The number of new infections in Tokyo did not exceed 400 today on Saturday...

 

First of all, I will summarize

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

 

 

Out of [385] new infections in Tokyo

 

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

 

[204] people is in their 20s to 30s

  (about 53% of the total)

[103] people is in their 40s to 50s

  (about 27% of the total)

 

 [7] people is

  in 『the entertainment district at night』

  →Employees and guests such as host clubs and cabaret clubs


Infection at home [64] people

Infection at office [17] people

Infection at a dinner with friends and acquaintances [14] people

Infection in the facility [10] people

 

A person who was found to have been infected after receiving a notification from rich contact confirmation application "COCOA" [2] people

 

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

Number of hospitalized : 1541 ( -19)

Number of seriously ill :  23 ( -1)

Home medical treatment : 679 ( +34)

Hotel medical treatment : 272 ( -34

Adjusting for "hospitalization or hotel or home treatment" : 1028 ( +35)

People discharged from hospital or

those who have completed medical treatment at home:13,596 ( +322)

 *( )= increse  from the day before

 

Net increase in infected people in Tokyo

 = (Number of new infections)

   - (Number of people who completed medical treatment)

 = 385 - 322

 = +63

 

*Tokyo currently has 6 facilities for infected people

 (Capacity of 2400 people)

 

* A hospital in Tokyo has secured 2300 beds (+100 beds for critically ill patients).

 → Aim to secure 2,700 beds.

* In addition, we will open two specialized hospitals from September to October, and plan to add another 200 beds.

*One hotel will open on August 17th.

 

*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 [136] people

   (about 35% of the total)

Unknown infection route [248] people

    (about 64% of the total)

 

Quarantine at the airport

  Arriving at Narita/Kansai Airport

    →Men from the US and Malaysia [4] people

    →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...

 

 

 
I posted it in Aichi prefecture

 

*** Aichi ***

   →University student returning from Aichi prefecture to Nagano prefecture [1] person

      *Counted in Nagano Prefecture

 

After all, I think that some people went their parent's home during the Obon season or went on a trip, so I'm a little worried about how far it spreads the infection.

 

 

And today's news,

ホストクラブで「クラスター」…「無職」と申告、対応に遅れ(読売新聞)

Although it was a mass infection of a host club in Maebashi City, the infection was spread because the first infected male declared ”unemployed” to hide the fact that he was a host.

The investigation was delayed because of a false report.

 

It seems that some host club are instructing them to say, “If you get infected, say “unemployed!” ”. ..

 

 

 

From here on, I am really sorry that I have posted a long-term summary every day, but since it is important, let me post it today...!

 

I will write a separate article tomorrow or the day after tomorrow...! 

 

The topic of vaccines!

 

 

I'm glad to be able to talk about vaccines!

Actually it's not about the world's fastest developing vaccine from Oxford university and AstraZeneca (this vaccine is my personally recomend !), but it was jointly developed by the two companies, "Pfizer" in America and "Biontech" in Germany, which Japan had the first supply contract with. Results of early-stage efficacy of clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccine have been announced!

ファイザーなど 開発中ワクチンで「抗体」量上昇を確認と発表 | NHKニュース

As a result of a clinical study conducted in 45 people aged 18 to 55 years, 21 days after vaccination, antibodies were detected in the blood of all people, and the amount of neutralizing antibodies that weaken the movement of the virus also increased!!

 

Neutralizing antibodies were 1.9 to 4.6 times as many as those who were infected and recovered...

 

By the way, more than half of the vaccinated people had headaches, but no serious health effects were reported.

The vaccine si also in the final stage of clinical trials, and will be approved for approval as early as October!

 

 


What I'm worried in this article is that

"The Japanese government has agreed to be supplied 60 million people by the end of June next year."

 

June next year...?

 

too late….

 

But let's hope that this is also a special case of COVID-19 and it will be faster!

 

 

Anyway, as with COVID-19 vaccines from Oxford University and AstraZeneca, it seems that there are the same side effects as headaches.

I heard that it had no serious effect on health, so it's just a slight headache or something.

 

Thinking so, is this "Pfizer" vaccine and "Oxford University and AstraZeneca" vaccine almost the same in terms of their effects and side effects?

 

If so, the vaccine of Oxford University announced the same early-stage effect on July 21st last month, so it seems that it will come out to the world about a month earlier.

 

 

Everyone, next month!

I want them to reach Japan really quickly!

 

Related to above topic,

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

Unexpectedly, there are many people who do not know yet, so please let me know if there are people who do not know nearby! ↓

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!

 

 

"Time of disappearance of COVID-19 in each material", but it seems that there are many people who do not know it yet. ..

 

I was surprised when an acquaintance told me today that "Corona is okay in four or five hours"...

 

That's not the case!

 

Depending on the material, COVID-19 may continue to live for several days, so please be sure to obtain the correct information and be careful!

 

And tell the people around you...

 

 

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

 

(Number of people infected nationwide) 55,905

+ (Number of hospital discharges ) 1106

+ (Number of hospital discharges ) 39,604

=15,195 people ← being treated

 

(If it is exactly as announced)

Nearly 200 people have decreased! !!

 

 

Today is Saturday, so the weekly total of infected people in "COVID-19 Trend Calendar in Tokyo" that I always post at the bottom has been calculated.

 の一週間の集計が出ましたが

f:id:acertainfox512:20200815230918p:plain

Finally! It has decreased from the previous week!

 

However, there are consecutive holidays and Obon this week, so we have to pay attention to next week.

 

 

 

Please be very careful when you go out!
