Since the number of new infections in Tokyo is Friday today,

I thought it would be more than [366] people (yesterday), but it has dropped by almost 100.

 

To be honest, I was delighted the moment the news about the number of infected people in Tokyo came out!

 

…But if I think carefully, today is a holiday and consecutive holidays

 

And since there are too many 260 people, I just hope that tomorrow will have more...

 

 

 

Well,, I will summarize

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

 

 

Out of [260] new infections in Tokyo

 

・Today's newly infected people are men and women in their under10 to 90s

 

[186 people is in their 20s to 30s

  (about 71% of the total)

 

[55] people is in their 40s to 50s

  (about 21% of the total)

 

 [36] people is

  in 『the entertainment district at night』

     →Shinjuku area [24] people


Infection at home [25] people

Infection at office [13] people

Infection at a dinner with friends and acquaintances [10] people

 

Nurse at Tokyo Metropolitan Hospital [1] person

    *Female nurse in her 20s

    *In Kumamoto City, where she was going home

    *Homecoming to check the status of my parents' house in Kumamoto"

 

Fuchu City Metropolitan Children's Medical Center [4] person

    *Three female nurses in their 20s and 30s in the intensive care unit for children

    *One female doctor in her 30s

    *1 person confirmed infection

     → Rich contact patient / staff inspection result = total 4 people

    *15 doctors and nurses with rich contacts are waiting at home

    *Acceptance of new patients has been suspended since 24th

 

<Cluster information> 

 

①Massive outbreak occurred at two Philippine pubs in Adachi-ku, Tokyo,

  Cumulative : 【22】 people

 pub name : "SOCIALISTA" / The infection is 13 of male and female employees

 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

 

②Edogawa-ku "Koiwa Enomoto Clinic(Rehabilitation facility)

  →A male patient in his 80s had a fever on 15th July → confirmed infection on 17th

    *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.

 

 

***  Information on poeple under medical treatment in Tokyo  ***

Number of hospitalized : 1040 (+76)

Number of seriously ill :  16 (-5)

Home medical treatment : 389 (-3)

Hotel medical treatment : 165 (-3)

Adjusting for "hospitalization or hotel or home treatment" : 845 (+128)

 *( )= 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 [104] people

Unknown infection route [156] people

 

 

Quarantine at the airport

  Arriving at Narita/Haneda Airport,

    → Men and women in their 30s and 60s, such as the Philippines [5] people

    → All asymptomatic infected

 

 

As usual, quarantine at the airport has been found positive every day… The accuracy of the PCR test is 60 to 70%, and I'm worried that the infected person may not pass the test.

 

 

(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.

 

 


The same applies to quarantine at airports, but I feel strongly that it is necessary to take precautions against infections from a little thing.

 

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

 

 

*** Saitama ***

New infections are [45] people

  →From the press, there are only news of individual infections.

  →There was also some information about infected people living in Tokyo or working in Tokyo.

 

*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 ***

New infections are [28] people

   →Yokohama National University students [1] people

     * Cumulative total of 9 students (in the same circle-related)

     * On the 15th and 16th,

      a circle member will have dinner at a restaurant in the city

   →Indian sailor man [3] people

     *She was visiting a friend who lives in Sagamihara city.

     *After staying at a medical institution or accommodation facility,

      staying at a hotel

     *Re-examination for returning to India on 20th → Re-positive

   →40s female nursery teacher in Hyogo prefecture [1] person

     *Positive in Narita Airport Quarantine

     *A colleague has already confirmed infection at a nursery school in Hyogo prefecture.

   →Male college student attending a university in Tokyo

 

*** Chiba ***

New infections are [26] people

   →20s female caregiver in Matsudo City [1] person

     *Since her husband was found infected on the 19th, she took a break from work before the onset of symptoms, so there was no effect on the facility.

   →Outbreak related to stage performances in Shinjuku [1] person

     *Female employees in their 50s in Matsudo City

   →"the entertainment district at night" in Chuo-ku, Chiba

     *After the outbreak of 7 people,

      the examination of the remaining 6 ends

     *All → Negative

     *Tracking infected persons based on the list of store users

 

*** Osaka ***

New infections are [149] people

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

    →Unknown infection route  [91] people

    →Rich contacts of unknown infection route [19] people

    →Hannan University club activities [19] people

 

 

*** Aichi ***

New infections are [63] people

    → Nagoya City [38] 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.

    after lifted Emergency Declaration

    →US military base "Camp Hansen" [2] people

      *Cumulative related to US military = 165 people

 

(*NHK NEWS WEB)

 

 

 

In prefectures other than the above, many prefectures, including Nara, Fukuoka, Hyogo, Kyoto 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.

acertainfox512.hatenablog.com

 

 

 And from yesterday, it was the first consecutive holiday since the "Go To (Travel) Campaign" started.

 

 


There were fewer people in Tokyo during the day than I expected today.

Although it was not so much as during the emergency declaration, it seems that there were 20 to 30% fewer people than usual, probably because 366 new infections were effective yesterday.

 

 

However, I think that people who are noisy or have dinner at Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, etc. at night should be careful or refrain a little bit.

 

 

 

 And...,

 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) 29,740

+ (Number of hospital discharges )  1,007

+ (Number of hospital discharges ) 21,987

= 6,739 people ← being treated 

 

(If it is exactly as announced)

Tomorrow will be 7,000 people...?

 


米 感染者400万人超 感染拡大歯止めかからず 深刻な状態続く | NHKニュース

 In this way, it seems that in the United States it has exceeded 3 million on July 8th this month, and has exceeded 4 million in just two weeks, so I don't think it is not the place when peple are hanging out with their friends outside.

 

 

However, Japan has been able to almost converge the infection even once, and I think that it will definitely be converged, so I would like you to take another step and move towards the convergence by some reason.

 

 

 

Please be very careful when you go out!
