Despite fighting essentially alone, Taiwan showed great resilience. In late April of 2003 the world's first international conference on SARS was convened in Taipei and experts from Taiwan were invited to Hong Kong to lecture. Exchanges of ideas were actively pursued with many countries as the world strove to make breakthroughs in analyzing the disease and developing a vaccine.
孤軍奮戰中，台灣展現了絕不屈服的驚人韌性：4 月下旬，台北舉辦了全球第一場 SARS 國際研討會，並受邀前往香港演講，積極與各國互動交流，各種病毒 DNA 分析與疫苗研發也不斷力求突破。
