What are the shortcomings of medical equipment in COVID-19?

Japan's medical level is in the forefront of the world. In the face of the COVID-19 epidemic, why are their hospitals facing difficult challenges? The reasons are more complicated, which are explained in several aspects for your reference:

First, novel coronavirus is a new virus, which needs a comprehensive study by the medical community:

During the Spring Festival this year, there was an epidemic in novel coronavirus, and the China government implemented very effective measures, thus completely stopping the epidemic in China. Now China has basically recovered, the novel coronavirus epidemic has been completely controlled, and the lives of ordinary people have gradually begun to get on the right track. However, the novel coronavirus epidemic is getting worse all over the world, with Japan bearing the brunt and being greatly challenged. The medical level in Japan is really good, but it should be noted that the Japanese medical community has not done any research on novel coronavirus. They need to know novel coronavirus, not have experience in the past, and can be treated directly. This is a difficult problem for Japanese medical circles, so they think that the novel coronavirus epidemic is their challenge. This is an objective fact, and it is the same all over the world.

Second, the Japanese response to the novel coronavirus epidemic was relatively slow:

As a matter of fact, the Japanese government and medical circles are lagging behind in their views on the novel coronavirus epidemic, because they have not paid enough attention to it and made many medical preparations. Therefore, after the novel coronavirus epidemic in Japan became more serious, they began to find that Japanese hospitals were completely unprepared, which led to many difficulties faced by hospitals and inadequate preparation of medical staff. This is a big problem they face.

Third, the hospital equipment is insufficient, causing difficulties:

Novel coronavirus epidemic is a brand-new virus, and the cause has not been determined. Therefore, Japan did not prepare for related medical production in advance. Therefore, the lack of medical equipment in novel coronavirus now makes hospitals very embarrassed.
