　　Taiwan's emergency isolation of 5,000 people overnight caused panic Taiwan media editorial: the price of political epidemic prevention

　　Overseas Network, January 25. The Taiwan Epidemic Command Center urgently held a press conference on the evening of the 24th to announce the expansion of the home quarantine area in Taoyuan City, which caused an uproar within the island.

The anti-epidemic line on the island was broken in 1922, and Taoyuan citizens called "wrongly surprised" and asked "This is our New Year's gift"?

　　According to reports from Taiwan’s United News Network and China Times News Network, Taiwan’s Taoyuan Hospital has spread the epidemic. On the 24th, two new cases, "Case 889" and "Case 890" were newly diagnosed as couples, and 15 cases were confirmed.

Chen Shizhong, the commander of the Taiwan Epidemic Center, only said at a press conference on the afternoon of the 24th that he “needs to be more vigilant.” Unexpectedly, four hours later, he will hold a press conference urgently, announcing that the entire Taoyuan hospital is a red zone, expanding the scope of home quarantine, involving 5,000 people Much.

　　According to the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center, due to the expansion of the epidemic situation in Taoyuan Hospital, the red alert has been upgraded throughout the entire ward. The three types of people who have been to Taoyuan Hospital from January 6 to January 19 will be included in home isolation for 14 days from now on.

The three types of people include discharged patients and their living with them, accompanying patients and their living with them, and related contacts when seeking medical treatment with "Case 889".

The Taiwan Epidemic Command Center requested that the listed people be compulsorily prohibited from going out at 6 p.m. on the 24th, and must be 14 days after they are discharged from the hospital. After the completion, they will arrange for inspection.

　　Due to the sudden release of a mandatory ban and involving more than 5,000 people for home quarantine, the Taiwan epidemic prevention line 1922 was blown up by the public, and the number of wiring personnel increased from the original 25 to 60.

Citizens who were temporarily notified and were quarantined directly called "very stunned, there is a blank mind at the moment, and I can't believe it", and when the company asked whether they were quarantined, they answered "How do I know? Response".

　　"How can there be such a temporary notice, I have lived with my family for so many days." A 61-year-old citizen surnamed Qiu called out: "It has been for so many days, if the infection has been transmitted to the family." The citizen surnamed Chen questioned: "The New Year is coming soon. Who will do the housework after the quarantine, and who will go shopping? Why didn't you notify me earlier, and I am now worried. Two weeks after the incident, there are countless people in work and life. Now, how can I make up for the'lost sheep'?"

　　Taiwan's "Lianhe Daily" published a social commentary at night, stating that the command center, known as "advanced deployment", was chasing the virus and that the Taoyuan incident was the price of Taiwan's political epidemic prevention.

When the Taiwanese epidemic prevention commander became a politician, the more he could not see the trace of the virus. When the health and welfare department celebrated the first anniversary of the epidemic prevention, they were unaware of the Taoyuan soldiers approaching the city.

　　The article pointed out: “Taiwan’s epidemic prevention creates political stars, but it does not take advantage of the zero diagnosis to accelerate the optimization of backup. In the regrettable loss of Taoyuan, we saw the so-called screening capabilities, isolation and quarantine, infection control management, and even vaccines. Weaknesses in procurement and other defenses have repeatedly appeared. The DPP authorities have been attacked by the virus. The epidemic in Taiwan is expanding, but the DPP authorities have dealt with the same way as the "Laizhu case", focusing on politics rather than professionalism, and the political command center is split. A jealous society is the biggest risk to Taiwan’s epidemic prevention.” (Overseas Net Zhu Huiyue)
