At present, more and more countries and regions are beginning to lift the "mask order", relax or give up prevention and control measures, and choose to "lie down". Taiwan is also one of them.

Unconsciously, the new coronavirus has been raging around the world for nearly three years. Previously, experts predicted that with the popularization of new crown vaccine , the research and development of new crown drugs, and the continuous mutation of the new crown virus, humans will eventually coexist with new crown . At present, more and more countries and regions are beginning to lift the "mask order", relax or give up prevention and control measures, and choose to "lie down". Taiwan is also one of them.

From a series of recent opening-in measures on the island and discussing when to lift the "mask order" and other actions, it is not difficult to see that the authorities have taken the weight and prepared to coexist with the new crown. But judging from the current epidemic situation, if the Taiwan authorities who want to coexist with the new coronavirus can properly solve the following three problems, perhaps they can really coexist with the new coronavirus.

First, the issue of "long-term COVID-19" cannot be ignored

According to Global Network , citing media reports on the island, Zhan Changquan , a special professor at the Department of Public Health of National Taiwan University, said that the number of potential "long-term COVID-19" patients in Taiwan has exceeded 1.5 million, which will not only have a huge impact on the lives and health of Taiwanese people, but will also derive financial and human burdens such as treatment and care.

Whether patients with new coronavirus pneumonia will suffer from sequelae of COVID-19 will have COVID-19 sequelae after recovery is the focus of debate among many people, but more and more research and facts are in front of them. Although not all confirmed cases will suffer from the trouble of "flying COVID-19" after recovery, we can see from the research data of some countries and regions that the proportion is not low, and the more confirmed cases and regions, the more difficult the problem of "flying COVID-19".

(“Grosy tongue” has occurred after the recovery from the new crown)

Take the United States, which has the largest number of confirmed cases as an example. The U.S. government released a survey data in June this year. About 40% of American adults have been infected with the new crown virus, and about 20% of these infected people are still suffering from the "long-term COVID-19", of which nearly 1 million people have lost their jobs due to some symptoms and even lost their insurance.

In addition, according to data released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on October 5, about 24 million Americans currently suffer from "the new crown", of which more than 80% of people have affected their normal lives due to various symptoms.

What exactly is "long-term COVID-19"? What other symptoms will occur? According to the definition of , "long new crown" refers to some diseases that a confirmed person may face after recovery, which usually occurs after three months and lasts for more than 2 months.

Foreign studies have been conducted on the COVID-19 pandemic, and the most common symptoms include acute myocardial infarction, cardiovascular disease, renal failure, neurological diseases, sleep disorders, , muscle diseases, respiratory diseases, etc., such as insomnia, depression, memory loss, dyspnea, hair loss, , brain atrophy, etc. The symptoms are mild and severe, and the duration varies.

Secondly, repeated infection of the new coronavirus cannot be ignored

In the hearts of the Taiwan authorities, the people who are injecting the new crown vaccine have antibodies in their bodies and infected people have antibodies in their bodies, so they can coexist with the new crown. But don’t forget that the new coronavirus has the possibility of repeated infection. In the United States where the epidemic is severe, some people can even be infected five or six times.

According to the Global Network, more and more Americans have experienced repeated infections, and those who are re-infected with the new coronavirus will still face the problem of "long-term COVID-19". For some infected people, how to avoid re-infection has become an important issue.

In addition, there are studies that show that every infection can damage the immune system. When is infected with or repeatedly, the so-called "coexistence with the new coronavirus" does not make much sense unless the new coronavirus mutates to no longer have sequelae or multiple infections.

Third, the problem of the mortality rate of the new coronavirus cannot be ignored

Indeed, after more than two years of mutation, the new coronavirus has long been seriously fatal. It has increased infectiousness but the mortality rate has decreased. This is also the reason why many people believe that the new coronavirus can be equivalent to flu . But COVID-19 is not the same as influenza, and the mortality rate is higher than influenza.

Zhan Changquan, a distinguished professor at the Department of Public Health at Taiwan University, predicts that the new coronavirus will become the "fifth leading cause of death" in Taiwan this year, and the so-called epidemic prevention measures of the Taiwan authorities cannot achieve "coexistence with the new coronavirus." As WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, "There is still a long way to go to fight the epidemic." Faced with the many confirmed cases and dead people, the Taiwan authorities not only do not reflect, but focus on the election, putting the Taiwanese people in dire straits.

Even if humans can really "coexist with the new coronavirus" in the future, it is by no means relaxing epidemic prevention policies and allowing every citizen to get the new coronavirus. It is bound to find a balance. Escape is not the solution, and choosing to "lie down" will also cost a serious price.
