*( )= increse  from the day before

 

 

 

As for the number of new infections in Tokyo, the number of new infections was quite large on Thursday and Friday...

 

 

Other prefectures are already quicker to respond and take countermeasures, and have issued their own emergency declarations such as Okinawa.

 

Set it aside whether or not it is good or bad to declare of the emergency ,  but It's strange that Tokyo has almost no countermeasures even if it exceeds 300 or 400 of infected people like this week.

 

 

Well,, I will summarize

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

 

 

Out of [472] new infections in Tokyo

 

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

 

[324] people is in their 20s to 30s

  (about 69% of the total)

 

 [29] people is

  in 『the entertainment district at night』

  →Employees and guests such as host clubs and cabaret clubs

   *Including those with unknown routes of infection


Infection at home [50] people

Infection at office [25] people

Infection at a dinner with friends and acquaintances [22] people

 

 

A person in charge of the city analyzes that "one of the factors contributing to the increase is 4 consecutive holidays".

  →"I traveled with friends for 4 days during the last 4 holidays"

  →"I had a barbecue with five friends"

  →"We had a drinking party with 8 people"

 There were many infections among people who went out or hang out with their friends during the four consecutive holidays.

 

 

 

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

Number of hospitalized : 1220 ( +23)

Number of seriously ill :  15 ( -1)

Home medical treatment : 388 ( -13)

Hotel medical treatment : 319 ( +31

Adjusting for "hospitalization or hotel or home treatment" : 1156 ( +298)

 *( )= increse  from the day before

 

*Tokyo currently has 5 facilities for infected people

 (Capacity of 1260 people)

*Plans to increase the number of accepted hotels or facilities by 1 within this month

 

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

 → Aim to secure 2,800 beds.

 

*The hotels is that,

"the b Hachiouji", "the b Ikebukuro", "DayniceHOTEL Tokyo",

"Toyoko INN Shinjukukabukicho", "Toyoko INN Tokyo Station Shinoohashimae"

"Shinagawa Prince Hotel (East Tower)"

* 東京都福祉保健局 *3施設追加|東京都

 

 

 

Rich contacts [167] people

   (about 35% of the total)

Unknown infection route [305] people

    (about 65% of the total)

 

 

 

Quarantine at the airport

  Arriving at Narita/Haneda/Kansai Airport,

    → Men and women from Thailand and Peru etc. [5] people

    → Arrived in Japan on the 31th and 1st

    → 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)

 

 

 

 

It's really scary that there are more than 300 people with "Unknown infection routes".

It's not strange to be anywhere in town.

Please be careful when you go out.

 

 

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

(*NHK NEWS WEB)

 

 

 

There are quite a few areas where there are more than 100 people instead of 10 people, and there are many areas where dozens of people are infected...

 

 

As I wrote yesterday, there are more than 100 infected people not only in Osaka and Nagoya but also in Fukuoka,

but Kanagawa, Chiba and Saitama, which are right next to Tokyo (where the number of new infected people is 472 today) have a few infected people by comparison.

Although the population should be large (in Saitama, Kanagawa and Chiba), the number of infected people has not increased to that level.

At least 100 people are not exceeded.

 

It's been true here for a long time, but this is strange...

 

 

Well, considering Kanagawa, Saitama, and Chiba, it's really good that there aren't more than 100 people (although there are many infected people).

 

 

Now, I will put together a list of articles that I was interested in and I would like to introduce!

 

 

The first one is here

「外出自粛やむを得ない」 県の緊急事態宣言 県民、賛意と戸惑い - Yahoo!ニュース

It wasn't about Tokyo from the beginning, but Okinawa's own emergency declaration was issued yesterday.

The reaction of the local people is as follows.

 

 "The last time of emergency declaration, I was in a rush to resume work, this time it's expanding the infection, so I refrain from going out."

 

"We cannot stop spreading infection much now. We are considering re-closing to protect ourselves."

 

"I wish there is no Go To Travel campaign..."

 

"Because there was no "Go To~" and only travel within the prefecture, infections did not increase."

 


"This emergency declaration is unavoidable, the governor is correct"

They said.

沖縄コロナ病床、限界を超える | 沖縄タイムス+プラス

It seems that the hospital bed utilization rate in Okinawa has already exceeded 100%.

(* About 20 people had to wait because they could not find a hospital on the 31st)

It seems that you are giving priority to the seriously ill

This is a state close to "medical collapse". ..

 

While telling about the current situation in Okinawa, I wrote in the article as a reminder that this will happen if Tokyo exceeds the tolerance of infection.

 

 

Even so, each prefecture was suddenly inclined to make its own emergency declaration.

 

And this time, the target was really pinpointed to the restaurants that provide alcoholic beverages and "the entertainment district at night".

I think this is really good.

However, I want them to take another step or measures because I feel like it's lacking something yet.

 

I think this is probably because I see Shinjuku and Shibuya at night every day,

but in Shinjuku and Shibuya at night, many young people were outside until 2 or 3 o'clock in the night and drinking and walking up to that time. And also there are other adults  outside in midnight...

I really feel that they have to be self-restraint "only" few weeks to converge COVID-19, so if they don't put up with it for a little while, the infection probably won't stop.

 

 

"Infectious diseases" and "viruses" are really difficult to control...

 

 

"We just have to put up with it", but it is really difficult to put up with it.

(I realize that myself.)

 

 

The second one is here.

歌舞伎座が5か月ぶり公演再開 掛け声はなし 新型コロナ | NHKニュース

Kabukiza has been restarted!

It's irresistible to fans!

 

Measures such as reducing the number of seats to less than half when restarting the performance etc.

it seem to be sufficient about measures.


Since it is a Japanese traditional performing art, I think that they are really paying close attention to the prevention of infection, so I hope that they can perform well and become a model for the event!

 

 

 

The third is here.

「大きな繁華街で感染が広がっている状況」西村経済再生相 | NHKニュース

Today's Minister of Economic Rehabilitation, Nishimura, said:

 

 

"(Regarding domestic infection status) The number of infected people remains high. I would like to continue to carefully analyze and hear the opinions of experts."

 

"We would like to strengthen measures that focus on areas and industries, and reduce COVID-19 by payment the amount of support money to companies that cooperate with us. I want to support as well."

 

 

It's enough to listening to the opinions of experts, so take some measures...

 

 

…Oops, I'm sorry, the real intention came out....

 

 
However, it is possible that neither the Tokyo Metropolitan Government nor the government has taken proper measures, and it has spread to all parts of the country.

 

 

 

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!

 

 

In relation to this yesterday,

新型コロナ ワクチン供給で米企業と基本合意 加藤厚労相 | NHKニュース

Japan has also reached an agreement to receive vaccine supply for COVID-19!

 

…It is not the Oxford product of above, but the product that is being jointly developed by the American pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and a German pharmaceutical company for vaccine development.

If this goes well, it seems that they are aiming to enter the approval process in the United States in October.

 

It seems that the supply is for 60 million people.

 

 

The topic of vaccines is gradually increasing!

 

 

In addition,

ワクチン「ことしの終わりか来年はじめに完成」米の専門家 | NHKニュース

As for vaccine coverage in the United States,

They said

 

"It's not a dream, it's a real prospect to be completed at the end of this year or early next year."

 

 

In the US, the NIH = National Institute of Health and the pharmaceutical company "Moderna" have started the final clinical trial of the vaccine under development on July 27.

 

 

But..., not at the end of the year, just a little sooner please!!! (Cry)

 

 

 

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

 

(Number of people infected nationwide) 38,637

+ (Number of hospital discharges )  1,026

+ (Number of hospital discharges ) 26,165

=11,446 people ← being treated

 

(If it is exactly as announced)

It have exceeded 10,000 people so quickly...



Since today is Saturday,

in "COVID-19 Trend Calendar in Tokyo"

which is always summarized at the bottom,

the total number of infected people for the week was given.

A little more increase than I expected.

I hope next week will not increase dramatically on a weekly basis...

 

However, todal number of this week is about 3 or 4 times of few weeks before, so when I think about it that's a shame...

 

 

Despite the highest number of people infected in Tokyo today, coverage was less than I expected.


I hope that everyone's senses have not become numb because of the number of infected people has increased too much.

 

And 10,000 yen per day is too cheap to business suspension request, right?

If they really want to stop the infection, they must put out the amount that people are satisfied with.

 


I hope that they can devise countermeasures and eventually control COVID-19.

Until then, be careful to prevent infection.

 

 

 

Please be very careful when you go out!
