On the issue of epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19, some places have made great efforts in epidemic prevention and control, and at the same time, the safety of all people has been further guaranteed in this way. There is no problem in itself, because the cost of nucleic acid detection is further reduced, and hospitals and related institutions in some places will also contribute corresponding manpower and material resources, so this way can further prevent the occurrence of COVID-19 epidemic.
Normalized nucleic acid detection will be carried out in Henan.
In order to prevent and control the epidemic in COVID-19, more than 99 million people will receive routine nucleic acid testing, which will be regarded as a normal way to prevent and control the epidemic. After that, residents in Henan will have a nucleic acid test at least every two days, and all the expenses will be borne by the corresponding social security fund and hospital, and residents do not need to bear any expenses.
The cost of nucleic acid testing in Henan can reach 6 billion yuan per month.
If calculated according to the conventional pricing method of nucleic acid detection, because the population of Henan has reached more than 99 million, the monthly cost of nucleic acid detection for all staff can reach 6 billion yuan. In the actual work process, because not all the expenses are borne by the medical insurance fund, some hospitals and individuals will also bear the corresponding expenses, so the actual cost of nucleic acid testing will be reduced. Nevertheless, if Henan maintains this epidemic prevention and control method by the end of the year, the cost of nucleic acid testing in Henan will reach more than 30 billion yuan.
What is my personal opinion?
Personally, although there are some cost problems in nucleic acid testing itself, if COVID-19 epidemic can be effectively prevented and controlled in this way, the economic losses caused by nucleic acid testing and epidemic are not comparable at all. Because the COVID-19 epidemic may lead to production paralysis in many places, if the COVID-19 epidemic can be prevented in advance, I personally support the normalized nucleic acid detection method.
