Taiwanese all wear masks, too. (and everyone usually has masks at home even during normal times.) despite what the WHO says, masks clearly help. 50-80% of transmissions are from no/mild symptoms ppl -- if everyone wears masks, then you greatly reduce spreaders. and tho surgical masks are not very effective at stopping aerolized transmission, they do still help -- that's why nurses wear them. if every single person wears a mask, 75% of them will still have had effective protection against aeorilized transmission -- as long as the transmission period was a few moments (e.g. an elevator ride). ONLY reason WHO advises against masks is to make people not hoard them, and to make sure healthcare workers can find them. but in an ideal situation where everyone has masks (e.g. Taiwan), then there is NO REASON why you wouldn't wear a mask. seriously. go look at the places that wear masks. China. HK. Taiwan. Singapore. Korea. then go look at places without masks. Italy. UK. France. hell, compare a city with LOTS of masks (Vancouver) to a neighbor with no masks (Seattle) -- Seattle has 5x more cases and 11x more deaths. MASKS HELP.

However, if you intend to spread lies and fabricated truth against Taiwan, you are a state-sponsored commentator. For instance, Taiwan is never a British or American colony. Taiwan had been governed by Portuguese, Dutch and Japanese. Pan-green supporters tend to consider Taiwan was under Chinese oppression in martial law era, although the suzerain was ROC, a Chinese country established in 1912. The PRC has never governed Taiwan before.

[@kevinchiu2024]

As a Taiwanese high school student. I would say the situation is kinda different between seniors in highschools and kids in elementary schools and what you have seen in the video. Teachers and parents from elementary schools put a large effort conveying kids correct concept and telling them what they should do while facing COVID-19, and kids will also obey to teachers' even if they don't understand the reason. As the matter of fact, kids has been well protected by adults, and elementary schools has became the most safety area among all places. On the contrary, a lot high school students are lack of alertness and don't know the danger that they are facing. On top of that, students deeply believed that Community Infection won't happen in Taiwan, and COVID-19 will no longer exist soon, which cause the phenomenon that no one wear facial masks at school even if the government keep emphasize the importance of masks, and I believe that is a big problem that will cause a irreversible epidemic situation here in Taiwan. I think Taiwanese students, government and all the citizens should face and to deal with the problem as soon as possible before the worst situation happens.

Just wow for Taiwan. Every country should have a talk with their president specially U.S and philippines maybe they can brainstorm and comeout with a great solution to each countries major concerns. Here in Vancouver I think everyone is doing a great job with abiding to the rules just 2 things that maybe should be improved, 1. some stores still accepts cash. They should allow cards only just for now. 2. most of the people dont wear mask, Japan already made an experiment where it shows that wearing a mask helps to prevent a person from getting the virus. I think everyone should wear one but we dont know where to buy though.

[@jnyylee]

The main purpose of a mask is to prevent “spreading”. A home made one will do that job well. (Only a N95 grade medical mask gets to protect the wearer well, and they’re strictly reserved for medical workers.) It takes a simple government order demanding universal mask wearing in public to get this done.

[@uchibauki2515]

Americans children can’t behave like that ! They will coughing to each other and maybe touching their mask and schools in America have no money to provide those disinfectant maybe asking parents to donate just like every year we have to bring our own hand sanitizer and paper towels etc etc

[@xan8185]

I'm wondering, I can't find sanitizer, or any other disinfectant locally or online...If and when schools open how are they going to acquire these supplies?

[@josepha5885]

Taiwan has been excellent in it's handling of this pandemic. Eight months into this thing and Taiwan has lost only 7.

[@asens6241]

I work in a school in Maryland and it’s sad to say that pretty much all our students are behind or gonna be behind once this ends

[@jennyle709]

wow the kids are so cute and at the same time listening.

[@marclabrie6027]

Cause they get disciplined if they don't listen

[@adal8590]

Since when do our elementary schools do that

[@shanhu5769]

Never... Wished they did tho. I did my placement in a kindergarten classroom, and I was coughed on at least once every hour.

[@priyanesan3299]

There is lots of HOPE in what they are doing. They know their 100 cases. They have enough masks, sanitizer etc.

[@emy_byEE]

Look how disciplined they are.

[@marclabrie6027]

Very well disciplined

I love the yellow dividers the most.

wow, amazing.

[@annlhyn440]

Taiwanese people have a self discipline that's why Taiwan is covid free

[@georgievang77]

Also thank you so much for the donations on masks supplies for the medical uses in the U.S.! Yes hand washing is very important!! Thank you again for sharing!!😊😍❤❤🖒🖒

[@yiwei8050]

Please keep in mind there are not a lot of cases in Taiwan and they shut the door at the very beginning of the outbreak. Their case won’t fit in Canada because community spread is not yet under control in Canada unfortunately.

I'd be petrified to watch contagion if I were that young. 😱

Kids are more resilient.

[@tanyasobsessions2131]

@@DJVARAO not all of them are. it depends on the child's past history and what's currently going on at home etc... some may or will develop trauma from all of this. kids don't have the ability to handle this sort of thing let alone adults! i'm sure many kids will be traumatized sadly from either losing or almost losing someone to the virus if they haven't already.

[@velocity1012]

They are all so CUTE!

[@islandgirl5382]

Love how they are making the parents responsible; what would happen in the U.S.? Eating in the classroom with dividers!! Excellent idea!

Happy Taiwan National Day🇮🇳🤝🇹🇼

[@jac3861]

My son and I are tourist here in Taiwan last January but the the Airline canceled our flight ✈️ back to Europe. We feel safer here but we are sad because of what’s happening in Europe . Though we miss going back home but we thank God Taiwan 🇹🇼 is a nice place to live in. My 3 year old son appreciate this country so much. He loves going to the park everyday which we didn’t do in Europe. He said he doesn’t want to go back to Europe 🤣.

We need those kinda trust in our government just like in Taiwan. Taiwan deserves to be a part of the WHO for sure.

2m - 3m distancing refutes that this virus is not an airborne disease but only fluid and fluid droplets spread. What works much more than abusing the distances that so many institutions ( banks, grocery shops, etc) do not have is masks, masks, masks, etc Lots of love from South Africa

Don't get your hopes up folks, we had a 4 days holiday and a lot of people decided to ignore our govt's advise and when out to popular spots... people are furious at how ignorant and selfish these people are, and while our govt said these people are to self-isolate for 14 days, a survey from a kindergarten suggests that even tho half the students said they have been out to various popular spots, when contacting their parents, all of them said no.

I think Taiwan has a great leader. They are able to provide schools with face masks goes to show how prepared they were and how much they care for their citizens. I live in Canada andwork in healthcare, and we barely have enough masks to use everyday.
