Taiwan has seen a spike in COVID-19 cases in May. More than 1,200 new cases were reported since the week of May 10, doubling the total number of confirmed cases here to more than 2,500 in just a little over a week. That has prompted the government to take tough action, including raising the alert level to 3 for all of Taiwan, meaning strict social restrictions are imposed. Schools and public venues have also been closed. The question now is: Will the alert level be raised to 4 – meaning a lockdown will be implemented?

How Civic Technology Can Help Stop a Pandemic
🇹🇼Taiwan’s Initial Success Is a Model for the Rest of the World
《Foreign Affairs, FA》是美國最具影響力的國際事務暨外交政策期刊,對於全球外交政治圈,扮演議題倡議者的角色。這個月 20 號,FA 刊登了一篇專文,名為 <如何以「公民科技力量」抑制疫情氾濫 − 台灣模式的成功為世界立下典範>,「台灣模式」(Taiwan Model)四字貫穿全文,分析台灣如何以一個島國,而且是被 WHO 排除在外的小國,結合科技和民間力量,在災情下,比科技領頭大國的美、中還堅毅。
台灣在已知病例中的發病率僅為美國的五分之一。美國的比率還不到被廣泛讚譽的新加坡的十分之一。感染仍可能再次激增,特別是隨著全球傳播使來自世界各地的遊客成為該病毒的媒介。然而,台灣最初取得成功的故事值得分享,這不僅是因為它掌握了遏制當前大流行的經驗教訓,而且還因為它掌握了應對技術和民主緊迫挑戰的廣泛經驗。
台灣的成功在於技術,行動主義和公民參與的融合。台灣是一個小型但技術領先的民主國家,生活在兩岸超級大國的陰影下,近年來,通過使技術對民主的有利而不是不利於人民,台灣發展了世界上最活躍的政治文化之一。這種公民技術文化被證明是該國對新型冠狀病毒的最強免疫反應。
Focusing on the countries that have done worst, however, may be less useful at this point than considering which country has so far done best: Taiwan. Despite being treated by the World Health Organization as part of China, and despite having done far broader testing than the United States (meaning the true rate of infection is far less hidden), Taiwan has only one-fifth the rate of known cases in the United States and less than one-tenth the rate in widely praised Singapore. Infections could yet spike again, especially with the global spread making visitors from around the world vectors of the virus. Yet the story of Taiwan’s initial success is worth sharing not just because of its lessons for containing the present pandemic but also because of its broader lessons about navigating pressing challenges around technology and democracy.
Taiwan’s success has rested on a fusion of technology, activism, and civic participation. A small but technologically cutting-edge democracy, living in the shadow of the superpower across the strait, Taiwan has in recent years developed one of the world’s most vibrant political cultures by making technology work to democracy’s advantage rather than detriment. This culture of civic technology has proved to be the country’s strongest immune response to the new coronavirus.
最具草根性的科技,最有公民意識的防疫
其實在台灣可以看到很多例子都不是由政府籌備,反而是 公、私部門互相合作 發展出來的,最厲害的是,在這些開放式平臺、及公民參與的活動中,並沒有刺激假訊息滋長,大家因為想保護彼此,有相關資訊便會在保護個資的情況下主動提供,這種風氣明顯與歐美當前的恐慌蔓延、或是中國的權威隱匿截然不同。 台灣政府也把面臨到的危機丟出來與社區對話,而非把自己塑造成一種全知者 ,好比唐鳳的所有會議都直接用串流直播。
台灣的訊息傳遞方式,也常常是從民間發起,形成公開透明且 有公民意識的防疫作戰陣線 。史丹佛醫學院報告指出,台灣這次有 124 種「抗疫」方式,迅速掌控疫情。其中很多是以社區倡議、黑客松、和一個名為 vTaiwan 的線上政策交流平台在運作。台灣人雖然分散在不同社區,但是運用通訊軟體 Slack 和 工程協作平台 HackMD 創造出許多佳績。

Wishing everyone of you guys a very Happy Chinese New Year..To those celebrating, may this year brings you lots of joy, success and fortune..for the rest happy holidays!
.
I experienced a very special start today...
I wondered if someone might have spike my drink or food with a sleeping pill during my reunion dinner last night.
.
I went to bed around 12 am and I woke up about 4pm today! This is extremely rare because I normally wake automatically before 7am every single day despite even sleeping late at night but just today I slept like a baby and lost all sense of time. I woke up only to see countless miss calls and wishes!
.
Btw I'm also still trying to figure out the meaning behind a very exciting dream I had..
All I can say is WTH!
.
Hope your 1st day of Chinese New Year was as awesome as mine! 🤣
