《The Guardian 英國衛報》
英國衛報在7日以「自身成功的受害者:為何台灣未能設法因應大規模新冠疫情爆發」A victim of its own success: how Taiwan failed to plan for a major Covid outbreak為題,評論報導點出儘管台灣先前有250天沒有發生任何本土案例。
但近期在台灣發生逾1.1萬例感染案例中,超過90%是在5月中以來染疫。台灣主要受三大因素,而在抗疫中失敗:
1)疫苗訂量不足、
2)錯估全球疫苗短缺形勢
3)和地緣政治影響。(指因中國大陸復星集團代理權爭議買不到輝瑞疫苗)
而且,因為疫苗不足,台灣全國接種疫苗的人口比率,不到3%。(指施打一劑)
●未能及時防範兇猛的英國病毒株
多位公共衛生專家表示,在病毒於全世界一波波擴散之際,台灣當局未跟上有
關新的變種病毒株的新知識、包括對抗空氣傳播必須通風的重要性。
*尤其大規模檢測的有效性。
一些人士認為,台灣已成為「自身成功的受害者」。
公衛專家、前副總統陳建仁表示,當局原先以為他們靠著接觸史追蹤系統和精確篩檢就已控制住疫情,但英國病毒株傳播速度更快,帶來挑戰,而且5月9日母親節又釀成超級散播事件。
●不願採取嚴格封鎖措施
衛報也指出,台灣當局顯然反對採取激烈的封鎖措施,而且屢次重新界定引發必須封鎖定義門檻。
振興醫院感染科主治醫師顏慕庸表示,從疫情大爆發以來,已有很大的改善,但他仍希望台灣能基於感染數和風險水準制定明確定對應的封鎖限制措施。
顏慕庸說,他仍擔心加護病房被增加的病患數壓垮,進而導致外溢至社區的風險,「這曾經發生在紐約市、義大利北部。你必須要停止傳播,就是要採用封鎖。一個必要、精心規劃的封鎖」。
●疫苗仍是當務之急
衛報指出,全球應對疫情的焦點仍是疫苗,但台灣在取得疫苗方面也面臨問題。

While most of the world suffered through hundreds of millions of cases and millions of deaths from Covid-19, the 23.5 million people in Taiwan largely lived a normal life, thanks to a well-documented strong and early response that saw it go 250 days without a single local case. It lobbied for inclusion in the World Health Organization’s decision-making body off the back of its undeniable success and expertise under the slogan “Taiwan can help”.
But now the tables have turned and the island itself is in need of assistance, after an outbreak that started among airline staff in April spread across the island. The government appears to have been caught short by something it thought would never happen: the poster child for outbreak prevention had apparently failed to fully prepare an outbreak response.
It has so far recorded more than 11,000 cases and 260 deaths, more than 90% of them since mid-May. Affected by inadequate orders, global shortages and geopolitics, it has vaccinated fewer than 3% of its 23.5 million people. The president, Tsai Ing-wen, on Monday gave a broadcast address from her office to assure a population at its second-highest alert level that 750,000 vaccine doses promised by the US would arrive soon.
‘We thought maybe we could contain this’
Multiple health and social experts told the Guardian that as the virus spread in waves worldwide, authorities hadn’t kept up with new scientific knowledge around virulent new strains, the importance of ventilation to combat aerosolised spread, the effectiveness of mass testing, or the examples set by some countries of locking down hard and early. Some felt Taiwan had become “a victim of its own success”, even complacent.

台灣曾是阻斷冠狀病毒的典型代表,但未能為大流行應對或疫苗接種做好充分準備

雖然世界上大部分地區因 Covid-19 感染了數億例病例和數百萬人死亡,但台灣 2350 萬人在很大程度上過著正常的生活,這要歸功於有據可查的強有力的早期反應,該反應在 250 天內沒有發生一個本地案例。
憑藉其無可否認的成功和專業知識,它以“台灣可以提供幫助”為口號,遊說將其納入世界衛生組織的決策機構。
但是,在 4 月份航空公司工作人員爆發的疫情蔓延到全島之後,現在情況發生了轉變,該島本身需要幫助。政府似乎被它認為永遠不會發生的事情弄得措手不及:預防疫情的典型代表顯然未能充分準備好應對疫情。
迄今為止,它已記錄了 11,000 多例病例和 260 例死亡,其中 90% 以上是自 5 月中旬以來的記錄。
受政府疫苗採購不足、全球疫苗短缺和地緣政治的影響,它的 2350 萬人口中只有不到 3% 的人,接種了(一劑)疫苗。
週一,蔡英文總統在她的辦公室發表廣播講話,向處於第二高警戒級別的民眾保證,美國承諾的 75 萬劑疫苗很快就會到貨。
“我們想也許我們可以控制它”
多位公衛體系和社會專家告訴《衛報》,隨著病毒在全球掀起波瀾,當局沒有跟上關於新變種毒株的新科學知識。
*通風對抗霧化傳播的重要性、
*大規模檢測的有效性或示例。
一些國家早已地採取了嚴格的封鎖措施。但一些人認為台灣已成為“自身成功的受害者”,甚至自滿。
⋯⋯
在國內,黨派也攪渾了水,幾位專家告訴衛報,他們對公開批評廣受歡迎的政府和衛生當局(包括陳時中)必須持謹慎態度。
一位公衛專家說,他們覺得政府不願複製在中國看到的任何事情——比如野戰方艙醫院或封鎖——政治已經為判斷蒙上了陰影。
對於台灣以外的人或密切關注疫情的人來說,今天的台灣令人不安地懷舊,彷彿現在是2020年6月,而不是2021年。
全球防疫現在是關於疫苗。
但台灣也在這方面苦苦掙扎。 “我認為政府開始認真考慮 [疫苗] 太晚了,”全球臺灣醫學聯盟總幹事、前國家監察員委員Peter Chang 博士說。
“他們認為我們很擅長戴口罩,人們在保持社交距離方面非常自律,所以沒關係。”
許多早期在該病毒上取得成功的國家也一直在努力獲得和分發疫苗,但台灣面臨著額外的併發症,包括指責和中國地緣政治干預的實例。台灣聲稱中國阻止了與德國疫苗生產商 BioNTech 的交易,中國予以否認。
台灣防疫指揮中心CECC 告訴《衛報》,它正在盡最大努力控制疫情,但“公平獲得有效疫苗是結束全球 Covid-19 大流行的最終解決方案”。
日本已提供超過 120 萬劑疫苗,美國參議員周日飛往台北,宣布美國的捐贈,並強調美國兩黨對台灣的支持。
進入第 3 級警戒兩週多後,病例數並沒有顯著下降,週一警報再次延長,直到 6 月底。
陳時中部長認為 3 級已經足夠嚴格,並質疑政府實施更多措施的能力,但表示沒有足夠明確的信息,告訴一般人如何保護自己免受高比例的無症狀感染者和所謂的“隱形感染”者。
“你必須假設任何不與你同住的人都是潛在的攜帶者,”他說。 “在接下來的兩週左右的時間裡,不要與不和你住在一起的人在室內聚會。”

need of social inclusion 在 Samantha Kayty Facebook 的最佳解答
As a society, the feminine principle tends to be overlooked, unappreciated, and abused. For one thing, the feminine principle is about unity, not division.
We have been exhorting you to focus your attention on love, light, abundance, and unifying humanity. In fact, the Goddess is metaphorically returning to your world. But to do so we need all of you to reflect on patriarchy, an unjust and unfair system, indeed a caste system that has risen to global proportions over the last several millennia.
Patriarchy is based on elitism and social stratification via a power and dominance hierarchy. Its effects reverberate throughout your societies as those in power do anything and everything to maintain their power.
The feminine principle is about abundance, prosperity, and nurturing and supporting all beings residing on Earth at this time. It is about creation and nurturing creative expression. It is vehemently not about destruction and not about exploitation of people nor of planetary resources. It is about unconditional love for all humankind and reaching out to the most vulnerable among you. It is about understanding, inclusion, and forgiveness.

《國際文宣 》 致世界的公開信 — 為何要讓台灣加入世衛 #TWcanhelp
中英文版如下
各位好,
我是Will,一位香港人,亦是最後一年的醫科生。我寫這封信的目的,是向全世界解釋為何世界衛生組織(世衛)需要重組,以及為什麼世衛需要重新考慮讓台灣成為正式成員。
2019年12月,中國湖北省的武漢市發現一種來源不明的肺炎。肺炎不久擴散至鄰近地區。香港、台灣、泰國、新加坡、南韓及日本成為亞洲最先受病毒侵襲的國家。這個來源不明的肺炎後來被稱為COVID-19,而病原體是新型冠狀病毒SARS-CoV-2。
雖然香港和台灣很早就受到病毒侵襲,但兩地在遏止疫情擴散方面非常出色。香港與台灣在2003年SARS抗疫中,分別失去了299和73條寶貴人命。我們知道我們必須從過去經驗裡汲取教訓,避免悲劇重演。應對新型冠狀病毒爆發,香港和台灣都迅速地採取有效的公共衛生措施。台灣的公營醫療系統在查找病人、隔離感染者及追踪病人曾經接觸人士方面更是全球首屈一指;這些工作對於控制傳染病擴散都是不可或缺的。
新型冠狀病毒爆發至今已經四個月,不少國家都受到迅速擴散的病毒所重創。英國、意大利、法國、印度、中國、新西蘭、澳洲及美國等多國都實施封鎖及出入境限制。病毒奪取了好幾萬人的生命,活著的人民亦飽受社交隔離及孤立的煎熬。疫情發生前的世界現已不復存在。
反觀台灣,生活仍然大致正常:人民照常上班和跟他們的朋友家人晚餐。最重要的是,當地的社區傳播病例明顯較其他國家少。這全賴台灣政府反應迅速且有效。
事實上,台灣政府亦不時接觸世衛 ,跟組織分享他們在控制病毒方面的研究成果及經驗。早於2019年12月31日,台灣曾經聯絡世衛查詢及提出新冠病毒能夠人傳人的可能性,但不受理會。直至2020年1月14日,世衛仍宣稱沒有證據顯示病毒可以透過人傳人傳播。
如果當初台灣是世衛成員國,而世衛又認真看待台灣的意見並鼓勵各國立刻為抗疫做好準備的話,各國或許可以像台灣一樣成功遏止疫情擴散,從而挽救幾萬條人命。
17年前,我們經歷了SARS。我們以幾百條人命的犧牲為代價,學到了重要一課。香港已經是世衛成員,香港大學出版的最新研究亦顯示口罩能大大降低病毒傳播風險。這項信息對全世界來說是極為重要的。台灣要是能夠在世衛發聲,他們絕對可以幫助各國走出困境。我呼籲世衛讓台灣加入組織,讓我們制止歷史悲劇的重演,向世界展示我們的團結,站於同一戰線上對抗病毒。台灣和香港能夠、亦會持續為這場抗疫之戰作出貢獻。
最後我想大家知道:這個病毒並沒有針對性。不管你是嬰孩、兒童、青少年、年輕的成年人或是長者,你都同樣承受染病的風險。絕對不要輕視這個病毒,它已經奪去夠多人命了。犧牲的人,一位都嫌太多。我懇請你們留在家中,因為只要你們這樣做,就可以避免更多的人命犧牲。保持希望,讓我們攜手一同戰勝黑暗。

A public letter to the world: why should WHO reconsider Taiwan’s membership
Hello everyone,
My name is will. I’m from Hong Kong and I’m a final year medical student. And this is an open letter to the whole world on why we need a reformation of the world health organization (WHO) and why the WHO should reconsider the inclusion of Taiwan as its member.
In December 2019, a pneumonia of unknown source was described in Wuhan, Hubei province in China which has since then spread to nearby places with Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea and Japan being the first few Asian countries hit by the virus. This pneumonia of unknown source was later on known as COVID-19, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
Despite being hit early on by the coronavirus, Hong Kong and Taiwan have been doing an incredible job in containing the spread of the virus. Having the experience of SARS in 2003, with the tragic loss of 299 lives in Hong Kong and 73 lives in Taiwan, We know that we must learn from the history and we cannot let this happen again. In response to the coronavirus outbreak, Both Hong Kong and Taiwan promptly established effective public health measures in particular Taiwan has the best public health system in the world in terms of identifying patients, quarantining infected patients and performing contact tracing which are all crucial components in containing infectious disease.
Today, four months after the outbreak of coronavirus, many countries were devastated by the rapid spread of the virus. Countries such as the UK, Italy, France, India, China, Newzealand, Australia and the United States are in lockdown and travel restriction. Hundreds and thousands of people have died because of virus, for those who are still alive are living an incredible difficult and dreadful life with social distancing and isolation. The world we used to live in ceased to exist as of this moment.
But if you take look at Taiwan, they are still almost business as usual, people are still going out to work, to have dinner with friends and family, most importantly the number of community transmission is exceptionally low compared to all the other countries. These are all because of the rapid response and effective measures adopted by the Taiwan Government.
as a matter of fact, the Taiwan government has time and time again proactively approached the WHO to share their research and experience in containing the virus. December 31st 2019, Taiwan contacted WHO to inquire and suggest the possibility of human to human transmission of the coronavirus but was disregarded. And until January 14 2020, the WHO was still claiming that there is no evidence of human to human transmission.
Had Taiwan been a member of WHO, and had WHO taken Taiwan’s opinion more seriously and encouraged countries to promptly prepare for the coronavirus, the rest of the world maybe able to contain the virus like Taiwan and the tens of thousands of lives could have been saved.
Throughout the entire coronavirus outbreak, WHO has time and time again failed us by downplaying the severity of the pandemic, claiming that there was no evidence of human to human transmission, all along reiterated that mask provide no protection to the general public, advising countries to not impose travel restriction and most importantly the poor recommendation of PPE for healthcare workers which resulted in multiple infections to doctors and nurses in Japan who followed their advice initially.
17 years ago, we had SARS and we learned a great lesson at the expense of the tragic loss of hundreds of lives. Hong Kong is already a member of WHO and our latest research published by the University of Hong Kong showed that mask can drastically reduce the risk of viral transmission which is invaluable to the whole world. I have no doubt that Taiwan would be able to help the world if Taiwan is given a voice in the WHO. I urge the WHO to include Taiwan as its members so that . Let’s not let history repeats itself, let’s battle this war together as one world and let’s show the world solidarity. Taiwan and Hong Kong can help and they will continue to help.
And a final message to all, the coronavirus does not discriminate, no matter you are an infant, a child, an adolescent, a young adult or an elderly, we are all equally susceptible. Do not take this lightly, it has claimed enough lives already, one is too many, please stay home and it can save life. Please do not lose hope and We will get through this, together as one.
