昨天TODAY看世界播出南韓抗疫經驗後，有些朋友在問，為什麼南韓可以在這麼短的時間內，生出這麼測試劑?
我爬了一會兒文，看到MSN的報導，提到這麼一個說法。大意是說，Biosensor公司是在武漢疫情剛開始沒多久，就開始進行測試劑的研發，到了韓國疫情上升，南韓政府便馬上緊急授權，讓Biosensor可以將原本需要一年時間的人體實驗，縮短成兩個星期。這個速度至為關鍵，但這也是因為南韓在MERS學過教訓，所以大家廢話沒那麼多。最後一句是我加的。我把它節錄出來，放到後面。
另外也有朋友提到，政府授權之外，南韓工廠有能力將產能從一天產兩萬個，迅即提升到三十五萬個一天，這樣的效率也是令人嘆為觀止。
From MSN:
More than 100 workers in white protective suits staff the production lines, where machines pump out the tests at the rate of 2.5 per second.
SD Biosensor began developing its tests in January, soon after the virus first emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
The South Korean government issued an emergency authorisation for their use in just two weeks, expediting a clinical trial process that usually takes a year to complete.
That speed was a key factor in the South's rapid scaling-up of its testing programme -- a result of its painful experience in dealing with the 2015 Middle East Respiratory Syndrome outbreak, when 38 people died.
