[NTD, Beijing time, March 22, 2022]The CCP continues to insist on the so-called “zero epidemic prevention”, but the latest guidelines of the National Health Commission have changed the “full staff” test to “regional”. Full-staff testing is accused of creating cluster infections. Hong Kong media also pointed out that the CCP government’s finances have been difficult to support.
On March 22, the Medical Administration and Hospital Administration of the National Health Commission of the Communist Party of China announced the revised “Guidelines for the Implementation of New Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Testing Organizations for All Staff (Second Edition)” and “Guidelines for the Implementation of Regional Novel Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Testing Organizations (Third Edition)”. )”.
The key points of the revision include changing the original nucleic acid test of “all staff” to “area”, and the size of the area to be tested is determined according to the needs of epidemic prevention and control.
The Medical Administration and Hospital Administration explained that the new version emphasizes “accurately delimiting the detection range”, which is to implement Xi Jinping’s “improving the level of scientific and precise prevention and control”.
The CCP implements “zero-level” epidemic prevention, and cities large and small frequently conduct testing of all employees, and even implement multiple rounds in a short period of time. Because the time required to complete the test is very hasty, the test site is often crowded with people and the scene is chaotic. Public opinion has generally accused this of artificially creating a cluster of infections. There have been reports of cluster infections at nucleic acid testing sites in the Chinese media.
However, the revised version of the “epidemic prevention guidelines” requires reducing the scope of nucleic acid testing. The reason seems not to be concerned with people’s health, but economic factors.
The Medical Administration and Hospital Administration claimed that nucleic acid testing must be “targeted”, and “flooding” or “one size fits all” should not be implemented, and “precious nucleic acid testing resources” should be effectively utilized.
Due to the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of the CCP virus (Covid-19), outbreaks have occurred in at least 28 provinces and municipalities in China, and many cities have tested all employees at the same time, which has greatly increased the demand for testing reagents.
In addition, Hong Kong’s “South China Morning Post” reported on March 19 that the Beijing authorities insisted on measures such as strict closure of the city, full testing and mandatory isolation, and related expenditures continued to increase. Among them, measures such as nucleic acid testing for all staff cost a lot of money. Many local governments are facing financial pressure, and poverty-stricken areas are basically powerless.
The report took Suzhou City as an example. The city reported last month that since February 13, in less than a month, 120 million yuan had been spent on anti-epidemic efforts, most of which were used to add protective equipment, nucleic acid testing and medical care, etc.
Public opinion accuses that the so-called “epidemic prevention” measures such as nucleic acid testing of all staff and compulsory vaccination, the suffering is the people, and the fat is some medical institutions and the powerful people behind them. The previously leaked recording of the conversation of Harvard scholar Huang Wansheng revealed that the CCP’s high-level officials involved in nucleic acid reagents and vaccines.
Although the new version of the CCP’s “epidemic prevention guidelines” reduces the scope of nucleic acid testing, it also clarifies the time limit for completing the testing, claiming that megacities with a permanent population of more than 10 million in urban areas should complete nucleic acid testing in the delineated areas within 24 hours, and when necessary You can apply for national support to improve the ability of “early detection” of the epidemic.
This shows that the “dynamic zero” policy of the authorities’ so-called “zero tolerance” remains unchanged.
Radio Free Asia interviewed a number of medical experts and reviewed relevant data, and found that the CCP’s continued insistence on “dynamic clearing” is due to the severe shortage of medical resources, making it difficult to bear the huge burden of a pandemic.
The report quoted the analysis of former Harvard School of Public Health professor Li Dunhou, who pointed out that although the toxicity of the virus has been greatly reduced, even if the proportion of severely ill patients is small, if the number of infected people is large, China’s medical equipment is still insufficient. Mass infections can paralyze the healthcare system.
The report said that the medical system in Shanghai and other places has almost collapsed, and some hospitals have emptied all other patients to treat patients with the epidemic. disease patients.
