Despite Tuesday, the number of new infections in Tokyo has already exceeded 300...

 

 

About a week,

Sunday/Monday = Fewer infected people

Tuesday/Wednesday = Number of infected people is not so high

Thursday/Friday/Saturday = Large number of infected people

the number of new infections is changing every week like this,

There are so many infected people on Tuesday, which should be few, it is unavoidable that Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are too scary...

 

What numbers do the government and Tokyo actually think are OK? ...

(I think that I have set the allowable MAX number)

 

 

Well, I will summarize

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

 

 

Out of [309] new infections in Tokyo

 

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

    → Men and women from the United State,

     the Philippines and China [23] people
    → Arrived on August 2 to 4

*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)

 

 

 

The person in charge of the city explained as follows.

 

"On Mondays and Tuesdays, the number of hospitals that are closed on weekend is increasing, so it tends to be relatively small number of infected people."

 

As I thought it's like that...

What you expected was a fact.

 

In fact, the number of infected people is low on Mondays and Tuesdays.

 

 

…However, today there are many...

 

 

 

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

*** Fukuoka ***

New infections are [89] people

     ・Fukuoka City [45] people

     ・Kitakyushu City [24] people

 

 

(*NHK NEWS WEB)

 

 

Comparing the number of infected people across the country.

コロナ 10万人当たりの感染者数 沖縄がトップ 次いで東京 福岡 | NHKニュース

In a week from July 27th to August 1st,

Comparing each region with the number of infected people per 100,000 population

▽Okinawa : 18.38 people / 100,000 population
▽Tokyo : 15.72 people / 100,000 population
▽Fukuoka : 13.83 people / 100,000 population
▽Osaka : 13.68 people / 100,000 population
▽Aichi : 12.80 people / 100,000 population
▽Miyazaki : 9.51 people / 100,000 population
Kumamoto : 8.98 people / 100,000 population

This means that the more people they have, the more the infection is spreading.

Due to the smaller population compared to cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, the number of infected people in Okinawa is remarkable...

It's also scary that Osaka, Fukuoka and Aichi are almost the same as Tokyo...

 

 

 

 This is the part that I posted in the total column of Tokyo few days before. ↓

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.

 

This is a statement from a person in charge of Tokyo who actually collects information on infected people on Saturday, August 1, when there were nearly 500 infected people.

 

"If you stretch your wings too much on holidays, you will get infected"

 

You can see that by looking at this...

It's the summer vacation season, and the rainy season is over and it's getting hotter. It's the season when you want to go out, but when you go out, be careful of infection control.

 

 And one more thing I can feel...

It seems that perhaps the test method or the number of tests has become easier to carry out, the infected person will be known within 6 days after the infected day.

So from now on, COVID-19 can be detected in less than a week after the infection. It means that.

I was a little surprised because it was said that it was 2 weeks ago.

 

The inspection system is also evolving.

 

 

And regarging to above, 

This is the content summarized the few days before,

but why you shouldn't pass COVID-19 to the elderly

is like that↓

In addition, the analysis results of 325 people who died of COVID-19 by the end of June in Tokyo were also shown.

80・90代感染者の3割超死亡、死者平均年齢79.3歳…都分析 - Yahoo!ニュース

The average age of the dead was 79.3 years old, and most of them had underlying diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and kidney disease.

In addition, the ratio by age of those who die of being infected with COVID-19 is as follows.

70s:17.0%

80s:30.2%

90s:33.9%

and,

under 50s:0.5%

In this way, statistical analysis shows that the new corona should never be passed on to elderly people.

In particular,

there is an analysis that 30% of people in their 80s or older will die if they get COVID-19, and I really want young people living in their parents' houses to be careful...

 

  ↑ (It may be disturbing but ) it is the summer vacation season / Obon season, so please let me put it on for a few days.

 

 


And Tokyo is from August 3,

"Request to shorten business hours to restaurants that provide alcoholic beverages“

is start!

 

東京都 酒提供の飲食店など きょうから営業時間短縮を要請 | NHKニュース

Target:All karaoke shops

       All restaurants that serve alcoholic beverages

        (For approximately 40,000 businesses)

Period:August 3rd-August 31st

Hours:Until 10 pm

Remark:

Stores that have taken proper measures and posted a "Declaration of thorough infection prevention sticker" will receive a cooperation fee of 200,000 yen when they respond to a request to shorten business hours.

 

I hope this will reduce the number of infected people. ..

 

Even so, I think that the cooperation fee of “200,000 yen” is too small for a shop that is doing its best at high rent in Tokyo”.

 

I want the governmet to make it a little more like "everyone want to cooperate".

Then I'm sure everyone will comply with the request. ..

 

In connection with this, Governor Koike today said,

"It is not good that the countermeasure period becomes long. I'm asking until the end of August"...

感染対策で営業時間短縮 都知事「長くなるのはよくない」 | NHKニュース

 

 

No... let's do it until COVID-19 is controled...

 

 

And today,

Positive rate (the rate at which it is discovered that a person is actually infected by testing)

Hospital bed usage rate

There was a statistics article!

 

First, about the positive rate,

新型コロナ 検査した人の陽性率 全国で上昇 約1か月で4.6倍に | NHKニュース

▽ Shiga has changed from 0.0% in the week of June 22 to 22.4% in the week of July 20
▽ Aichi has changed from 0.0% in the week of June 22 to 15.5% in the week of July 20
▽ Osaka has changed 0.4% in the week of June 22 to 9.7% in the week of July 20
▽ Tokyo has changed 7.7% in the week of June 22 to 2.5% in the week of July 20
▽ Fukuoka has changed 0.3% in the week of June 22 to 7.7% in the week of July 20
▽ Miyazaki has changed 0.0% in the week of June 22 to 7.1% in the week of July 20

 

 

Also, the hospital bed usage rate is

新型コロナ 入院患者 約1か月で5倍以上に ベッド使用率も上昇 | NHKニュース

▽ Tokyo has 1,250 people, 4.2 times as of last month's 1st
▽ Osaka Prefecture has 534 people, 20.5 times as of last month's 1st
▽ Saitama Prefecture has 243 people, 3 times as of the last month's 1st
▽Aichi prefecture has 195 people, 65 times as of last month's 1st
▽Fukuoka Prefecture has 183 people, 11.4 times as of last month's 1st
▽Hyogo Prefecture has 148 people, 24.7 times as of last month's 1st
▽Kanagawa has 145 people, 2.8 times as of last month's 1st

 


Looking at this,

the spread of infection in other areas such as Osaka and Aichi is more pronounced than in Tokyo.

 

 


Until a week or two ago, there were only a few areas where the number of infected people was 10 or more, but now, the number of new infected people is 10 or more from a considerable number of areas. But, it's really scary because it's expanded too much.

 

 


In connection with that, in the Setagaya Ward of Tokyo, the mayor has issued a policy to significantly strengthen the PCR test system.

世田谷区のPCR検査強化 厚労相 検査拡充には病床確保など必要 | NHKニュース

Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare said,

"In order to strengthen the inspection system, it is necessary to secure beds for people with confirmed infections, and it is important to prepare the whole system."

 

 

That also makes sense...

After all, it wouldn't make sense if medical care collapsed...

However, it is a really difficult problem because I want it to be the system that people who want test can immediately take it.

 

 

Sorry for the lengthy article...

But...there are a few more articles I would like to introduce...

 

 

First one,

雇用調整助成金の特例措置 期限の延長 与野党双方が求める | NHKニュース

Now, the special measure for the employment adjustment subsidy is due on September 30, next month.

It was said that most of the politicians are now giving an opinion to the government that it will expand until the end of the year, and the government will consider seeking financial resources.

 

I want them to do this as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it will be about time for companies to start personnel reduction, and it will be late after someone is dismissed, so I would like them to decide to extend it to the end of the year as soon as possible.

 

 

 

And the second,

シンガポール コロナで自宅で隔離の人に腕輪型端末を義務づけ | NHKニュース

In Singapore, it seems that people who are isolated from their homes will be equipped with bracelet terminals for management.

It means that if the person goes out a certain distance from his house or try to remove it, a warning will be sent to the authorities...

After all, the country where strong politics can be done is different.

 

 

However, infectious diseases are basically such scary diseases.

 

 

 

 

 

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 addition to this,

it is said that

Large-scale vaccination of vaccine under development in Russia from October may be possible in Russia

ロシア開発中のワクチン 10月から大規模接種へ 新型コロナ | NHKニュース

and

also in China, the vaccine developed by the PLA institute is proceeding to the final phase 3 and it can be administered only inside the military...!

 

 

 

When we really came here, the topic of vaccines suddenly increased. .. .. !!

Vaccines will change the world of this new corona all at once, so I'm really looking forward to it!

 

 

 

This is the content that Tokyo has changed the counting method.↓

 

In Tokyo, they finally started to operate

"HER-SYS, a system that can manage infected person information"

instead of collecting infected person information by fax from each public health center!

東京都 新型コロナ感染者の情報管理システム 運用開始 | 新型コロナウイルス | NHKニュース

It seems that the patient himself can also input from the smartphone. I hope this will reduce mistakes, speed up detailed presentations, and improve analysis so that pinpoint countermeasures can be taken!

 

I'm really looking forward to it!

 

 

 

 

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

 

(Number of people infected nationwide) 42,167

+ (Number of hospital discharges )  1,036

+ (Number of hospital discharges ) 27,856

=13,285 people ← being treated

 

(If it is exactly as announced)

Even if it exceeds 10,000 people, it is still increasing rapidly...

 

 

 

Japan was really hot today too!

各地で猛暑日 5日も猛烈な暑さ 熱中症に警戒を | 気象 | NHKニュース

As you can see in this article, it will be pretty hot again tomorrow.

It's a temperature where you can't stop sweating just by being outside, but if you wear a mask, you'll almost fall down...

 

 

But it's crunch time now!

 

 

We also had some good news about vaccines... or even next month! ? !! ? ? !! (Happy)

 

 

If it is not next month, it won't be long before we get vaccinated in Japan,so let's all work hard together!

 

 

 

Please be very careful when you go out!
