之後《脈搏》再度跟艾沃德連線,希望艾沃德能就台灣防疫的表現做出一些評論時(I just want to see if you can comment a bit on how Taiwan has done so far, in terms of contraining the virus.)艾沃德卻迴避的回應:「我們已經說過中國情況了,而且就像你知道的,當你觀察所有中國不同地區時,他們真的做的很好!」(Well, we've already talk about China,and you know, when you look across all the different areas of China, they've actually done quite a good job.)接著就草草結束訪問。
