting down those they feel have gotten "too big for their breeches".
Oh and Taiwan has a centralized healthcare subsystem just like almost all other developed nations.
key word: Almost
It's even better than socialist...we only pay 5us dollars to see doctors. Don't act like Taiwan isn't developed yet, it will surprise you if you pay a visit

No. Youre just unaware, like most, that Trump did a proclamation two months ago banning travel from China and putting together a task force.

To give contrast, 10 years ago the swine flu infected SIXTY MILLION Americans. Different president. No hostile media and idiots challenging his every move. Not half the panic. No massive stock dive.
