Influence of epidemic situation in Shaanxi Province on the price of medical equipment

In the face of the sudden epidemic situation in COVID-19, the state took comprehensive measures to prevent and control the epidemic situation in time, and made a wise decision to treat first and then resettle, which played a decisive role in the subsequent epidemic prevention and control. However, in the whole epidemic prevention and control stage, the medical resources for the treatment of confirmed cases and suspected cases are unpredictable, especially the rescue of severe and critically ill patients, which has become a common phenomenon, ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 to 50,000 to 60,000 every day. This alone shows that the economic burden borne by the country in this epidemic is no longer available.

? At present, the cost of treating critically ill patients is relatively high, not to mention the high equipment cost of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. As long as the equipment runs, it will cost tens of thousands of yuan every day, and many treatment measures, including intubation, are usually staggering. When these high-priced treatment programs continue to run regardless of the cost in order to save the patients diagnosed in COVID-19, it shows that the country has defined the general policy of epidemic prevention, so the prevention and control of the whole epidemic situation may make the country bear hundreds of billions or even trillions of economic burdens.

In addition, the suspected patients and mild patients after diagnosis are not as expensive as the rescue of severe patients, but the base of this group of people is very large. Even according to the standard of several hundred yuan per person per day, the cost of treating hundreds of thousands of people per day is expensive, and each patient needs about seven days of treatment on average. After synthesizing various data, it will be found that the calculation of this number can not be completed simply by addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Through the comparative analysis of these basic data, it is not difficult to find that the epidemic expenses borne by the state this time cannot be calculated with accurate figures. Moreover, in the months of epidemic prevention and control, production activities all over the country were almost at a standstill, and the huge economic benefits of the Spring Festival Golden Week were gone. Judging from the scale of losses in all aspects, the trillions of losses may be conservative estimates, and a clear conclusion can only be drawn after the epidemic is over and a comprehensive settlement is made.
