[Reporters Lin Huiqin and Qiu Zhirou/Report from Taipei] The 9-in-1 election will take place on Saturday, and the outside world is worried that there will be a phenomenon of non-screening due to the fact that confirmed patients cannot go out to vote, which may cause greater risks to the community.

80,000 cases, an increase of 10 is expected this week.

From 50,000 to 110,000 cases, the average daily rate falls below one.

Fifty thousand cases to one.

Scholar: Omicron death rate may be lower than flu by the end of the year

Chen Xiuxi, a professor at the National Taiwan University School of Public Health, estimated that the death rate of Omicron would drop to 0 per 100,000 by the end of December.

Five or less, even lower than the mortality rate of influenza, has reached the trend of "influenzaization".

Wang Bisheng responded, "I agree with him." The death rate will decrease by the end of December, and the current trend is obvious, towards milder symptoms.

However, it is difficult to define influenzaization. He personally hopes to achieve influenzaization as soon as possible, so that the epidemic prevention can be loosened as soon as possible, and return to a more normal life.

Wang Bisheng further illustrated the weekly changes in the epidemic with a graph. This year, there was a five-week plateau period starting from the 37th week, and then it began to decline. Death is a lagging indicator, which will lag behind the diagnosis by two to four weeks.

However, from the death trend, we can also see that the plateau period has passed and the death rate is declining. It is emphasized that the death rate will definitely follow the diagnosis, but it is relatively slow. Now the trend is the same, and there is no black number related situation.

As for the mainstream strain of the next wave of the epidemic, will it become clearer next week?

Wang Bisheng pointed out that case sampling and virus sequencing are continuing, and there are reports every week. Now it is still mainly BA.5. Will it subside next week?

Did other virus strains come up?

data can be presented.

On the other hand, former legislator Shen Fuxiong broke the news on a political commentary program that he met Li Jinyong, chairman of the Central Election Committee, at a soymilk store a few days ago. When asked why the confirmed people were not allowed to vote, Li responded, "They won't let people go."

However, "they" were interpreted as the command center. The Central Election Committee issued a statement yesterday to deny it, clarifying that Li Jinyong only greeted Shen that day, and did not talk about epidemic prevention.

Wang Bisheng said that he has no comment on this matter, but he also reminded everyone, "Be careful when talking to certain people. Sometimes you treat him as a friend, and he uses his words to talk about political programs. This is not very kind."
