The number of new infections in Tokyo has decreased by nearly 50 compared to last Saturday(472)!

 


What was the factor?

To be honest, I thought "I wonder if there are 500 people today..."

I was so surprised, including the fact that I had less than yesterday (462) ...!

 

 

…Always add, but still too much...

 

 

Well, I will summarize

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

 

 

Out of [462] new infections in Tokyo

 

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

 

[274] people is in their 20s to 30s

  (about 64% of the total)

 

 [26] people is

  in 『the entertainment district at night』

  →Employees and guests such as host clubs and cabaret clubs

 
Infection at home [43] people

Infection at office [21] people

Infection at a dinner with friends and acquaintances [21] people

Infection within the facility [14] people

Infection from "other" rich contacts [31] people

 

・Nippon Sport Science University Judo Club [Cumulative 10] people

   *Since 2 people were confirmed to be infected on July 29, a total of 10 people have been confirmed by 8th today.

   *Students are prohibited from entering the campus in Setagaya Ward, where the dojo is located.

NHK Production Bureau male employees in their 40s [1] person

   *Cumulative total of 3 infections at the production station, all in charge of morning information program "Asaichi"

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

Number of hospitalized : 1509 ( +34)

Number of seriously ill :  25 ( +2)

Home medical treatment : 532 ( +55)

Hotel medical treatment : 428 ( +13

Adjusting for "hospitalization or hotel or home treatment" : 1125 ( +79)

People discharged from hospital or

those who have completed medical treatment at home:11,609 ( +248)

 *( )= increse  from the day before

 

Net increase in infected people in Tokyo

 = (Number of new infections)

   - (Number of people who completed medical treatment)

 = 429 - 248

 = +181

 

*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 [156] people

   (about 36% of the total)

Unknown infection route [273] people

    (about 64% of the total)

 

Quarantine at the airport

  Arriving at Narita/Haneda Airport

    → Men and women from the Philippines and Korea [9] people
    → Arrived on Augus 7 to 8
    → All asymptomatic infected

 

 

*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)

 

 

 

 

And information on measures against infectious diseases in Tokyo ↓

And Tokyo is from August 3,

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

started!

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"...

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

in the "COVID-19 Trend Calendar in Tokyo" !

 

f:id:acertainfox512:20200809070402p:plain

 

It's like the total of [2373] people for one week.

By mid-July, the total number of infected people per week had increased at a rate of 1.5 to 2 times, so it would be nice if today's numbers were showing that the growth was gradually slowing down...

 

 

I just hope the total number of infected people next week will be lower than this week...

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...

 

 

 

By the way, Fukuoka Prefecture has corrected the number of new infections about once every two days during the past week.

 

After all, on-the-spot may be confusing because the infection has spread too much...


In addition, since the number of infected people is over double digits in many prefectures, the number of infected people is increasing considerably, the other day, I introduced the change of the system in Tokyo like below,

 

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!

 

but I hope that the whole country change to this system. It will decrease the mistakes.

 

 

Also, I did not dare to summarize in the above regional areas,

◆◆◆ Okinawa ◆◆◆

In Okinawa, in the Matsuyama district of Naha City, the largest entertainment district at night in Okinawa, it has been confirmed that

Outbreak occurred at 2 stores, and

eight other places have been infected.

As a result, a collective test of PCR was conducted on people working in the district, and Cumulative 86 people were confirmed to be infected...

(*It was unknown on which day the new infection was counted)

 

And what surprised me was that the infectious disease specialist who cooperated with the test analyzed that

 

"The reason why COVID-19 spread in Okinawa is that the hosts and hostesses on the mainland came to hang out and work".

 

Although the government itself is pushing the trip hard in the "Go To Travel Campaign" and it's difficult to blame them, I still wants them to think a little more.

 

However, if we think about it that way, there is still a high risk of infection in relation to the "entertainment district at night"...

 

 

Let's change the subject.

I posted few days before about monitoring conference in Tokyo.

This is the summary↓

 

・Rate of infected persons by age (one week until August 3)

  ・20s 43.2%

  ・30s 24.0%

  ・40s 12.6%

  ・50s   8.0%

 

・infection route (one week until August 4)

  ・Home      26.0%

  ・Restaurant with entertainment at night 19.3%

  ・Workplace      17.9%

  ・Meal dinner       13.8%

 

 ・Those with many infection routes by age group (one week until August 4)

  ・20s・30s Restaurant with entertainment at night 24.1%

  ・40s・50s Home      33.5%

  ・60s    Home      40.5%

  ・Over70s  Home      51.0%

 

・The highest number of infections was in Shinjuku Ward at 13.9%, but in other areas the infection spreads evenly.

 

・Although the number of hospitalizations such as middle-aged and elderly who are at risk of seriousness is increasing, beds for the seriously ill are still secured, and the situation is ”still in the second stage out of the four stages". 

 

In order to prevent overwhelming hospitals, patients who have a low risk of becoming seriously hospitalized by a doctor should be treated at the hotel or at home.

 

 

Considering the population distribution, it would be strange that the population with the smallest population in their 20s and the population with the next smallest population in their 30s would also have the smallest number of infections if all citizens acted with the same precautions.

However, considering the fact that people in their 20s account for more than 40% of the total number of infected people, their daily behavior will determine whether or not they will be infected. ..

 

 

Of course, I know most of the people in their 20s are careful about preventing infection...

 

 

 

 


And here's what I've posted every day, but it's positive information about therapeutic drugs and vaccines!

 

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!

 

 

 

 

Regarding to the contents above,

 

Finally, Japan has reached an agreement with AstraZeneca on negotiations to supply this vaccine! !! !!

新型コロナ ワクチン供給で「アストラゼネカ」と合意へ 厚労省 | 新型コロナウイルス | NHKニュース

英製薬“ワクチン”1億回分供給で合意へ(日本テレビ系(NNN)) - Yahoo!ニュース

 It is said that clinical trials will begin in Japan this month.

 

 I said that like above, but

 

According to today's report, in Japan, they will establish a system for supply from January to March next year...

 

No, it's too late...

 

AstraZeneca's Executive Officer Norio Tanaka, responsible for the development of the new corona vaccine in Japan, said

 

"Once clinical trials are over, supplies may start in the UK as early as next month. I want to start the supply to Japan as soon as possible so that it will not be delayed."

 

But he also said,

 

“Japanese data is likely to be very limited. We think that we should move forward considering the expected effect and virus threat, but we need to discuss with MHLW what kind of safety measures can be taken with limited data. ]

 

 

Apparently he says he has to think about the safety of different races.

 

 

… Like lemdecivir (also a therapeutic drug that was licensed in the U.S. of different races and was specially licensed as a therapeutic drug in Japan), the original plan may be "January to March", but I hope that the Japanese people will be able to get it faster.

 

 

 

 

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 Brazil, which has the second highest number of infected people in the world after the United States, 50,000 people have been confirmed to be infected each day, and some local governments also carry out free PCR testing in some areas.

新型コロナ 世界で2番目に感染者多いブラジルで無料のPCR検査 | NHKニュース

I think Brazil has started large-scale vaccination in the final trial of this AstraZeneca and Oxford University vaccine, but what about the effect?

I'm curious.

 

 

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

 

(Number of people infected nationwide) 48,176

+ (Number of hospital discharges )  1,056

+ (Number of hospital discharges ) 31,966

=15,156 people ← being treated

 

(If it is exactly as announced)

The number of people exceeded 15,000 in no time...

 

 

In Japan, there is a traditional period called "Obon".


It is customary to visit ancestors' graves from August 13th to 15th, but this year, due to COVID-19, it has been argued on TV and news that "Obon should refrain from moving."

 

I don't know if that is the result,

お盆休み 空港も混雑見られず 帰省客「消毒など徹底」 | NHKニュース

お盆休みの週末 新幹線 新型コロナ影響で利用者大幅減 | NHKニュース

There were reports today that there were fewer people at stations and airports than usual.

It is good for everyone to be self-restraining and preventive!

 

There are also people who say, "I've tested antibodies to go home,"

and I just respect them. ..

 

 

Please be very careful when you go out!
