The number of new infections in Tokyo has been around 100 for the first time in a while!

 

 

I just want to rejoice, but today is Monday...

It's Monday today with a small number of infected people and Monday is easy to be small number, and also today's is "Monday after four consecutive holidays" instead of just "Monday after Saturday and Sunday"...

 

So, I think that it's small number of new infection today.

 

 

But for the time being, I'm glad It didn't have much today.

 

 

Well,, I will summarize

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

 

 

Out of [131] new infections in Tokyo

 

・Today's newly infected people are men and women in their under10 to 80s

 

[79] people is in their 20s to 30s

  (about 60% of the total)

 

[34] people is in their 40s to 50s

  (about 26% of the total)

 

 [10] people is

  in 『the entertainment district at night』

     *According to a person in charge of the Tokyo metropolitan area, the fact that the number of tests in the Shinjuku area was low during the four consecutive holidays may have been the reason for the low number of infected people.

 


Infection at home [14] people

Infection at office [9] people

Infection at a dinner with friends and acquaintances [8] people

     *At the dinner, four men in their 30s to 50s participated in a drinking party of about 20 people.

 

Fuchu City's Metropolitan Children's Medical Center [2] people

    *Two female nurses in their 50s in the intensive care unit (PICU) for children

    *4 infections have already been confirmed at PICU

    *A total of 23 doctors and nurses standby at home

    *From 24th, new patient acceptance at the Child Rescue Center is suspended for the time being

 

(Cluster information)

Area outbreak in Oimachi, Shinagawa City [6] people

    *Employees and customers of four restaurants

    *One customer who was confirmed infected on July 17

     →Infected people confirmed from 3 stores used by the customer

     →Infected person confirmed from another store in the same area

    * 200 small restaurants are crowded in this area

     → Many customers drop in at multiple stores in one day

 

*It is unknown when the number of infected persons is counted.

 

 

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

Number of hospitalized : 1260 ( +95)

Number of seriously ill :  19 ( +1)

Home medical treatment : 483 ( +31)

Hotel medical treatment : 212 ( +33)

Adjusting for "hospitalization or hotel or home treatment" : 598 ( -368)

 *( )= 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

 

* A hospital in Tokyo has secured 2400 beds (+100 beds for critically ill patients).

 → Aim to secure 2,800 beds.

 

 

 

Rich contacts [52] people

   (about 40% of the total)

Unknown infection route [79] people

    (about 60% of the total)

 

 

Quarantine at the airport

  Arriving at Narita/Haneda/Fukuoka Airport,

    → Men and women from Bangladesh and the Philippines [18] people

    → All asymptomatic infected people

 

 

Since the number of new infections in Tokyo seems to be almost the number of the previous day,

(Because the deadline for the number of new infections on the day is from 9:00 am the day before to 9:00 am on the day)

I think that the number of new infections today has decreased as a result of medical holidays and fewer people going to the hospital during consecutive holidays.

 

 

So I'm afraid of the sharp increase in the number of infected people may be announced this Thursday to Saturday...

 

 

Of course if it doesn't increase, I'm very happy but...

 

 

 

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

 

 

*** Saitama ***

New infections are [23] people

  →A girl under 10 years old in Saitama City - Related

    *Infection confirmed on 21st

    *A total of 99 people with rich contacts, including classes and clubs

    *99 people tested negative, but all stayed home for 2 weeks

 

*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 [14] people

   →A man whose job is picking up and drop off restaurant employees of outside the prefecture [1] person

     *Male in her 40s

     *Is it a restaurant...? I think that it's a job of a cabaret club...

   →Inpatient of "General Shinkawabashi Hospital" [1] person

     *Women in their 50s

     *One nurse was already confirmed at this hospital

     *Checking for other infected persons

   →A pharmacist in his 40s living in Tokyo

    and working at a hospital in Yokohama [1] person

     *They are currently confirming rich contacts.

 

*** Chiba ***

New infections are [24] people

   →"The entertainment district at night" in Chuo-ku, Chiba [1] person

     *Female customers in their 20s

     *9 employees have already confirmed infection at this restaurant

   →Nursing facilities in the prefecture [1] person

     *Female nurse in her 50s in Sakura City

     *Currently confirming rich contacts

 

*** Osaka ***

New infections are [87] people

      →There is no information today...

 

 

*** Aichi ***

New infections are [76] people

    →Nagoya City [36] people, Toyota City [3] 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.

◆◆◆ Shizuoka ◆◆◆

New infections are [14] people

 

(Cluster information)

     Outbreak is occurring at two restaurants in Hamamatsu City

      * Lounge "Brillia" (Tamachi, Naka-ku)

       = a restaurant of "the entertainment district at night"

      *Magic bar "Magician Hamamatsu Branch" (Chitose-cho, Naka-ku)

         *These two shops are 400 meters away

         *The infection route is unknown

         *Planned PCR test for 200 rich contacts

         *18 people are confirmed infection on July 26

 

 

◆◆◆ Kumamoto ◆◆◆

New infections are [12] people

    →Outbreaks in nursing homes for the elderly [8] people

       *Facility name "Sun" in Yamaga City 

       *8 are 7 elderly and 1 employee

       *Male employees in their 20s confirmed infection on 26th

 

 

(*NHK NEWS WEB)

 

 

 

In prefectures other than the above, many prefectures, including Kyoto, Hyogo and Okinawa etc. have new infections of 10 or more.

 

 

The infection has begun to spread in Okinawa...

It's a tourist spot, so there are probably many trips from areas with a high number of infected people such as Tokyo and Kanto, but it is a bit scary when the infection begins to spread on remote islands that are not on land. ..

 

 


In addition, in Kyoto, it was announced that one male soldier in his 30s at the U.S. Army Kyouga-Misaki Communication-Station was infected with COVID-19

 

The route of infection is unknown.

 

He lived in Kyotango City and visited Hyogo Prefecture on July 12th and Kobe City on July 19th for sightseeing.

 

it is said that he is the first to be infected at this facility , and from now on they will investigate rich contacts.

 

In Okinawa and Kanagawa as well, the infection of US soldiers in Japan has begun to become news.

 

 

To Change the Subject,

today went back to weekdays after the 4th consecutive holiday, but some data on the movements of people during the 4th consecutive holiday came out!

4連休 都内からの移動は大型連休の1.5倍 他府県より増加は低く | NHKニュース

According to NTT Docomo, those who moved during consecutive holidays compared with Golden Week (Consecutive Holidays in May Japan) that was under the emergency declaration is like that!

Osaka  1.71times

Kanagawa 1.67times

Chiba  1.64times

Aichi  1.59times

Tokyo  1.48times

And  in the areas where movement from Tokyo has increased...

Okinawa  3.41times

Kyoto   2.25times

Shizuoka  2.18times

Ishikawa  2times

Nagano  1.89times

 

If you look only at the numbers, you think it's "It's increasing...",

but to be honest, during the emergency declaration, almost people had refrained from moving.

(Though an expert teacher also says),

the number of people who are moving is not increasing.

 

 

Also the number of people in central Tokyo during consecutive holidays is...

Ginza  :  47.1% decrease from the sameperiod last year

Shinjuku :  51.1% decrease from the sameperiod last year

Shibuya :  38.8% decrease from the sameperiod last year

4連休最終日の人出 都心で減少 | NHKニュース

It seems like this was less than usual, and I'm glad that everyone was wary...

 

 

And regarding to this, Governor Koike said that

東京都 小池知事 4連休「適切な行動していただいた」 | NHKニュース

"I said I had to endure 4 consecutive holidays, but I think I spent each while devising. Thank you for your cooperation. "

Really she says like other affairs........

 

She is the leader who manages all the measures.........

 

 

In addition, Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga said that

菅官房長官 高齢者の感染増加傾向「メリハリ効いた対策実施」 | NHKニュース

It is not the situation to issue an emergency declaration again

  (There are few seriously ill persons, and it is not necessary to reduce socioeconomic activities now)

・For the "Go To Travel (Travel) Campaign", we do not currently consider excluding regions other than Tokyo. (related to increase of the number of infection of other prefecture)

 

 

And for the "Go To Travel (Travel) Campaign"

菅官房長官 「ワーケーション」普及で観光促進を | NHKニュース

The tourism-related industry is in a very difficult situation.

・Only for facilities that are properly controlling infections, support the accommodation price through the "Go To Travel (Travel) Campaign".

・As a "new style of travel and work style," we will provide Wi-Fi support to hotels, etc. to set up "workation (work-vacation)" that allow them to work by telework while traveling and set up "satellite offices" that are corporate bases in tourist areas...

・Promote attracting luxury hotels by the recovery of foreign demand.

etc., it seems that Mr Suga is thinking about that.

 

 

No... I don't want to work while traveling... .. (Lol)

 

 

By the way, "Go To Travel (Travel) Campaign" can buy travel products at a discounted price from today!

(Until now, we had to get an accommodation certificate at the accommodation facility, and once I paid the full amount, we had to get a refund after the trip)

「Go Toトラベル」きょうから割り引き後価格で商品販売可能に | NHKニュース

Perhaps most booking sites, including hotels, will get the discount!

 

 

...I don't care because I live in Tokyo (because it is excluded)... (crying)

 

lol

 

 

And the story changes,

as the Chief Cabinet Secretary declares, the Metropolitan Police Department has visited Kabukicho and Ikebukuro!

歌舞伎町に立ち入った警察「通常の活動」 店側は反発も:朝日新聞デジタル

(*Kabukicho and Ikebukuro = the entertainment district at night)

(In Japan, it's currently fairly big problem that infected people in the "entertainment district at night" are spread infection in Tokyo area)

 

(I don't say why didn't they do it sooner...)

They did it right!

 

I don't think they can do it all the restaurant in Kabukicho and Ikebukuro in one day,

so I hope they can continue to do so,

and hopefully this will reduce the number of infections...

 

 

And This is a stunt in which the police conduct on-site inspections of COVID-19 using one of the law regarding to "the entertainment district at night",

but the acting representative of the "entertainment district at night" has criticized in this way.

"Why come to the police?"

"I can only think that they are trying to tighten."

"Of course the store side cooperates.

  But if we did everything exactly as they said, we cannot manage our company.

  Aslo there are no compensation."

 

(*Tokyo has already decided to subsidize 500,000 yen per store and a total rent subsidy of 44 billion yen.)

(* I think that general citizens like me should be subsidized for rent...lol)

 

 

I know they aren't happy about the police coming, but it's one of the places where the outbreaks are occured, and spread COVID-19 infection to whole area of Tokyo from that places....

And even now, infected people appear every day.....

 

 

I also understand that,
It's difficult because they have to manage or live...

 

 

Well,

Eventually, relaxation of event holding restrictions will finally be able to select "postponement",

Scheduled to be relaxed on August 1 → postponed until the end of August

イベント緩和を見送り、8月末まで制限継続 西村氏表明:朝日新聞デジタル

First of all, it is gradually starting to move COVID-19 infection towards convergence again!

 

 

....Before that, because the number of new infections has increased too much...

 

 

 

To change the subject again,

There is some good news!

I posted on this blog from few days before,

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.

 

 And..

Next is special 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 I stopped posting here for a while, but I was forgetting it for a while, so I am re-pasting it from yesterday ↓

 

acertainfox512.hatenablog.com

 

This is an article that I have summarized before,

but I would like to know how long time the materials such as paper, cloth, plastic, etc. need to eliminating the risk when coronavirus is attached, and how effective disinfection is. If you are interested, please take a look!

 

 

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

 

(Number of people infected nationwide) 31,978

+ (Number of hospital discharges )  1,012

+ (Number of hospital discharges ) 22,775

=8,186 people ← being treated

 

(If it is exactly as announced)

Unfortunately, with this momentum, it seems that 10,000 people will soon be exceeded.

 



sorry!

Today, the summary is very long... !!

 

There was too much information to convey because there were many holidays,

and there were too many things to convey...

 


Personally, it's too scary to write English articles if it gets too long...lol

(↑Because I'm not good at English...)

 

 

And I'm sorry if it's hard to read or it's hard to understand because it's been lengthened. ..

 

 Let's get correct information and prevent infection!

 

 

 

Please be very careful when you go out!
