 地球，人間煉獄 (240期)：COVID-19：

防疫新目標重症清零做得到

台灣5日新增216例本土確診個案，中央流行疫情指揮中心指揮官陳時中研判疫情尚未達高峰。對此，台大公衛系教授 #陳秀熙 今天(6日)表示，目前疫情控制已轉為重症監控，只要每波群聚感染的人數能控制在100例以內，仍可達到 #重症清零 的目標。

上海女子乘16小時巴士前往隔離中心，唯一願望是活着離開 上海一名女子在核酸檢測結果出現異常十天後，被迫乘坐16小時巴士趕往隔離設施，她唯一的願望就是活着離開那裡。

The current outbreak has already surpassed the number of infections found in the early days of the pandemic.

Shanghai defends policy of separating Covid-positive children from families, as frustration at virus controls

Shanghai modifies Covid policy

In a reversal, Shanghai officials will allow parents who test positive for the coronavirus to stay with their children who have also tested positive. Those families will be sent to centralized isolation facilities.

But parents who test negative will still be separated from their infected children, authorities said, citing China’s national virus-control guidelines.

The policy change follows days of widespread outcry and online fury: Photos and video began circulating of young children crying at a Shanghai hospital. Some photos showed multiple children sharing a crib in what appeared to be a hallway of the hospital. Many said that the response to the virus was worse than the virus itself.

Officials called the response a clarification of their parental-accompaniment policy, but the hospital acknowledged the photos and video were real and did not deny that Covid-positive families were being separated. 上海修改Covid政策 相反，上海官員將允許冠狀病毒檢測呈陽性的父母與檢測呈陽性的孩子呆在一起。這些家庭將被送往集中隔離設施。 但當局援引中國的國家病毒控制指南表示，檢測結果為陰性的父母仍將與受感染的孩子分開。 政策變化是在數日來廣泛抗議和網上憤怒之後發生的：照片和視頻開始流傳，上海一家醫院的幼兒哭泣。一些照片顯示多個孩子在醫院走廊里共用一張嬰兒床。許多人說，對病毒的反應比病毒本身還要糟糕。 官員們稱這一回應是對他們的父母陪伴政策的澄清，但醫院承認照片和視頻是真實的，並沒有否認 Covid 陽性家庭正在被分開。 Reaction: Many Weibo users were not appeased, sharing frustrations under a hashtag viewed more than 80 million times. 反應：許多微博用戶沒有得到安撫，在標籤下分享了挫敗感，超過 8000 萬次瀏覽量。
