The DPP authorities' "Epidemic Command Center" announced yesterday (22) that 42,212 new local cases and 285 migration from abroad were added, and 59 deaths and 275 moderate to severe cases were confirmed. His own media person Chen Wenqian bluntly stated that Omickron BA5 is the fastest spreading virus in history. Taiwan ranks fourth in the world in the number of confirmed cases this week, and Taiwan's current mortality rate is 210 times higher than that of Singapore html and 3 times that of Hong Kong, China. Taiwan has once again become the region with the highest per capita confirmed case in the world, which must not be ignored.
Chen Wenxi posted on Facebook late yesterday night saying that Omickron BA5 is coming in full force, and Taiwan ranks fourth in the world with the highest per capita number this week. BA5 is the fastest spreading virus in history. Although it is not as severe as early Delta and has drugs, the diagnosis rate is very high.
Chen Wenxi pointed out that the Omickron vaccine currently purchased in Taiwan is a BA1 vaccine. Who should be given the vaccine? Zhan Changquan, Dean of the Institute of Public Health, School of Medicine, Taiwan University, lists several types of people who must be given a vaccine, especially those who have not received a vaccine in the past, who have only given a dose of vaccine, or who have given a vaccine for AZ, should be given a vaccine.
In response to the current epidemic, Chen Wenqian emphasized that the current mortality rate in Taiwan is 10 times higher than that in Singapore and 3 times that in Hong Kong, China. The main reason is not the medical system, but the low vaccination rate of the elderly; Singapore is more than 90%, which is an item that cannot be ignored in the policy of coexistence with the virus. Chen emphasized that Taiwan has become the region with the highest per capita confirmed case in the world, and everyone should seriously think about how to protect themselves. (Lin Jingxian/editor)
