The recent surge in the number of confirmed diagnoses in Taiwan has caused a huge traffic jam in medical care. Shuangbei has also recently focused on the issue of whether to treat positive test positive as a confirmed patient. In this regard, Taipei Mayor Ko Wenzhe reiterated today (14) that he was saying that quick screening positives replace PCR positives, and “don’t engage in cognitive warfare every day.”
In order to understand the current situation of the front-line epidemic prevention work, Ke Wenzhe went to the parent-child epidemic prevention emergency clinic in Heping Maternity and Children’s Hospital this followingnoon (14th). Or if the PCR positive person is administered, is it in line with expectations?
In this regard, “I want to be very sincere regarding this matter. At this critical moment, we are for the good of Taiwan.” Ke Wenzhe said that he saw that the media wrote regarding the rapid screening of positive drugs, but he did not say that, medical science Experts also understand what he means. If there are positive symptoms in the rapid screening test, and the indications are met, contraindications are excluded, and drug interactions are noted, the drug will be administered.
Ke Wenzhe pointed out that there are not many cases due to the usual small amount, so there is no problem with PCR coming out soon, but now he never believes that the number of confirmed cases today will be less than yesterday, which violates scientific common sense. The reason is that the amount of PCR can be stuck, resulting in the problem of black numbers.
Ke Wenzhe emphasized that if the drug is delayed, more people will need to be hospitalized, and the consequences will be more serious. He also reiterated that he meant quick screening positives to replace PCR positives, “Don’t engage in cognitive warfare every day, (he) hates it the most.”
As for Chen Shizhong’s opinion that the rapid screening positive diagnosis is mainly aimed at high-risk groups, and the accuracy is high. Ke Wenzhe responded that he knew all of this, “We have all read (public health statistics) and we all know”, and he was not aimless.
