King Chwan-chuen, a professor in the Institute of Epidemiology at National Taiwan University jests (using a facetious reference to the ROC's former policy toward mainland China) that the attitude of government agencies toward several recent epidemics was "the three no's": no acknowledgment, no response, and striving to convince the public that there was "no need to panic."
台大流行病研究所教授金傳春形容，過去幾次傳染病大流行，有關單位總是使出「三不政策」，除了「不承認」、「不應變」，還要再加上極力呼籲民眾「不必恐慌」。
