On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, when we were thankful that there was no second wave of infection peaks, another surprising thing happened. Is it going to go back to before full liberalization?
According to news media reports, "Dongxiang Release" WeChat public account , the Dongxiang District New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Emergency Headquarters Office in Fuzhou City issued a notice, in accordance with the unified deployment of the district epidemic prevention and control headquarters, it decided to carry out free nucleic acid testing throughout the district on January 25th and 26th (the fourth and fifth day of the first lunar month).
The reason for Dongxiang District of Fuzhou City is that there are more people returning home during the Spring Festival, so as to more accurately manage the dynamic management of key groups, meet the needs of the general public for nucleic acid testing, and effectively protect the physical and mental health of citizens and friends, so as to provide more accurate data support for the next step of epidemic prevention and control decisions.
You must know that according to the 7th census data in 2020, the permanent population of Dongxiang District, Fuzhou City is 380,000. This is not a small number. Is it necessary to conduct nucleic acid tests on all 380,000 people within 2 days? It was unbelievable when I first saw this news. It would have been understandable if this happened last year.
Because on January 8, our country implemented the "Category B B Pipeline" for new coronavirus infection , and clarified the adjustment of population testing strategies in terms of nucleic acid testing. Community residents are "willing to be tested as needed" and will no longer carry out nucleic acid screening for all employees.
Now that the country has clarified "Category B and B", why does Dongxiang District, Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province still conduct nucleic acid testing for all employees? It can be viewed from three points.
The first signal seems to be unreasonable if the reason is that there are more people returning home. This is because during the Spring Festival this year, there are many people returning home in a wide range of areas. This is the case across the country. Fuzhou Dongxiang District is not a special case. So why have other districts and counties not proposed nucleic acid testing for all employees? It just happened to be Dongxiang District, Fuzhou City?
The second signal does not seem to make sense if it is to meet the general public’s demand for nucleic acid testing. Judging from the situation around me, during the Spring Festival this year, I went to two counties to celebrate the New Year, but I have not heard that many citizens actively and urgently want nucleic acid testing. And more people talk about being positive and can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.
Assuming that there are citizens in Dongxiang District, Fuzhou City who are in urgent need of nucleic acid testing, it cannot be the general public or the majority of citizens. A small number of citizens can go to the hospital for nucleic acid testing by themselves.
The third signal is that the sampling method for nucleic acid testing issued by Dongxiang District of Fuzhou City is actually a single person and a single tube. This surprised me very much. I remember that when I conducted nucleic acid testing for all employees in an economically developed big city last year, ten people were used in mixed tube testing, while Dongxiang District of Fuzhou City used a single person and a single tube.
Anyone who has gone to a hospital to have a nucleic acid test knows that the price of a single test for one person is much higher than a mixed test for ten people. However, Dongxiang District of Fuzhou City uses free single-person, single-tube nucleic acid tests for all employees. The fiscal revenue of Dongxiang District in Fuzhou City must be very high.
You must know that the cost of free nucleic acid testing for all employees is borne by local governments. So I checked the fiscal revenue of Dongxiang District, Fuzhou City. Taking 2021 as an example, Dongxiang District total fiscal revenue is 3.307 billion yuan, general public budget revenue is 1.801 billion yuan, Frankly speaking, this data is not high, but it is a free single-person, single-tube nucleic acid test for all employees.
In summary, now that the country has experienced the peak of infection and the peak of severe illness, what is the significance of Dongxiang District in Fuzhou City launching free nucleic acid testing for all employees? If
is detected as positive , what measures will be taken? Is it going to be blocked? Want silence? Should we still determine whether ’s close contacts are ? Is it self-isolation or centralized self-pay isolation? Otherwise, what is the meaning of all nucleic acids? You must know that the purpose of using nucleic acid testing for all employees in the past was to find out the positive results and isolate them. The purpose was very clear.
In the "Category B and B Pipe" requirements, the country has clarified that isolation measures will no longer be implemented for people infected with the new coronavirus, and close contacts will no longer be determined; high and low risk areas will no longer be delineated.
Since the country has made it so clear, why does Dongxiang District of Fuzhou City still need to reverse course and conduct nucleic acid testing of all employees? When I saw this news, when I went to the "Dongxiang Release" WeChat official account, I could no longer see the news, and it had most likely been deleted.
Under the general trend of comprehensive liberalization in our country, Dongxiang District of Fuzhou City has taken the lead in conducting nucleic acid testing for all employees. If this goes well, other districts and counties will naturally follow suit. This is a very dangerous signal, and it is openly contradicting the "Category B and Pipeline B" proposed by the country.
Logically speaking, the economic development of many cities has been affected by the epidemic three years ago, and many local governments are in a difficult financial situation. Since it is difficult, they must vigorously improve the economy. However, Dongxiang District of Fuzhou City has proposed free single-person, single-tube nucleic acid testing for all employees. This is not an inappropriate issue, but a surprise.
During the Spring Festival, major cities are increasing their publicity efforts. This is also the time when tourism and consumption are recovering, but Dongxiang District of Fuzhou City has launched nucleic acid testing for all employees. What do people in other areas think? Do other people still dare to come to Dongxiang District for tourism and consumption? Including Fuzhou City will be affected.
Finally, we can look at it from three perspectives.
From the perspective of the general public, How many people still want to get nucleic acid testing? Most people have already passed the test, so does it make sense to go for a nucleic acid test? What if the test is positive? It has been relaxed since then, and during the Spring Festival, when people visit relatives and have dinner together very frequently, the number of people wearing masks in many districts and counties has been relatively reduced, so accounting and testing is no longer meaningful.
From the perspective of medical staff, after three years of epidemic, medical staff were exhausted and finally let go. They survived the peak of infection and severe illness across the country. At this time, it is meaningless to conduct nucleic acid tests for all employees, or single-person testing. Have you considered the work intensity and feelings of medical staff?
From the perspective of urban development, since the country has no other document requirements, it must strictly abide by the "Category B B Pipe" and conduct nucleic acid testing for all employees, which is a waste of manpower and material resources. Isn't it good to use the money for free nucleic acid testing for all employees to build infrastructure and boost the economy?
To sum up, many people felt chills down their backs when they saw this news. Now that it is fully relaxed, no one wants to go through the days of full nucleic acid testing or the days of lockdown.
Some people thought it was last year's news, but it was indeed today's news . The sampling time in the news was January 25th and 26th. However, the "Dongxiang Release" WeChat official account deleted this information shortly after it was released. Maybe it caused too much public opinion in the society.
I don’t know what you think? Welcome to discuss!
