According to Taiwan media reports on May 4, the number of newly diagnosed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Taiwan has exceeded 20,000 in a single day. The epidemic is expected to continue to soar, and the demand for rapid screening reagents is even greater. However, since the DPP authorities promoted the "real-name system for rapid screening" for six days, people are still queuing up to buy and complaining that they cannot buy them. Even the "Green Committee" admitted that " There is indeed a traffic jam in buying." The "government and opposition" also demanded that the price of rapid screening reagents should be reduced again, but Chen Shizhong, the epidemic prevention commander, claimed that if the official sold it very cheaply, he would have to worry about hoarding, and his remarks sparked controversy again.
There were 23,102 new local cases in Taiwan yesterday (3), of which New Taipei City had nearly 10,000 cases, Taipei City had 4,806 cases, Taoyuan City had 3,604 cases, and Keelung City had 1,220 cases. The "command center" estimates that the epidemic will reach its peak in late May, and the highest number of confirmed cases in a single day is estimated to be 200,000. What is more noteworthy is that the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) released the latest risk assessment travel list yesterday. Taiwan was previously classified as low-risk (Level 1), and it will be upgraded to a "moderate-risk country" from now on. (Level 2), the US CDC does not recommend traveling to Taiwan. Foreign media pointed out that this latest tourist list is not good news for Taiwan.
The epidemic has a fever, and the supply of rapid screening reagents is in short supply. There are often queues outside pharmacies across Taiwan. New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi said that the delivery time of "Commanding" to each pharmacy is not stable every day. A total of nearly 70,000 copies of quick-screening reagents are distributed by a pharmacy, which is about 2 million copies a month. If there are 2 million people in New Taipei City who want to buy quick-screening reagents, on average, one person will have to wait a month to buy a box. Many citizens Can't buy it.
Hou Youyi said that if the amount of rapid screening reagents is sufficient, it is of course best to supply them uniformly across Taiwan. If not, the situation in each region should be considered to meet the needs of the public for rapid screening reagents. It should be easy for the public to buy them. relatively smooth.
KMT Taipei City Councilor Wang Hongwei also analyzed that there are 4,967 real-name sales outlets for rapid screening in Taiwan, and the maximum daily supply of rapid screening is about 390,000 copies. If Taiwan's working population is 11.44 million people, each person has to wait in line for 30 days on average. "If there is a confirmed case, after 30 days, I don't know where it has gone. How to prevent the epidemic?"
The demand for screening reagents is high, and the party group of the Kuomintang legislature questioned that the purchase price of rapid screening reagents is only 67 yuan (NT dollars, the same below), so why does it cost more than 100 yuan per dose? "Green Committee" Gao Jiayu also hopes that the price of quick screening can be cheaper than overseas sales.
Chen Shizhong responded that he didn't know where the figure of 67 yuan came from. The purchase price of the imported quick screening was 95 yuan, and the price of Taiwan's self-produced one was 74.5 yuan. The middle includes labeling, distribution, logistics, pharmacist service fees, etc. Of course, he hopes that the cheaper the rapid screening reagent, the better, but if the official provides it for free or is very cheap, he will worry about hoarding.
Zheng Yunpeng, secretary-general of the Democratic Progressive Party League of the legislature, said that each dose of the rapid screening reagent is priced at 100 yuan. Don’t think that the manufacturer deliberately cheats the official. The price difference also includes shipping costs, just like the previous mask price, it also includes shipping and pharmacy sales cost. He threatened that there is no need for the DPP authorities to buy expensive ones, because the prices are publicly available. But Zheng Yunpeng also bluntly said that the most important thing now is when the 100 million doses of rapid screening reagents purchased by the government will be in place, so that the public does not have to wait in line. Nowadays, there are indeed various needs such as isolation, school children, and parents. There is indeed a traffic jam when purchasing. The "command center" and health authorities should reassure everyone as soon as possible. Hong Mengkai, a "legislator" of the Kuomintang, pointed out that Taiwanese people found "unstable supply", "insufficient quantity" and "opaque prices" in the process of purchasing rapid screening reagents. The "command center" should regularly announce how many quick screening reagents are in stock, and stop releasing "78 boxes of toothpaste every day,Play the Hunger Games with people! "Hong Mengkai also pointed out that the price of each dose now ranges from 59 yuan to 230 yuan, but the "real-name system for rapid screening reagents" purchased by the DPP authorities is the largest, so it should be the cheapest.
" Shen Fuxiong said on Facebook yesterday that more than 17,000 people diagnosed in a single day have already become a mess, and if more than 100,000 people are diagnosed in the future, the world will be in chaos. Today's chaos comes from the "quick screening" and the new "3+4 days" of housing separation. Unexpectedly, the changes became more and more chaotic, and it was entirely due to human conspiracy, not the fault of the virus.
"The Power of the Times" Mindai Wang Wanyu pointed out that the current "real-name system for rapid screening reagents" is very chaotic. Not only is the distribution of each base unclear, It also led to long queues for everyone to buy rapid screening reagents. She questioned whether such group gatherings would lead to the spread of the epidemic instead?
