*( )= increse  from the day before

 

 

 

The number of new infections in Tokyo is over 300 even though it is Sunday. .. .. ..

 

 

It is easy to understand by looking at the end of this summary article,

 "COVID-19 Trend Calendar in Tokyo"

 

Currently, the infection is spreading, and when we look at the calendar vertically, most of the days are "the number of new infections is higher than the same day of the previous week",

f:id:acertainfox512:20200809220614j:plain

It was unusually less yesterday's Saturday than last week's Saturday,

so if I thought,

"I'm glad (I wish it was a sign that the number of infected people would start decreasing...)",

today's Sunday is over 300 people. .. ..

 

There is a "Obon" (it's consecutive holidays in Japan) this week,

but I hope the number of infected people will decrease a little...

 

① Work is closed at Obon, and refraining from returning Parents' home reduces the number of infected people

 

② Everyone goes Parents' home and travel, and the number of infected people increases dramatically

 

I would like it to be ① if possible. ..

 

 

Well, I will summarize

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

 

 

Out of [331] new infections in Tokyo

 

・Today's newly infected people are men and women in their under10 to over100

 

[212] people is in their 20s to 30s

  (about 64% of the total)

 

 [9] people is

  in 『the entertainment district at night』

  →Employees and guests such as host clubs and cabaret clubs

 
Infection at home [33] people

Infection at office [17] people

Infection at a dinner with friends and acquaintances [15] people

Infection within the facility [9] people

Infection from "other" rich contacts [32] people

 

Mass infection in share house [1] person

  *already Infection confirmed by 4 people by yesterday

 

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

Number of hospitalized : 1601 ( +92)

Number of seriously ill :  23 ( -2)

Home medical treatment : 606 ( +74)

Hotel medical treatment : 439 ( +11

Adjusting for "hospitalization or hotel or home treatment" : 1110 ( -15)

People discharged from hospital or

those who have completed medical treatment at home:11,778 ( +169)

 *( )= increse  from the day before

 

Net increase in infected people in Tokyo

 = (Number of new infections)

   - (Number of people who completed medical treatment)

 = 331 - 169

 = +162

 

*Tokyo currently has 5 facilities for infected people

 (Capacity of 2400 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 [115] people

   (about 35% of the total)

Unknown infection route [216] people

    (about 65% of the total)

 

Quarantine at the airport

  Arriving at Narita/Haneda Airport

    → Men and women from the United States and Brazil [6] people
    → Arrived on Augus 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"...

(*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...

 

 

 

In Osaka, Aichi and Fukuoka, there are more than 100 people every day, but most of the days, the infected person details do not appear...

Probably there are too many infected people and they are confused, but I think people who are living that place will want to be careful about prevention from the next sunrise work or school, and if possible, on that day or in the morning of the next day, we would like them to provide details of the infected person and the location of the outbreak...

 

 

By the way, Today is the first day of Obon.

When it comes to rush and congestion such as homecoming...

 連休 高速道路は一部で渋滞 新幹線と空港は目立った混雑なし | NHKニュース

お盆休み初日 8日の人出 駅や空港は大幅減 帰省など見送りか | NHKニュース

I will summarize these articles.

 

First, according to NTT DOCOMO data, the number of people on the 8th today is as follows compared to the average of the days off in August of last year.

 

▽Tokyo Station            decreased by 66.5%
▽ Haneda Airport T1         decreased by 42.0%
▽New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido   decreased by 48.1%
▽Naha Airport in Okinawa Prefecture  decreased by 47.2%
▽Fukuoka Airport           decreased by 33.6%
▽ Osaka Airport           decreased by 12.7%


▽Nagoya station area        decreased by 45.4%
▽Around Umeda, Osaka       decreased by 32.9%
▽Around Fukuoka Tenjin       decreased by 32.6%
▽Around Sapporo Station       decreased by 11.3% 

 

That's a lot less.

 

The highway traffic jam (at 11:00 am) is as follows.

 

25km in Saitama prefecture

17km in Tokyo

12km in Kyoto Prefecture 

12km in Yokohama city (effect of accident)

 

I wonder if this is better than crowding the airport and train stations...

 

In addition, the occupancy rate of Shinkansen is less than 30%,

and about 40% of domestic passengers booked at the airport last year.

 

 

I really hope that the number of infected people will decrease after Obon. ..

 

 

For your information,

What about Tokyo is that...

夜の繁華街の人出増加も 渋谷・センター街では先週比44.2%増 - Yahoo!ニュース

According to SoftBank's subsidiary "Agoop"

The crowds on Friday 7th compared to the previous Friday (31st),

 

Shinjuku/Kabukicho     12.3% decrease

Shibuya/Center Street    44.2% increase

Ginza/Station area     0.2% increased

Around Shinbashi/Station   2.3% decrease

 

Hey Shibuya...

(Since I have a workplace in Shibuya, so abusive words...sorry lol)

 

The young people really sit and make noise at the roadside without a mask until 2:00 and 3:00...

 

 I will summarize about 3 articles that I was interested in shortly.

 

First here

新型コロナ “再”宣言回避へ高齢者などの感染予防策徹底 首相 | NHKニュース

Prime Minister Abe said in this article:

"We have talked with multiple companies about vaccines and agreed that we would receive more than 120 million people, which is almost equivalent to all the people, and we will continue to do our best to secure sufficient quantities."

 

 

No... not just to secure it, but to negotiate so that it can be supplied as soon as possible...

 

 

Next here

新型コロナで収入減の人へ生活支援 国の貸し付け84万件余りに | NHKニュース

It is said that there are 844,000 loans, or 24.3 billion yen, of life support money that can be borrowed without interest by people who have trouble living due to the influence of the new Corona.

That's good, but...

I'm grateful that I can survive this difficult time, but I understand that the country is in poor financial condition,

 

but "lending"...

 

Isn't it just a "debt" that has to be surely returned?

 

 

The special measure for the employment adjustment subsidy, which is also a support for people who have lost their income, is that after all, we will only provide 60% of the reduced number of working days.

I think that “calculation from the amount of reduced income” is commonplace, but I think that people really can get angry. As might be expected.

 

If you don't have a system that truly rescues people who are having a poor income or who are in trouble, the money will not reach people who are really in trouble.

 

 

Third one is here

東京都 新型コロナ患者受け入れの医療機関に支援金支給へ | NHKニュース

Medical institutions that accept COVID-19 patients will be provided with a support fund of "20 million yen + add according to the number of people".

I hope this will help you to read new corona patients...

 

 

 By the way, the story changes for a moment,

but I wonder why there are so many "nosocomial infections" only in Kanagawa prefecture...?

It's really mysterious while always putting together.

Or is it just Kanagawa who talks fairly honestly...?

I'm not sure if I look it up, but I'm really skeptical...

 

 

 

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!

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

(Number of people infected nationwide) 49,621

+ (Number of hospital discharges )  1,061

+ (Number of hospital discharges ) 32,971

=15,589 people ← being treated

 

(If it is exactly as announced)

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

 

 

It was really hot today.

And it will be pretty hot tomorrow.

Looking around the city, an increasing number of people are wearing masks, but they are so hot that they almost don't wear them on their chin.

 

I can't say anything because heat stroke is worrisome when it's this heat, but be sure to take precautions to prevent infection, whether you're wearing a mask or not.

 

 

Please be very careful when you go out!
