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
