When our country was relaxing, the United States restarted its free nucleic acid testing program. What's going on? Is it a US conspiracy theory against China? Taking advantage of China's liberalization, China cannot get free antigen , but the United States distributes new G test reagents for free. So now many experts have come out and said that it must be an American conspiracy theory, and many people say that the United States has long been at peace, hasn't it? Why is it suddenly making waves again this time? Today we will analyze whether the United States is a conspiracy theory this time.
On December 15th local time in the United States, the United States announced the restart of COVID-19 testing and distributed free COVID-19 testing kits to citizens, and each family could receive 4 testing kits. In addition to test kits, the United States has also expanded its free COVID-19 testing stations on a large scale. It currently plans to set up 15,000 free testing stations across the country. In fact, behind this is a data change that has occurred in the United States in the past few weeks. In the past few weeks, the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States has increased by 45% every week, and the number of deaths has also increased by 60% every week.
So why did the new coronavirus suddenly come back again? Doesn’t it mean that its overall recovery rate is very low? In fact, what the United States is facing this time is not the proliferation of the Omicron strain , but the rise of a new strain, the emergence of a new mutant strain "COVID-19 Cerberus". Moreover, "COVID-19 Cerberus" is more toxic than and Omicron , and it is rapidly encroaching on the territory of previous Omicron. Among the new cases discovered in the United States, the proportion of "COVID-19 Cerberus" has reached as high as about 40%. So it can be seen that the core reason why many people who have had COVID-19 relapse is the emergence of new strains of the virus, and at this time we are facing the arrival of winter.
The United States will face the superposition of three major risks this winter. What are these three major risks? One is a mutated strain of the new coronavirus, another is traditional influenza, and the third is respiratory syncytial virus. Under the attack of these three risks, the U.S. government has to become worried, so as we said at the beginning, the United States will launch a new wave of free testing reagents.
Among our a shares , the antigens of the big bull stocks Jiu'an Medical have already increased 16 times . It can be seen from the announcement that in late November this year, Jiu'an Medical just won a US$1.37 billion purchase order from the United States, and the price of the home-use antigen purchased by the US government was US$2.65, which is equivalent to RMB 18.6. In China, you have to know that the price of our antigens is only 3 to 5 yuan, so the price of selling antigens in China is very low, and companies cannot make much money, but selling them to the United States is a hugely profitable industry. So from this you can imagine one of the reasons why we can’t even buy antigens in China, let alone distribute them for free.
Therefore, we can see that the United States is not lying down, but is actively responding. Although they released it earlier, they still have more experience than us, except for the free distribution of antigens and free testing station services. Another free thing is that if the United States is in a state of public health emergency, you can go to the hospital to prescribe Pfizer new coronavirus specific medicine for free. The current state of emergency has been extended to January 11 next year, so medication in the United States is also free.
Against this background, The US CDC announced the latest data. The vaccination rate of the new G-lengthening shot in the United States is only 14.1%. Therefore, with such a low vaccination rate, the United States will inevitably require further "mask mandates." So all control has to come back, but control is control, but people are still allowed to come and go freely. It is nothing more than the government providing some free testing programs, including some medication guidelines, and of course providing many free drugs for treatment. The rest depends on the self-management of the people. So in the end, from this point of view, the current policies adopted by the United States are only policies that are beneficial to it, and are not some conspiracy theory against China.More importantly, the high incidence of various viruses and viruses in winter has aroused the alarm of the US government, so some preparations have been made to deal with this triple disease attack.
As for us in China, our epidemic situation is relaxed, and the country's doors are also opened one after another. In the future, we will face greater challenges, especially the new "new coronavirus hellhound" virus that will enter China. Therefore, we hope that the country will do enough to prepare COVID-19 testing reagents, including drugs and medical resources. After the Chinese people experienced the impact of the first wave of the epidemic, they still had to wear masks when going out. In the next step, we will eventually face the impact of the "coronavirus hellhound". I hope you all take good care of your health and take good care of your families.
