I don't want to tell foreigners how bad the virus' situation is in Taiwan anymore since my English teacher told me something in the class. Unless someone asks me. I feel like Taiwanese people have no rights to complain.
People here are incredibly anxious and constantly blaming the officials irrationally. In fact, our enemy is not only the virus itself, but the international and domestic politics, the foolish citizens, contumacious mayors, and numerous disinformation.
I have no idea which one is tougher, the virus or the people.
I saw a person who said today:
Taiwan is like a model student who always gets full marks. One day, it got 90 scores and feels like it's the end of the world, then it's harshly blaming itself.
That's an accurate description. Those malicious guys should open their eyes to know what the world has been happening for over one year.
I feel like it is a trick when being asked about COVID in Taiwan by some foreigners. The conversation is always going like this way:
"Do you have any plans for this weekend?"
"Nah, we have self-lockdown, we won't go anywhere"
"Let me give you advice as I've been suffering from lockdown since Mar last year"
"Do you know anyone who caught COVID?"
"None of them is Taiwanese, only few foreign friends, the effects were...blah blah"
"Both my dad and mom caught COVID, glad to hear you don't know someone who caught COVID in Taiwan"
They made me feel we shouldn't complain as a Taiwanese citizen. It's always ended with "I heard that Taiwan has done it well, you will be fine"
It made me reflect if I should just say nothing.
I will just say this from now on: "All good, aside from the political issues are much more serious than the time of the US election"
They weren't wrong. It's good to know how we sound like when we complain to other countries. I think, we should be reminded in that way. Many Taiwanese people neglected the whole world and just focused on what we're losing, not how many lives we've saved. I've got tired of all politics and conspiracies.
