摘要

SARS是二十一世紀初第一個致命性的新病毒，在2003年台灣特別遭受此冠狀病毒威脅，本研究探討為何島上受創嚴重。我國與中國大陸、香港有著密切的經貿往來，但政治層面卻是被孤立的，以致我們並非WHO的會員國之一。然而，我國在全球經濟排名仍位居第十四，資訊科技已是領導地位，生物科技領域也具備專業水準，此可由對抗SARS病毒期間的應用證明之。一些國家與公司企業在此期間對台灣提供協助，台灣也將其抗疫經驗與全世界分享。雖然最後成功的控制住疫情，但初期在醫療院所的病毒蔓延卻值得深省。本研究嘗試分析在對抗致命性新病毒時可以避免的錯誤。

The country has very important commercial ties with China and Hong Kong, but is politically isolated. As a result, Taiwan is not a member of the WHO. The island, the 14th economic world power, is a leader in information technology and has a good expertise in biotechnology, two fields that proved useful in the fight against the virus. Many countries and firms decided to offer help to the island. Taiwan also shared its discoveries with the rest of the world. But despite many successes, the virus began to spread like fire in Taiwanese hospitals. This paper will try to analyze what went wrong and what mistakes could have been avoided.
