[Cross-Strait Quick Review No. 952]
Taiwan’s "Pandemic Epidemic Command Center" announced on the 16th that the Philippines has recently detected 6 patients with new coronary pneumonia who entered the country from Taiwan.
Comprehensive Taiwan media reported that the six cases exported from Taiwan were all Filipino workers. Only one case developed fever on the day of entry into the Philippines, and the rest were asymptomatic.
This news makes people worry about how many such asymptomatic confirmed patients are still on the island of Taiwan?
Why are these patients not detected on the island, and they were not found positive until the entry and exit tests?
You must know that this is not the first time that Taiwan has exported cases. There have been 13 patients with new coronary pneumonia who have left Taiwan before. These patients have gone to Japan, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Shanghai and other places.
It's just that the cases exported in the past are only one or two sporadic cases each time it is found. This is the first time that 6 patients have been clustered together like this.
Does this mean that the epidemic situation on the island has become more and more serious?
Is the new crown virus infecting them out of thin air?
If Taiwan cannot find out, either someone deliberately concealed the epidemic, or there are loopholes in epidemic prevention.
The current strategy adopted by the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center is to conduct nucleic acid testing only when there are cases.
In recent times, many foreigners have been diagnosed with the virus after returning from Taiwan. It can be seen that a considerable number of people on the island have been infected with the virus but have not been found.
Many people who are found to be infected with the virus are asymptomatic, and asymptomatic infection must be very close contact.
However, the DPP authorities killed the island in one bite. The island is in good condition and does not conduct large-scale testing.
What's more, Taiwan's Changhua County Health Bureau recently detected the confirmed case on its own, exposing the "epidemic prevention myth" of the DPP authorities, and was actually investigated by the "political style" of the Taiwan authorities, who turned into anger.
Such incidents inevitably make people suspect. The reason why the DPP authorities did not expand testing is to cover the truth and deceive the people. Even the patients who were exported from Taiwan, who were detected overseas, also came up with all kinds of excuses to deny shirk and say what" "Weak positive", "false positive", and "airport-infected", but a Belgian engineer who had been in Taiwan for more than two months returned to China and was tested for the virus. Isn't the most suspected infection in Taiwan?
Could it be that Taiwan also has to learn from the West, if it is not tested or not, is it necessary to let Taiwanese people carry out the so-called "herd immunity"?
In all fairness, the death rate of the new coronavirus is not high, which is verified by worldwide data.
However, the damage caused by infection has been verified all over the world. The first is lung damage, which poses a huge health threat to the people.
Don't think that asymptomatic infections are not terrible, because our current understanding of the new crown epidemic is constantly improving. As the base of infected people increases, it is not ruled out that the new crown virus will have an ADE effect. ADE is the abbreviation of antibody-dependent enhancement, Chinese Translated as "antibody-dependent enhancement".
The explanation in simple and plain terms is that people who have gotten the disease and then recovered, get the disease again, not only will not be immune, but it will also increase the death rate.
The ADE effect of dengue fever can increase mortality by 300 times, from 0.1% to 30%.
This means that the theory of advocating herd immunity is a complete failure.
The data on the Taiwan epidemic is so weird at present. Can Taiwanese politicians say that there is no community infection in one sentence, that there is zero diagnosis in Taiwan, and that there is no epidemic in Taiwan in one sentence?
For the sake of political interests, does the Taiwan authorities not even take the basic responsibility of safeguarding people's lives?
Even if this danger is only possible, the DPP authorities should put people's lives and health as the most important thing, take precautions, prevent the slightest failure, and prepare for it in advance.
However, in the face of the huge hidden dangers of the epidemic on the island, the DPP authorities still boast about their achievements in epidemic prevention.
Netizens were angry and uttered on the Internet: "I suspect that Taiwan has no detection capabilities at all!" "Taiwan has never been able to find the source of infection is the most terrible!" "In addition to fraudulent syndicates, Taiwan is now also exporting new crown diagnoses. A great achievement!" However, all these people's livelihoods are suffering. Can the officials of the DPP authorities hear a few words in their ears?
