Let's organize this content with Cho Dong-chan, a medical professional reporter.



Q. Isn't it the worst?



[Cho Dong-chan, medical reporter (specialist): On Wednesday last week, experts predicted that the number would exceed 10,000 today, but it has increased less than that. Let's see why. If you look at SK Telecom's mobile-based movement, the movement has declined from the first week of December. This week was down 2.4% from last week. At least two weeks ago, people have been voluntary social distancing. This did not dampen the number of confirmed cases itself, but it seems to have softened the steep rise to some extent. In order to lead to a decrease in the number of confirmed cases, a more dramatic reduction in the amount of movement is required, but a more precise adjustment is needed.]



Q. To make a 'precise adjustment'



[Cho Dong-chan, medical reporter (specialist): Let's look at the new confirmed cases today. Those in their 60s accounted for the most at 19%, and those in their teens and twenties each fell below 10%. And if you look at the route of infection in the last two weeks, only 4% of infections in nursing homes for the elderly and 48% come from community contact. After all, it is correct to block community infection over the age of 60, but did the elderly get infected by staying up late at night in restaurants and cafes? Older people are more likely to become infected during the day while meeting their children or friends. This seems to be a better way to explain and persuade rather than coerce. In addition, the third vaccination rate for those in their 60s or older is only 42%, and it seems more urgent to raise this quickly.



Q. What about the collapse of the medical system?



[Cho Dong-chan, medical reporter (specialist): The president of the Korean Society of Emergency Medicine interviewed the media that 99% of general patients are not being properly treated because of 1% corona patients, and that it was before the implementation of With Corona.

Let’s take a look at the data on the number of 33 major surgeries in Korea over the past five years, released today by the National Health Insurance Corporation.

As the aging population progresses, the number of domestic surgeries increases year by year, but as you can see from the blue color last year, it actually decreased.

Stent surgery for patients with myocardial infarction, which are essential, and gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients have also been reduced.

There are no statistics stating that these patients have decreased, so we are only giving the number of surgeries.

It is not a problem unique to our country, and it is not easy to find an answer, but in times like these, we need to calmly check the priority of medical resource allocation.]
