Changes in the epidemic have become the biggest variable for candidates from all parties to the end of the year. Although the candidate for mayor of blue, green and white is not clear, the candidate for Taipei City Deputy Mayor Huang Shanshan, who represents the People's Party, and the potential voter of the Green Camp Chen Shizhong, head of the health department of the DPP authorities, also had the opportunity to be exposed frequently due to epidemic prevention. In comparison, the Kuomintang "legislator" Jiang Wanan has no chance of performance and has limited exposure. However, because of the diagnosis, Jiang recently made a lot of money by talking about the epidemic through live broadcast during home quarantine, and instead made a wave of traffic.
After Jiang Wanan confirmed to be diagnosed with COVID-19 last week, he also announced yesterday (May 10) when he was broadcasting live with Taipei City Councilman Xu Qiaoxin that his wife Shi Fanggen and his second son Jiang Deyu, who is only nine months old, were also diagnosed and he is currently taking care of him. During the live broadcast in the evening, Jiang Deyu was restless and coughed from time to time, which accidentally stole the spotlight.
Kuomintang City Councilor Wang Hongwei analyzed that Chen Shizhong and Huang Shanshan's epidemic prevention performance is related to their satisfaction. Recently, the people attach great importance to epidemic prevention. Their advantage is that they have a stage for performance. However, the DPP authorities and counties and cities have often triggered war of words to prevent the epidemic recently. The people are already very anxious and they have to see them quarrel and may also be disgusted. This is also beneficial to Jiang Wan'an. DPP city councillor Liang Wenjie also admitted that changes in the epidemic will have a great impact on Chen Shizhong.
Jiang Wanan announced his diagnosis on the evening of the 7th. That night, he explained the situation to the outside world through Facebook live broadcast, which unexpectedly attracted many people to watch. The number of likes was nearly 20,000, and even his opponent Huang Shanshan followed him silently. Although Huang Shanshan said that the editor was very serious afterwards, Jiang did attract a lot of attention through the live broadcast.
As a confirmed case, Jiang Wanan talked about the DPP authorities' issues in epidemic prevention and the empathy for the people infected with the epidemic, which is even more convincing. Taiwanese media believe that it may not be a bad thing for him. Although he is in quarantine recently, he is still diligent in caring about epidemic prevention and questioning politics through video questions. He also expresses his views on the epidemic on social media platforms every day. For example, he also proposed to the DPP authorities that the new crown oral medicine should be delegated to grassroots clinics so that mild patients can get more proper medical care.
Wang Hongwei said that if the DPP authorities and counties and cities just spit out, the people would also feel that Chen Shizhong is now in a state of anxiety and is not optimistic about the DPP. Instead, Chiang performed more favorably in his political inquiries.
Liang Wenjie said that if Taiwan reaches the peak of the epidemic in July and is very close to the election, the epidemic prevention performance during this period will be related to the polls between Huang Shanshan and Chen Shizhong. Although Jiang Wanan was marginalized in the epidemic, if Chen Shizhong performed poorly, it may also have a great impact.
People's Party Councilman Lin Guocheng said that Huang Shanshan is now the deputy mayor of Taipei City, and her epidemic prevention work has been examined by citizens. As long as the Taipei City Government does not cause too many problems, the current situation is high, and Jiang Wan'an's part has no chance of epidemic prevention performance.
He also analyzed that Chen Shizhong was in charge of the whole of Taiwan, but judging from the previous "mask chaos" to the "quick screen chaos", the people inevitably questioned whether he could handle the Taipei municipal affairs well. In addition, Chen Shizhong once said that 0,000 is a "breakthrough", and Wanhua's tickets will definitely not be high, which is also the point deduction.
