The American online outlet BuzzFeed recently reported that Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and other countries have controlled the epidemic well and that people are living an enviable normal life. Among them, the Taipei gay parade told Americans in Taiwan that it “appears to be in the future.”
This report, published on the 9th, was titled “Is there an epidemic?” How do you live in a country without an epidemic? “The experience of two journalists who visited New Zealand, Australia, Taiwan and Thailand across the ocean was vividly written. Discussing how these countries control the epidemic almost makes people forget that the epidemic exists.
The report noted that going to a restaurant to eat and enjoy a great meal with family is normal, but it has become news worth reporting in 2020. People in many countries caught in the epidemic are envious of this. Jealous again.
The gay parade in Taipei at the end of October became one of the vivid examples in this report. Pei Li, a 25-year-old American who came to Taiwan to teach English last year. Zhang (Perry Truong) shared the experience of participating in the gay parade in the report.
He said: “The gay parade is very big and a lot of people go out. I am not worried about contracting the virus. I am not afraid not to wear a mask in public places. I cannot think of a better way: everything continues as usual here.
The report noted that the United States has been deeply involved in the epidemic for 9 months, and life before the epidemic appears to be a distant memory. But Pei Li. Zhang did not feel that the epidemic existed. “People talk about this after 10 years, and they will say, ‘Do you remember that epidemic? “I will answer” What is the epidemic? “
Pei Li. Zhang lives in Taiwan, and there have been no local cases for a while, and the number of confirmed cases in the United States has reached 15 million. You cannot imagine the severity of the epidemic in the United States.
He said, “I’m so disconnected that I can’t even understand what it’s like to be in the United States. It feels like I’m in the future, looking back at the people who have had a hard time these days.”
The report cited photos of people living as usual, listening to concerts, watching performances and meeting friends in various countries, noting that being able to lead a normal life “is not a miracle, but the result of hard work.”
Geographically isolated, the government responded appropriately. Several countries in the Asia-Pacific region have controlled the number of infections to very low or even close to zero. Among them, Australia and New Zealand have adopted strict lockdown measures, and Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea have used the technology to trace contacts. History, cultivate the habit of wearing masks, and control the epidemic without closing the city.
These countries still allow entry, but must go through strict isolation measures. It just happened in Taiwan: Filipino migrant workers were fined NT $ 100,000 for leaving the room for 8 seconds. Australia is only restricted to citizens entering the country. They must be isolated in the same room for 14 days. Even the windows cannot be opened. There are guards patrolling outside the hotel and they pay around NT $ 60,000.
The report cites the analysis of Australian psychologists. The success of epidemic prevention in Australia does not necessarily mean that people trust the government more, but everyone knows that if they cooperate with the epidemic prevention policy, it will be good for others.
