Since the outbreak of new crown pneumonia, although the Taiwan epidemic is relatively mild, it has caused a mask.The government first limited the export and requisitioned by the mask, but caused panic demand. It had to release the limited edition of convenience stores and cosmetics stores, and expanded production capacity. However, panic demand continued to increase.So from February 6th, the real -name system was changed. Each person to the Health Insurance and Pharmaceutical Bureau (6,514, each to 200 pieces each day) is limited to two health insurance cards, and more than 300 health centers are added.The army, prisons, and foreigners have gained the opportunity to make masks, but from the queue, the dragon saw that the supply should still exist.No wonder the folk popularity took a mask to grab money in front. Now he takes money to grab a mask, buy two for seven days, use one when queuing, and the other will be talked about the next time you queue up.

If considering the post -school start, and the people's adjustment of behavior to reduce going out and stay at home, and effectively reduce the contribution of partial demand, we can see that the mask is actually a serious shortage.Because from a personal point of view, two people are used for each seven days, which is equivalent to three or four days of a mask, or it must take five days of week to take it enough.

On the whole, office workers with the highest risk of infection (from the use of mass transportation tools to work to interact closely with others), the mask is the most needed but no mask is required.Mask increases the risk of infection; while wearing a mask to prevent infection, the person who needs the mask does not have a mask. People who do not need a mask have the phenomenon and waste of the mask.There is a phenomenon of government failure.

Therefore, after the case of death after death, and the start of school next week, students may increase the risk of cluster infection. The government cannot be intoxicated in Taiwan.The supply and demand system, establish a set of mask economics. The negative surface can avoid the chaos of the mask when the epidemic continues to deteriorate, and the positive face can be used in handy when the outbreak of the epidemic occurred in the future.

First of all, in response to the epidemic, you should speak by a professional medical community in order to suppress panic; if you believe that Guan University's question is great, it will treat the silk.For example, at the time of this outbreak, if the medical community proposed that patients need to wear masks, and to wash their hands more than wearing a mask to prevent professional appeals such as contact with infection.Sexual needs.It is a pity that the executive president took the lead in announced the export of masks and forced collection. The Ministry of Labor also announced that the enterprise should prepare a full mask for employees, but instead let the sensitive people worry about insufficient supply, causing the abnormal, or even waste of the mask of the whole people to wear masks, or even wasted.Phenomenon, no wonder the storm of derivative alcohol and toilet paper, the chaos of masks is difficult to calm down.

Secondly, the most afraid of new crown pneumonia is cluster infection. Therefore, the government's policy is to let the public use more networks and use the road less to reduce the opportunities and risks of clustering.The real -name system allows the public to queue up to buy masks is obviously not wise; a better way is to grasp the large and small, and the factory is directly distributed to the insured units of health insurance. The company number of the employee group has enough masks to be available.It will not increase the burden of supermarkets and pharmacy, and the lowest transaction cost will be.A more intelligent approach is that in addition to the fact that the manufacturing industry is not coming to the workplace, the employees of the service industry or logistics and administrative business, or schools, vocational training institutions, exhibitions can be studied at home or at home, and information transmission information is used to make good use of network resources to transmit information at home.Message and convening meetings to completely avoid the risk of cluster infection.

Finally, the most important thing is that the virus epidemic is spilled. Since it is a rumor, there should be no borders to fight against the epidemic.Just like neighbors caught fire, the primary primaries were not their respective stocks, so they used the fire when they were burned. Instead, everyone lifted water to eliminate the source of the fire.Otherwise, the fire source is extinguished without water, and the fire is out of control. The neighbors still live in fear. The water hoarding is also futile. It can be seen that self -protection may not meet the common interests.It is a pity that the government failed to recognize the characteristics of the epidemic and made a big article in the nationality, lost the opportunity to show goodwill to mainland China, and also allowed to be chill in Lu and Taiwan.Cross -strait economic and trade relations worse.
