Taiwanese Vice President Chen Chien-jen is a world renowned epidemiologist and so it is perhaps no surprise that they were so well prepared, and acted so quickly and so decisively.
I think where are at now with two days in a row of less than a 100 new cases and the trend being further decline is not just pretty good, but is sensational.
Deputy Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly says it is not the time to ease social distancing restrictions or leave the house for Easter, saying Australia is on the cusp of seeing the epidemic die out.

Meanwhile, Australia could be "on the cusp" of slowing the infections of coronavirus to the point that the epidemic "dies out", Australia's Deputy Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly has said.
Professor Kelly said the number of people infected by one person with COVID-19 was a key component in understanding how it spreads.
"Ideally where you want to be is below one, so less than one other person being infected after a person themselves had the infection," he said.
"And once you get to that point, the virus dies out, or the epidemic dies out. And so at the moment we're probably on the cusp of that in Australia."
But he stressed that such an outcome remained dependent on Australians continuing to follow the physical-distancing directives in place.
"This is not time for us to be changing the rules in terms of social distancing and the other things we've done in society over recent weeks," he said.
