The number of confirmed cases in Kaohsiung exceeds that of Taipei in a single day, Chen Qimai was questioned for using the delay of the test as an excuse to justify
[Global Times Comprehensive Report] Local cases on the island have risen again, with 82,363 new cases on the 24th, 251 new cases of moderate and severe cases, and 42 new deaths among the confirmed cases.
Recently, the number of new local cases in Taiwan has basically remained at 60,000-80,000.
Taiwan's epidemic prevention commander Chen Shizhong said on the 24th that Taiwanese people have a high awareness of independent epidemic prevention, the vaccination rate is better than that of neighboring regions, and the epidemic trend is stable. He analyzed that the number of cases will not increase sharply in the short term, but the increase is inevitable.
However, child deaths are still increasing.
The United News Network said that another child died on the 24th, a 10-year-old boy.
He had no history of chronic medical conditions, but after diagnosis he developed encephalitis with multiple organ abnormalities.
According to the report, a total of 14 cases of severe children have been reported in Taiwan. After review and analysis, there were 5 deaths related to new coronary pneumonia, including four cases of encephalitis, and one case of death at home. After forensic analysis, it was found to be infected with new coronary pneumonia.
Chen Shizhong said that he has always attached great importance to children with severe cases, but he did not expect that there would be relatively many cases.
Taiwan's "China Times" said on the 24th that the number of confirmed cases of children in Taiwan has surged, and the proportion of encephalitis is higher than that in neighboring areas.
Lin Qianyu, director of the Department of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Mackay Hospital in Hsinchu, speculated that it might be related to race, but it has not been confirmed.
The high mortality rate of children makes parents very worried.
On the 24th, the 13th phase of the vaccine reservation system in Taipei City opened for children aged 5 to 11 to receive the Fubitai vaccine. As a result, almost all clinics were killed on the same day, and the parents who did not grab it had to wait.
In addition, the number of confirmed cases in Kaohsiung surpassed that in Taipei, causing concern on the island.
On the 23rd, there were 7,185 new cases in Taipei and 7,266 in Kaohsiung. Kaohsiung surpassed Taipei for the first time.
On the 24th, Kaohsiung still had more confirmed cases than Taipei.
Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Qimai, a member of the Democratic Progressive Party, argued that this was mainly due to the impact of laboratory energy, and that there would be some "black numbers" in the north. .
He obviously insinuated that some people in Taipei did not go further to do nucleic acid testing after they were quickly tested positive, but "hide themselves", so the number in Taipei is lower than that in Kaohsiung.
United News Network asked on the 24th, is there no one in Kaohsiung who hides themselves?
The article said that instead of trying to find excuses, Chen Qimai should quickly come up with countermeasures to deal with the new trend of the epidemic. "Experience tells us that in the case of the epidemic, everything is 'on time' and will eventually become a backward deployment."
