The new crown pneumonia epidemic is about to enter its third year, and the command center has been open for two years. Experts said that according to the evolution of the Omicron variant, most people infected with the epidemic are mildly ill. If the epidemic is as slow as it is now after the Spring Festival, and it has become flu-like, It may be a good time to discuss the exit of the command center, hoping to return to normal epidemic prevention.
Experts believe that the command center has a high level of hard work, but communication with various ministries and local governments needs to be strengthened in vaccine procurement. “After reviewing Taiwan’s epidemic prevention for two years, vaccine procurement is the biggest problem.” Su Yiren, the former CDA, believes that in March and April 2020, the domestic epidemic situation was stable. At that time, high-level officials did not believe that vaccines were necessary. The vaccine has side effects, isn’t it bad?” He was surprised when he heard this sentence. As a result, a local epidemic broke out in May 2021. There was no vaccine to fight in Taiwan. The government was in a hurry. Fortunately, Japan and the United States successively donated vaccines.
Secondly, in the early stage of the epidemic, the National Taiwan University Public Health College cooperated with the Changhua County Government to carry out a 10,000-person serum antibody screening, but it failed the human clinical trial committee review in the first time, and the command center had to impose a fine. Su Yiren said, “This incident has caused the local government to be reluctant to do things actively, and the academic community has also caused a chilling effect.”
Wang Renxian, chairman of the National Defense Epidemiology Society of China, said that the command center did not strengthen border screening and insufficient vaccine preparations during the initial stage of epidemic prevention, resulting in repeated breaches in domestic epidemic prevention. If border screening was strict at that time, such as the Spring Festival epidemic prevention project, it was required that all immigrants must be vaccinated. With a complete vaccine, there may not be a breach.
Su Yiren said that when the coverage rate of the second dose of vaccine reaches 80%, high-risk groups can also get the third dose of vaccine, and the treatment drugs are properly prepared. At this time, the epidemic has become flu, and the command center can return to the second level and be managed by the disease. The department is responsible for handling, border control can be ended, and a new life of epidemic prevention with wearing masks and frequent hand washing can be maintained. He said, “In the next two months, 80% coverage of the second dose is the most important task.”
“After the Spring Festival next year, the epidemic is still easing as it is now. The command center can exit and return to general epidemic prevention,” said Yang Zhiliang, the former director of health. It’s the judge.” He believes that according to the evolution of the new crown virus, people infected with the disease are all mildly ill, and the command center should be relaxed. Although border control, masks, and hand-washing are still required, they should not continue to be strictly guarded. This is harmful to the economy. At the same time, children, elder abuse, and unemployment are also emerging in an endless stream, which is far more harmful than the epidemic.
Wang Renxian also said that the command center’s epidemic prevention work has been heavy in the past two years. In the new year, the central and local governments must fully decentralize powers. Quarantine measures such as border control are the central authority, but the local epidemic prevention management is the responsibility of the locals, so that everyone can breathe a breath. ,Rest awhile.
The epidemic situation in Taiwan is different from other countries. Any epidemic prevention policy should observe the international trend, epidemic prevention policy and vaccine supply situation at that time. Professor Chen Xiuxi of the National Taiwan University School of Public Health said that Taiwan’s vaccine is difficult to obtain, and it took a lot of time to negotiate. This is Taiwan’s long-standing weakness. The government should strengthen cooperation with non-governmental organizations. Perhaps the vaccine can be obtained more smoothly.
