At the moment, in addition to the medical strain caused by the surge in patients, many nurses' family members are also suffering from the new crown so nurses are unable to show up for work, and even if there are beds available, they are unable to provide medical care. Some nurses have complained that the government's lack of reporting on the virus has given people the wrong impression. The front desk of the hospital is inundated with calls, but because of medical constraints they can only refuse patients to come to the hospital. They hope to bring back retired nurses to relieve the pressure on health care workers. The current number of beds was designed without taking into account the fact that healthcare workers would not be available, but the number of people suffering from the virus is huge, and the number of healthcare workers that were already scarce has become even scarcer due to the virus. Even if we increase the number of beds now, I'm afraid we won't even be able to reach the number of beds we originally designed. What is even more unfortunate is that the number of critically ill patients is still increasing, and because of the large number of elderly patients, even minor care is very difficult.
One, Japan is considered to be very developed in terms of medical resources, which all have a lot of medical squeeze. My daughter started to have a fever the night before yesterday and started contacting hospitals at noon yesterday. The most frequently visited hospitals were already full that day, while other hospitals made it clear that there had been a surge in fever inquiries lately, and that they would not receive them if they were not "regular customers". I had no choice but to lie that I had recently moved, and the nurse finally transferred the call to the director, who gave us the green light after hearing that our whole family had been infected in February this year, not only agreeing to come to the clinic, but also allowing us to come to the hospital to take the PCR test instead of taking it in the car! It still turned out to be positive and was sent back with a prescription for fever reducer and sore throat medication.
Daughter had been feverish all day, and the fever reducer would keep her temperature between 38 and 39 degrees for three hours, but then it would drift up to about 41 degrees three hours later. The good news is that the temperature went down this morning, so she's over the hump. Next up is the physical pain hurdle. My wife's throat was so sore she wanted to jump out of a building when she first got it, and today my daughter woke up and the first thing she said was "my throat hurts like hell". Thinking about the child will have to suffer for at least three days with a sore throat, tears in the eyes, I think some of you have seen the video of San Jin, my wife's throat pain in the first infection must be even worse than his, can not even make a sound, can not eat anything. Praying my daughter doesn't get it so bad this time.
Two, Japan's seventh wave of the virus is still heating up, with 126,576 new cases across Japan, the highest number of confirmed cases since the virus. Forty-eight new deaths have been reported. In the past week, there were 1,054,859 new cases across Japan, surpassing 1 million confirmed cases in a single week for the first time. Among them, Nara Prefecture continues to hit a new high of 2,134 cases. Tokyo, Japan reported 22,387 new cases today, recording over 20,000 confirmed cases for the sixth consecutive day. Meanwhile, the number of cases increased by nearly 10,000 from last Monday. The average number over the past 7 days has risen to 25,927. Occupancy of COVID-19 beds in Tokyo increased by 0.7 percentage points to 48.0%, while the use of intensive care beds also increased by 1.0 percentage points to 19.8%. Three other patients in their 80s and 90s died in Tokyo.
Three, Eri Kojima, chief of the health and prevention section at the Katsushika Ward Public **** Health Center in Tokyo, have been working. for several days in a row and could not take a weekend off. These health centers are responsible for issuing diagnostic certificates, coordinating hospitalization arrangements for confirmed patients, virus screening of close contacts, and caring for mildly ill patients recuperating at home. Children below elementary school level, hospitals and nursing homes with confirmed patients are to be investigated for the virus and close contacts are to be traced.? Eri Kojima explains that they receive at least 500 medical certificates from doctors every day, 30% of which are faxed from medical institutions, and health center staff have to enter them into the system one by one. If there are omissions or errors, the confirmor must be called to fill them in, which takes half an hour for one person. Primary care organizations are strapped for manpower, and the scene in Taiwan in mid-April seems to be recurring. After new confirmed cases gradually exceeded 1,000 in a single day, a large number of mildly ill and asymptomatic patients were transferred to home care, but administrative procedures such as precise viral adjustments, rectification, and isolation could not keep up, leading to a tragedy of confusing information and even delays in access to medical care.
Four, people in Japan. The company got together last Friday, and the guy sitting next to me had a fever the next day, and then tested positive. I didn't escape, and the fever started late. Then four hospitals near my home that I can walk to within half an hour's walk, I couldn't get through on the phone, and it was hard to get through, saying the symptoms and wanting to get a pcr test, but it turned out that they were all fully booked. I started calling as soon as I arrived and couldn't get through. I had no choice but to buy the test reagent online and it arrived today and I was positive. But the fever has gone down, and now I have a headache, sore throat, general weakness and all these symptoms, so I guess I have to recuperate for a few more days. I'm a young person who can survive, but many older people can't. Japan is very advanced in terms of medical resources. Japan is considered to be very developed medical resources, which have a lot of medical squeeze. People in Japan. At a company dinner, the guy sitting next to me had a fever the next day and tested positive. I also did not escape, began to fever. Then I can walk near my home to reach four hospitals within half an hour's walk, the phone can not be reached, it is hard to get through, said the symptoms, want to pcr test, the results have been fully booked.
