The number of new infections in Tokyo has finally exceeded 300...

 

Unfortunately, that was what we expected...

 

I hope it will not increase further tomorrow...

 

 

Well,, I will summarize

the breakdown of the number of new infections in Tokyo + α .

 

 

Out of [366] new infections in Tokyo

[74] people is in their 40s to 50s

  (about 20% of the total)

 

 [40] people is

Infection at home [34] people

Infection at office [14] people

Infection at a dinner with friends and acquaintances [12] people

 

Sumida Ward Metropolitan Tax Office 20s female employee [1] person

  Cumulative : 【22】 people

 pub name : "Venus" / The infection was eight male and female employees and one customer.

  →Three employees confirmed infection on the 16th due to fever etc.

   →Infection of 19 people including customers was revealed on the 20th

    *By July 20, 3 male patients in their 60s and 80s,

     2 female healthcare workers in their 50s were confirmed infected.

    *The route of infection is unknown,

     and it seems that there are dozens of concentrated contacts.

Number of seriously ill :  21 (+3)

Hotel medical treatment : 168 (+12)

 *( )= increse  from the day before

 

*Tokyo currently has 3 facilities for infected people

 (Capacity of 480 people)

*Plans to increase the number of accepted hotels or facilities by 3 within this month

 

 

 

Rich contacts [141] people

   (about 39% of the total)

Unknown infection route [225] people

   (about 61% of the total) 

 

 

Quarantine at the airport

  Arriving at Narita/Haneda/Chubu Airport,

    → Men and women in their 20s to 50s [15] people

    → Filipinos, Americans, Indians, Iranians, Tajikistans

    → All asymptomatic infected

 

 

 

(Although I posted it yesterday)

It seems that the number of quarantines at the airport is increasing and inspectors are screaming.

https://www.topics.or.jp/articles/-/393708

At Narita Airport, the number of inspections exceeded 1000 at the end of June, and the departure flight to Shanghai China was delayed...

The government is aiming to ease immigration restrictions, but it is still screaming at the last minute.

 

 

… In this situation, government shouldn't think about relaxing the immigration restrictions…

Don't you think so?

 

 

But,

企業の駐在員など 相互に入国認めることでタイと合意 茂木外相 | NHKニュース

As in this news, Japan and Thailand have agreed to allow mutual entry...

When we heard that the government accepted foreign entry, we want to say "Why?"

However, in reality, the number of new infections in Thailand these days is one digit (several) every day, and it seems that those are only those returning from abroad...!!

 

 

Rather, Japan has more new infections,

so we have to say "Thank you for mutual admission."

 

 

By the way, as a measure for long-term residents such as corporate employees,

it is necessary to carry out PCR test and wait at home for 14 days after entering the country.

 

If that's the case, it's even more secure.

 

 

(Although I also posted it yesterday)

According to the Yomiuri Shimbun's summary of the stage where the mass infection occurred in Shinjuku, infected people are at least 115 people in 11 prefectures.

新宿の劇場感染、11都府県に拡散…2次感染の疑いも - Yahoo!ニュース

The situation was about 130 square meters, with about 90 seats, which is about half of the total number of seats of 186, were prepared, and they were playing games in addition to singing and dancing.

 

 Furthermore, from here, the family and workplace of the infected person are infected, and it seems that 115 people are not included, so it became a really enormous outbreak. ..

 

 

Today, I will summarize some prefectures that have a high number of infected people, not just in the Tokyo area.

 

 

*** Saitama ***

New infections are [64] people

   *Updated the highest number of new infected persons... 

  →Welfare facility in the prefecture [1] person

     *a man in his 20s living in Saitama City

  →Mdical institution in Saitama City [1] person

     *a woman in her 40s living in Tokyo

  →Junior high school students and mothers [2] poeple

     *living in Saitama City

 

*I'm sorry, but information about infected people in Saitama prefecture often comes out the next day, so it doesn't come out very much on that day...

 

 

*** Kanagawa ***

   →Yokohama National University students [2] people

     *Cumulative total of 9 (including prizefighters)

 

 

*** Aichi ***

New infections are [97] people

   *Updated the highest number of new infected persons... 

    → Nagoya City [62] people

    → Aichi Prefectural Government jurisdiction [28] people

 

It is said that new coronas are being transmitted one after another among multiple restaurants and customers in Nagoya city.

A health official in the city said, "It is a situation of community-acquired infection," and pointed out that there is a risk of infection not only at specific stores, but anywhere.

In addition to karaoke bars, friends and acquaintances are often infected at multiple stores such as taverns.

(*NHK NEWS WEB)

 

 

 

In prefectures other than the above, many prefectures, including Shiga, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Hyogo and Kagoshima etc. have new infections of 10 or more.

 

 

First of all, Good news today...!

I posted on this blog yesterday,

The anti-inflammatory drug "dexamethasone" has been additionally certified as a therapeutic drug for COVID-19!

国内2例目の新型コロナ治療薬認定 - Yahoo!ニュース

It is published by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in the guide for corona treatment, and it can be used immediately without any examination or approval.

新型コロナ:抗炎症薬デキサメタゾン、国内2例目のコロナ治療薬に :日本経済新聞

I didn't find much information in these two articles, so I looked into it, but the article below is the easiest to understand.

デキサメタゾン、COVID-19重症例の死亡を減少:日経メディカル

As a result of Oxford University's examination, the mortality rate was remarkably reduced as compared with standard treatment.

41% → 27% (1/3 decrease) in patients who need ventilator

25% → 20% (1/5 reduction) in patients requiring oxygen inhalers

 

*It was not effective for mild patients who do not need a respiratory system.

 

Compared to "lemdecibir" that was certified in May, this time it seems to be a therapeutic drug that is effective for severely ill patients!

 

 

It is expected to save many lives worldwide as it is the first treatment shown to improve the survival rate of COVID-19 infections!

 

 


The remedy is coming out steadily.

 

However, the number of infected people should not increase just because of this.

 

 

I have summarized some of the comments and thoughts of the Tokyo metropolitan government and the government of Japan, as well as politicians, experts, and people from all over the world about this "explosion of infection in Tokyo," so please take a look.

 And today was the first consecutive holiday since the "Go To (Travel) Campaign" started.

 

 

What was it like today when it actually started?

Go Toトラベル 「4連休」初日 各地では… | NHKニュース

As you can see in this news, it seems that there are some places with few tourists, but most of the places seem to have more visitors.

It's complicated from the viewpoint of infection prevention,

but just listening to the voices of tourist agency or shopkeeper how long they were waiting for customers to come...

 


I don't think there is a problem as long as you prevent infection,

so it's a good idea to enjoy as much as possible!

 

 

By the way, Tokyo is...

https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20200723/k10012530301000.html?utm_int=news-new_contents_list-items_001

Data from NTT Docomo,

The number of people around Shinjuku station today

decreased by 51.1% compared to the same period last year

Around Shibuya Center Gai today

decreased by 39.3% compared to the same period last year

 

 

 

Yesterday, there were more puzzling news about the "Go To Campaign" than positive news.

 GoToの対象?宿側も分からず 政府の「トラベル」事業スタート、観光関係者は戸惑い - Yahoo!ニュース

It seems that the accommodations are confused by questions such as

 

"how to refund the travel fee" and

"whether or not the hotel is eligible" etc.

 

The Japan Tourism Agency has updated its website on the 20th,

but the details remain unknown

and the telephone number of the Japan Tourism Agency's contact information will not be connected in a flat state...

 

"Participation condition is to take infectious disease prevention measures at the accommodations as well, but it's unclear who will judge how"

 

 

In the first place, it seems that the registration procedure of the accommodation company participating in the business has not started yet, and

"We can not answer to the inquiring customer about whether it is possible to discount"

 

It seems that such a voice is rising.

 

Anyway, it seems that the accommodation facility is in trouble because there is no information.

 

Since it is a "Go To Campaign" that is also a relief measure for the tourism industry and local communities,

I would like to make full use of it in that sense...

 

 

Regarding to that,

Governer of Tokyo Koike said that

東京都知事「4連休中は高齢者中心に不要不急の外出自粛を」 | NHKニュース

"The four consecutive holidays starting on the 23rd call for self-restraint to avoid going out unnecessarily and urgently."

 

What everyone is saying is strange..

one of the side (government) said that let's go on a trip!

The other (Governor of Koike and Governor of Japan) should refrain from going out!

The direction they are each facing is too different. ..

 

 

And..,

there was news about "Go To Eat" related to it yesterday,

「Go Toイート」委託先の公募きょう開始 事業開始は慎重に判断 | NHKニュース

When making a reservation via the online reservation site when eating out,

it seems that the maximum point reward is 1000 yen per person.

Also, it seems that it will issue a meal ticket that can be used for each prefecture (a good value meal ticket that adds 25% of the purchase price), and it was news that the recruitment of contractors for that business has started.

The campaign itself will start in late August...

 

 

Good or bad, the economic measures are starting one after another.

 

 

I hope that the infection prevention measures will be taken well...

 

 

Next topic is very good news, 

 

acertainfox512.hatenablog.com

 

 
It is news that the development of a vaccine that fundamentally solves this situation of COVID-19 infection is progressing steadily!!!

 

 

The clinical trial of the "COVID-19 vaccine", which is being developed and clinically conducted by Oxford University, which I mentioned several times in this blog, is now in the final stage!

 

Vaccines will be supplied in September as soon as possible!

 

Not next year! ? This year! ?

Another month and a half! !! !!

 

 

Really wonder why this isn't more news!

 

I will paste it again! (Lol)

 

acertainfox512.hatenablog.com

 

is that insistent...?

Sorry... lol

 


But it's such shocking and happy news, so if you have time, please read it!

 

 

And here's a trial calculation of how many people in Japan are actually receiving medical treatment.

 

(Number of people infected nationwide) 28,963

+ (Number of hospital discharges )  1,005

+ (Number of hospital discharges ) 21,694

= 6,264 people ← being treated 

 

(If it is exactly as announced)

6000 people came into view in no time...

I said yesterday, but

The number of people has exceeded 6000 in no time...

 


Regarding the number of new infections [366] in Tokyo today, Minister of Economic Rehabilitation Nishimura said that he is "increasing a sense of crisis."

 

And he said
"Since we will balance infection prevention and socio-economic activities, we naturally come into contact with people, but we would like individuals to take appropriate measures before going out. If you can't do that, I want you to refrain from going out. "

 

So, to guess from this statement,

He doesn't intend to take any measures yet.

 

This is the hardest part of all.
No matter how you think, you must already take measures now.

 

 

However, I think we can protect ourselves and our important person only by preventing infections that are familiar to us, so let's do our best from a small place. 

 

 

 

Please be very careful when you go out!
