We care with basics of says it or if its to soften and upset to talk shit up to us about. Public transport is still running. Not. Yet here again taiwanese discipline is on display the public a so mindful of the songs at the damage the 1st corona Virus Outbreak that hit the country in 2003. That was on top of their own gold stocks ok are you close i know you see the real squawk but without the ok can i just make. This a little bending goal so. I guess i must say im close male full of the ok by the end of the 2003 songs crisis 73 taiwanese had died in the aftermath taiwan set up a National Center for Disease Control to better fight each of the democrats a preemptive program of 125. 00 Public Health measures was drawn up intended to go live the moment another threat materialized how the plan was activated last january.

This campus must register their presence and trying to clean and declare that temperature to the authorities about keeping right now buckets of bad showmance in a bad burn defaulted on just a. Moment ago said. Taiwanese say its the willing gauge when if everyone in these preventive measures its allowing the country to tackle the epidemic whilst maintaining some degree of normal life. Chinas determination to suppress news about the start of the epidemic arguably then allowed infection to spread but in taiwan the government was candid from the start here the philosophy seems to be that whatever the menace to the public nothing justifies authoritarian controls. As we saw earlier a desire to maintain normal life has also been a guiding principle in japan. But now some fear that here things may have been too late. Constantine simone is a mechanic alan really enjoyed 2 hours south of tokyo to meet one of the 1st japanese doctors to have confronted the coronavirus. At a. Certain time at the beginning of february dr was called aboard the diamond ray says the cruise ship was quarantined in the port of yokohama with 3700 people aboard.

So me and the other in japan not so many people really surprised but why why there is so few people who have 19 feet because we can not. Get this so dont want to come together in the hospital in japan japan has one of the highest number of intensive care beds for capital in the wild probably sufficient to cope if the epidemic intensifies but surely some are still vulnerable constantine right next to food you saw walk about 40 kilometers south of tokyo to meet some elderly japanese. Under the countrys of antivirus measures it is still possible to visit retirement homes. But what up with you today were about oil with a. Bit about where you are but anderson of japan has the oldest population in the wild when its here i went to 8 percent of its people over 65 years old.
