To this, Xue Ruiyuan responded, "I really doubt how Chairman Jiang got his degree in law?" Administrative agencies must be convinced of the constitutionality of administrative actions in accordance with the law. This is the ABC of administrative law. Anyone who studies law should I know, so "I really don't know what to say about him".

Wang Bisheng, the commander of the Central Epidemic Command Center, explained yesterday that the isolation regulations for confirmed cases have never changed. It is not because they are diagnosed that they cannot vote, but because they are diagnosed and cannot go out, they cannot vote.

He also mentioned that the scale of the voting and the big exam are very different, and it cannot be handled in the same way. Some people call for learning from South Korea, but South Korea has apologized for its failure experience, so there is no way to make exceptions.

In addition, there are media reports that Taiwan’s average confirmed fatality rate in the past two weeks ranks third in the world. Xue Ruiyuan explained that the number of confirmed cases has dropped rapidly in the past few weeks. The denominator of the so-called “confirmed fatality rate” is the number of confirmed cases. The number of deaths above is a lagging indicator, which reflects the state of possible death a few weeks ago under the epidemic, which will result in a high fatality rate. If it is explained by short-term figures, it is an operation of the election to vilify the performance of epidemic prevention.
