New Taipei City Council’s general questioning today, DPP New Taipei City Councilor He Bowen asked New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi to say “bad luck, hard work” to the citizens who have been infected for the past two years. He emphasized that “it’s not necessarily your fault.” Hope Hou Can express concern; but Hou Youyi said that the root cause is from masks, vaccines to general screening at entry. If you listened to him last year and blocked it from overseas, there is no such thing inside. Quick screening is equivalent to delaying the diagnosis for 3 weeks, and the people are suffering. After procrastinating for so long, 40% of them become moderate or severe, and wait until a group of people are infected. Who should be responsible for this? “Central!”
He Bowen pointed out that from the outbreak of the Wanhua epidemic last year to Zhonghe, Yonghe and other places, the epidemic situation in New Taipei was the most serious. This year, the number of confirmed cases in New Taipei is the largest. No matter the central government or the local government, the front line is very hard. Facing New Taipei’s help, I hope Hou Youyi can convey more positive energy and sincerely thank Chen Shizhong, the commander of epidemic prevention.
Hou Youyi said that what people complained most regarding was why they were judged to be PCR positive, and no one came to care regarding the notification. If the overseas block was blocked, there would be no domestic infection. Before things started to happen, they advised the central government to enter the country for two general screenings. If you do it, you won’t have a bunch of people behind you at the end.
Hou Youyi said that if “listen to my words last year” and were blocked from overseas, there would be no such thing inside. Later, following entering the general screening, “Did you do it? Did you do it? Yes!”
He Bowen bluntly said that everything that the mayor inherited from former President Ma Ying-jeou was “they’s fault.”
Hou Youyi emphasized that if the foreign countries are blocked from entering, there will be no such thing as now, including not enough vaccines and not enough masks. He also listened to the advice of experts in New Taipei City.
