China News Service, May 23. According to Taiwan's "United Daily News", since April this year, a total of 543 new crown confirmed patients in Taiwan have died, of which 100 cases were diagnosed on the same day as the date of death (18%), 77 (14%). %) died the next day after the diagnosis, 49 people were diagnosed after they died (9%), and a total of 41% of the deaths were caused by rapid death after diagnosis and too late to be diagnosed.
Su Yiren, the former director of the "CDC" of the Taiwan authorities, said that the above statistics indicate that there are problems with the epidemic prevention system and medical system.
On the 22nd, there were 79,441 new local cases of the new crown in Taiwan, a slight decrease from the previous day, an additional 53 deaths, and 256 more cases of moderate and severe cases, a new high since the epidemic.
Chen Shizhong, commander of the Epidemic Epidemic Command Center, said, "The current epidemic is at a plateau, and whether there will be a peak, we will have to look again." Zhuang Renxiang, a spokesman for the command center, said that high, medium and low estimates have been made before, and the peak of the epidemic should be It is estimated that 100,000 people are diagnosed in a single day, and it is estimated that there may be a significant decline in the end of July.
From today onwards, the application of "quick screening positives as confirmed diagnosis" will be extended to ethnic minorities and people on outlying islands. Chen Shizhong said that once the administrative notification process is confirmed, it will be announced this week that the principle of "quick screening positives are regarded as confirmed diagnoses" will be applied to all people, as long as In line with the indications of oral antiviral drugs, the drugs are prescribed directly by the physician.

Su Yiren said that with the surge in the number of confirmed cases, in addition to the major challenges faced by the epidemic prevention system, there are also difficulties such as congestion of medical channels, gradual shortage of medical capacity, and poor quality of care.
For example, if the front-end quick-screening positive people line up for PCR testing, they may have to wait 3 or 4 days for the results, but as long as the elderly take 3 or 4 days and fail to take medicine in time, the situation will become very difficult, and the situation will become very difficult. The time of diagnosis and death is very close.
