Taiwan and COVID-19

2 April, 2020



[cid:93E8A1B6-4CFB-41DE-BC73-732660C09195-L0-001]Examine Taiwan carefully! Precisely when and what have they done to account for their C.oVID-19 numbers! [*]

Although not part of WHO, Taiwan must have acted prior to other nations, and perhaps before the WHO announcement of COVID-19 being a pandemic.

Despite the difference in population density, Taiwan is definitely doing an excellent job of curbing the exponential spread of the virus compared to other countries, such as Canada.
