We Taiwanese from kids were educated if you don’t feel well don’t go to school or work, if you want to go, must wear mask. So wear mask very normal in our life. When 2003 SAAS we have painful experience, 70 persons died. We knew we need to help ourselves, each year every hospital need to practice SAAS virus attack, has SOP, keeping One month stock for mask, Protective clothing, various protective equipment, 1439 negative pressure isolation ward, We heard Wuhan flu around Dec. 2019, so early Jan 2020, when Wuhan flu spread, the hospital started the SOP, Center of medical control started to command, because our doctor considered it look like SAAS. That time we had no enough mask, although hospital has one month stock . Mask factory produce only around 2 million per month, we let hospital use it first , citizens don’t hurry to get. Second, established mask producing team, many companies send their engineers for free charge to set up mask producing machine. Those engineers from many other company, their boss sent them came to set up for mask team. From one day one million pcs started , one month later, one day can produce 15 million. 3，set up APP, use medical care card, go pharmacy or internet to buy mask, one week each person can buy 3 pcs, last week started 2 weeks can buy 9 pcs. If you buy from internet, you can appoint super market near you to get, we have 12,000 store, 24 hours like 7-11, family mark, OK mark etc.. 4, need to educate people There will be enough for take what you need, don’t take more like food, Disinfect alcohol, toilet paper, any supplies . There will be a shortage of supplies if gathering too much personal in supermarket when you buying. Considering other people , has system, in order, don’t scare. Then will pass through the virus crisis. 5, now each week we have 3 pcs, don’t need to charge every day for citizens. We decided to donate one day mask 15 million pcs mask to other countries medical workers. It’s not political, we knew, SAAS hurt us serious. 6, the quick test is ready we invented, The medicines of Radecivir ，cooperation with the US almost OK. Now we cooperate with Denmark, Czech, Netherlands. I think the world can see what we achieve soon.
