Regarding the Tsai government’s resumption of religious vocations at the moment of the epidemic, it happened that the confirmed vocation personnel were “released” by the military. The Kuomintang held a press conference today (5th) to ridicule, “The National Army cannot be inferior to the Internet Army”, and even named President Tsai Ing-wen, as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, who should pay more attention to the rights and interests of the soldiers.
He Zhiyong, vice-chairman of the Kuomintang Culture and Communication Association, pointed out that those who are recruited in camps are regarded as active-duty soldiers, and it is the responsibility of the state to take care of the reserve soldiers. If the vocation is to continue, those who are diagnosed or quarantined due to the vocation will be deemed to have the “call period” extended during the period of infection and isolation, continue to be paid, and bear all medical and family care expenses. For those who are in close contact, the national army will send “epidemic prevention buses” directly to the hospital for testing or return home for isolation, rather than allowing them to take the public transportation system, and the risk is passed on to the society.
Lin Jiaxing, vice-chairman of the Kuomintang Cultural Communication Association, said that after investigation and comparison of media reports and the information disclosed by friends of the parties on the Internet, it can be seen that in the two confirmed cases of teachers in Pingtung and Kaohsiung, different camps and troops have different treatments. Condition. In the case of Fangliao in Pingtung City, the army did not release the confirmed people from the call, nor did they list the contacts, but released them early on the day of the call; in the case of Hsinchu, the confirmed caller was suspected of being discharged early. Zhao was expelled from the camp and did not assist in arranging transportation. He was left to cough and runny nose alone in the cold wind of the station. No one answered the call of 1922. The whole incident was not exposed until friends went online for help. The situation does need to be improved.
Gao Ningsong, a former major general of the gendarmerie command, also said that if he was diagnosed as a result of teaching, he was directly cut by the national army, and the losses suffered by isolation and medical treatment were all responsible for the reserve soldiers themselves. At the same time, the people who were dispatched to return home are likely to take the public transportation system. Isn’t the national army passing the risk of infection to the passengers of the public transportation system? It is called on the camps of the national army that have been idle due to the reduction of personnel to be used for epidemic prevention and isolation.
Liang Wenzheng, the former deputy chief of staff of the Reserve Command, also pointed out that in his own experience in serving in the reserve system, when encountering natural disasters, the government will sign an “open contract” with the private sector to requisition machinery and equipment. Medical and evacuation resources must be prepared in advance. This part should also be signed by the government and the private sector. Is the national army ready?
He Zhiyong called on the government to take good care of the teachers if the teaching is to continue, and if it cannot be done, it should suspend the teaching first, “President Tsai, don’t let the society think that you are more concerned with the cyber army than the national army. it is good.”
