Comprehensive Taiwan media reports, former deputy leader of Taiwan, Chen Jianren, said on the 16th that Taiwan’s two-dose vaccination rate exceeded 70%, and “coexisting with the virus” is a “country with high vaccine coverage”. For example, the UK calls on the public to learn to coexist with the virus. Israel and Singapore no longer pursue “zero confirmed cases”, while Taiwanese people already have sufficient epidemic prevention capabilities and knowledge, and the masses’ psychology and social atmosphere are willing to cooperate with epidemic prevention work, so there is no need to be afraid of “coexisting with the virus.”

At a new book sharing meeting held on the 16th, Chen Jianren, one of the authors, spoke with the title "Taiwan's Scientific Way to Fight the Epidemic", and praised the Taiwan authorities' epidemic prevention practices.
According to Chen Jianren, it is difficult to exterminate the new coronavirus. It not only consumes time and money, but also seriously consumes social and economic costs. The new coronavirus will also "fluenize", with high contagion but low virulence. For example, the mortality rate of the new coronavirus in Norway is 5% of ten thousand, which is similar to common cold and flu . He further boasted that the Taiwanese authorities have prepared quick screening, vaccines, and oral medications, so the people on the island should not be afraid.

Chen Jianren also declared that "only Taiwan in the world can master close contacts so accurately ." He reiterated the political operational statements of the DPP authorities in anti-Public Screening and anti-lockdown, claiming that many places around the world have adopted epidemic prevention measures such as blockade or general screening because they cannot accurately grasp close contacts.
However, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage the world, doctors on the island are worried that if Taiwanese society gives up resistance to COVID-19 and chooses to "coexist with the virus", the first one will be the "blood and sweat" medical staff.
psychiatrist Pan Jianzhi, a psychiatrist at Wanfang Hospital in Taiwan, wrote on Facebook on the 15th that mild symptoms of Omickron do not mean that there is no need to get vaccinated. He quoted a study conducted in Southern California, USA, saying that compared with Delta , the hospitalization rate of Omickron patients is relatively high.
Pan Jianzhi said: "The number of hospitalizations among patients infected with Omickron still increases significantly. If the medical system is overwhelmed and collapses and cannot maintain medical quality, the ratio of severe illness and death will not be so low."
's view of "coexisting with the new crown" has also aroused discussion among Taiwanese netizens. A netizen posted a post through PTT on the topic "Taiwanese 484 cannot coexist with the virus", saying that the epidemic is raging in the United States, and the number of new confirmed cases in the local area is almost over one million, and the epidemic in the UK and France is also quite severe; but with the increase in vaccination rate, the chance of severe patients has dropped a lot, "Whether Omickron should be defined as a small cold?"

As soon as the post was released, netizens left messages, "It's right to wear a mask, don't think so much", "You little ghost, check the sequelae of the new crown yourself", "Are you sure that non-severe illness is equivalent to a small cold?"
Some netizens said, "It's not objectively possible, and the medical energy is probably exploded directly. Before, 300 to 400 cases were confirmed every day, and there were only a lot of news in the hospital. They often operate at high intensity, and they can't cope with the impact, just like power supply on the ghost island." Some netizens also believed that "the purpose of coexistence is to maintain the economy, not to let you play", "It's impossible, if there are more confirmed cases, who will be asked to step down and take responsibility", "Europe and the United States have no choice but to coexist, and it's not originally cleared."
