Taipei City Government spokesman Chen Zhihan was dissatisfied with veteran media personality Zhou Yukou and his media “Fang Yan”, and questioned why Taipei Mayor Ko Wenzhe did not take antiviral drugs after his diagnosis. Ke Wenzhe was asked about this today (24th), and he emphasized that he would never deliberately go to a black house out of context, even if PCR positive requires the prescription antiviral drug Paxlovid, he must be over 65 years old, and he must have diabetes, heart disease, etc. I am not yet 65 years old”, “I am a very obedient person and follow the SOP completely”.
The Taipei City Government held a press conference on the epidemic in the afternoon. There were media questions. Zhou Yukou frequently questioned Ke Wenzhe’s diagnosis but did not take antiviral drugs. What do you think? Ke sighed and said, this is all a war of words. I have reflected on it myself, and sometimes I will curse people if it is not pleasing to the eye, “But I will never know clearly that people don’t mean that, and deliberately go to a black house or take a black house out of context.”
Ke Wenzhe emphasized that he said that a positive test for quick screening is the same as a positive PCR test, but in the country, medicine also has cost-effectiveness considerations, and one dose of medicine costs 20,000 yuan. , Eat those with a higher chance of death and severe illness.
Ke Wenzhe said that even if he is PCR positive, he needs to take Paxlovid antiviral drugs, he must be over 65 years old, and he must have diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, etc. “The problem is that I am not yet 65 years old! Even if I do PCR Yang, also did not meet the standard of taking antiviral drugs.” “I am a very obedient person and follow the SOP completely, so I think Zhou Yukou does not need to deliberately be a black family, there is no need.”
