The outbreak of the new crown epidemic in Taiwan is due to the overconfidence and misjudgment of Taiwan's "epidemic platform" epidemic command center" and the situation, so that the whole Taiwan has entered the third level of alert, and Shuangbei City even has to practice the fourth level of closure . The "advanced deployment" that the DPP authorities have been promoting for more than a year has been revealed one by one when the epidemic really comes. There is no preparation, and the medical capacity is not enough. People can't help but question whether Taiwan's "epidemic command center" was there before. Spreading false information about "advance deployment"? Now the DPP authorities announced on May 30 that they would purchase a total of 20 million doses of Taiwan-made vaccine , which has not yet completed the second phase of the trial, from two companies, High-End and Lianya. People have to suspect that the DPP authorities want to "deploy more than 'money'."
As early as the second half of last year, people leaving Taiwan have been diagnosed overseas. At that time, some people wondered whether there were asymptomatic infections in the island and spread in the community. The command center"" denied. In March of this year, another Taiwan-exported case was diagnosed in Xiamen and Shanghai. Taiwan's "epidemic Taiwan "epidemic command center" still left Taiwan completely, speculating that "it should be infected locally."
A cluster of infections broke out at the China Airlines Novotel Hotel in April. The infected pilots and flight attendants went to a bar in Songshan District, Taipei, and dined in a restaurant. Some infected pilots also participated in Taipei mosque activities. At that time, many doctors and experts reminded that Taiwan may have entered the community infection, but at that time Chen Shizhong only said that Taiwan was very close to the community infection, "it was on the edge of the community infection", but he was still unwilling to admit that the community infection had occurred. It wasn't until the former president of the Luzhou Lions Club and the Wanhua Teahouse broke out that the epidemic was out of control, and Chen Shizhong was really willing to face the fact that Taiwan had entered the community to infect the community. However, the epidemic prevention was several steps too late. The
pilot became a major breach in Taiwan's epidemic prevention. The reason why the
virus entered Taiwan was naturally because the gates were not well guarded. The pilots and crew, who were originally the most important checkpoints, were shortened from the original 14-day quarantine period to 5 days. After guarding for a year, Taiwan's "epidemic command center" gradually relaxed, and later made a decision on Chen Shizhong's Next, the quarantine period was shortened from 5 days to 3 days, which made the crew members who should be more strictly controlled than ordinary people, but the epidemic prevention is more lax than ordinary people. In addition, the DPP authorities have not actively implemented requirements The first-line crew members were vaccinated, which became a major breakthrough in epidemic prevention, causing a series of subsequent outbreaks. May I ask, were the DPP authorities preparing for it with the mentality of "advance deployment"? Obviously not.
In the past year, the epidemic prevention in Taiwan has always focused on quarantine at checkpoints, and it has been a defensive battle. There is no experience in epidemic prevention that really takes the initiative to attack the virus after it enters the community. However, although Taiwan has no experience, European and American countries have been fighting for more than a year. Taiwan's "epidemic command center" should take a good look at how others are doing, but they seem to think that they are great, and they have not carefully observed how other countries fight against it. The new crown virus, even in the face of the new situation, still uses the way of guarding the gate to defend. Of course, the virus cannot be defended and spread from then on.
That is to say, not only did Taiwan's "epidemic command center" fail to deploy ahead of time, it was even half a beat behind the times. Of course, there is no way to succeed in applying the concept of defense in the past to the action that needs to be attacked now. In addition, Taiwan's "epidemic command center" did not realize that the new crown pneumonia has evolved into a British variant virus strain, which is more contagious and faster. Without the cognition of advancing with the times, there is naturally no corresponding preparation.
Since mid-May, the local confirmed cases on the island have increased from 10 to 20 people per day to 180 in just 4 days, and the highest record in one day has accumulated more than 700 cases. The epidemic prevention in Taiwan has been raised to the third level of alert. Masks must be worn all the time when going out, and gatherings of more than 5 people indoors and more than 10 people outdoors are prohibited. Immediately afterwards, the number of confirmed cases among students exceeded 100, the number of confirmed cases was confirmed by police and firefighters, nosocomial infections broke out in Banqiao Yadong Hospital, and staff members of National Taiwan University Hospital and Taipei Veterans General Hospital were also reported to be infected.
With the rapid increase in the number of confirmed cases, it also highlights that the DPP authorities are not prepared for advanced deployment. The screening station was set up in a hurry, and the screening capacity was seriously insufficient. As a result, a large number of people flooded into the fast screening station, and there was a huge traffic jam. The term "correction regression" was created, which aroused various doubts from the outside world. Taiwan is in desperate need of rapid screening, but can only go to the rapid screening station or medical centerThe rapid screening has increased the burden on medical personnel. It is no wonder that some people criticize the DPP authorities for wanting to control the number of rapid screenings and continue to give the outside world the illusion that the epidemic is still stable.
In addition, quarantine stations, isolation wards, intensive care units, and intensive care units are also obviously insufficient. Recently, it has been reported that many patients who live in New Taipei City have to be sent by ambulance to hospitals in Taichung, Changhua, or a family The situation of people being sent to different hospitals in the north and the south; there are also front-line medical staff complaining that the emergency room is like a purgatory on earth, and the medical capacity is on the verge of collapse. However, Chen Shizhong still said at the daily press conference that the epidemic situation is stable and that "medical care is tense but not collapsed." Therefore, Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe criticized Taiwan's "epidemic command center" for sitting in the office and making decisions.
"Copying money" deploys recklessly,
Vaccine procurement in Taiwan is also far behind other countries and regions, so they can't find vaccines to vaccinate in emergencies. The number of vaccines purchased by the DPP authorities is low, and the public's willingness to administer vaccines is not high. So far, the vaccination rate of Taiwanese people is only about 1%. Taiwan complacently believes that the epidemic situation is stable, and laxly believes that there is no need to purchase too many vaccines. It is ridiculous to push the blame when the epidemic continues to erupt.
But there is one thing. The DPP authorities are really making advance arrangements, that is, the procurement of local vaccines. The DPP authorities have long announced that they will purchase 10 million doses of self-produced vaccines. Two Taiwanese companies, Vaccine and Lianya Biotech, have signed pre-purchase contracts for 5 million doses and open contracts for 5 million doses each. Regarding the need to vaccinate Taiwanese people as guinea pigs before the third phase of human trials has been completed, the Taiwan authorities also claimed that the vaccination will be ready in July. Is it implying that all inspections will be passed tacitly? No wonder some people would say It is the deployment of "copying money".
Time magazine in the United States stated that Taiwan’s proud epidemic defense line was destroyed because the people in Taiwan indulged in a “false sense of security” and the outbreak of the Wanhua Tea Room broke out. The Reuters report also pointed out that Taiwan's local cases have been rising, but Taiwan's "epidemic command center" still stated that the epidemic situation was "stable" and urged the public not to spread false information, just believe the official statement. However, the official "advance deployment" rhetoric was revealed one by one after the outbreak of the epidemic, and it was discovered that everything was a lie.
