The Covid-19 Hero

I am scared of coronavirus because it's very contagious in most countries this is how coronavirus cases look like higher higher and higher. It looks impossible to stop but there is one country that put
an end to coronavirus and made it completely flat entirely by itself and no one is talking enough about this country.


This is the story of Taiwan one of the closest countries to China but surprisingly one with very little coronavirus in Taiwan only 429 people got infected only six people died and for the last 17 days zero local cases were reported zero. Best of all Taiwan did not lock down the country the schools remained open shops remained open and the economy remained open even sports events continued but without the fans because people were social distancing. In Taiwan people took this very seriously from the beginning and everybody did their part to wear mask and social distance. This is impressive but not surprising Taiwan was one of the first to ban flights from Wuhan the first to test people the first to take the virus seriously before anyone else did and here's the crazy part all of this they did alone. Most nations do not recognize Taiwan as a country and the World Health organization doesn't either for political reasons which means that they don't get much help from other countries during this tragedy yet despite that they succeeded and beat coronavirus alone and now they're helping other countries do it too. They shipped 17 million masks to the United States to Europe to the Philippines to Japan and even to the small island nation of Fiji yes Fiji. 

Even though they may not be recognized as a country they're still a part of the global community and they're here to help. Taiwan can help it's easy to lose hope when you look at the world map and look at the infection rates but at least for this minute look at Taiwan no local infections no outbreak no panic and no lockdown. Tsai Ing-wen president of Taiwan and the first woman president of Taiwan, says Taiwan is a free democratic open and amazing place not many people recognize Taiwan as a country because of politics but this time everyone should recognize Taiwan as a hero.
