According to the Observer.com report, a teenage Japanese boy was transferred to many hospitals after being infected with the new crown and was rejected. Although he finally found a hospital for treatment, due to delays Sadly passed away due to treatment. Once this incident was reported, it caused quite a stir among the Japanese people.
The medical system that Japan has been proud of for a long time has been completely paralyzed under the impact of the new crown epidemic. However, the highly infectious Omicron has a new variant, which means that the situation of the new crown epidemic in Japan will become more severe.
A new variant of Omicron appears, but Japan cannot control the “poison source”
< /p>
According to the latest research results from the University of Tokyo, Japan, a new variant strain of Omicron, named as the BA.2 subtype variant strain, has appeared. It spreads 30% faster than the traditional Omicron BA.1 strain, and has a greater probability of causing severe illness, thereby increasing the mortality rate after infection. It has been found in 74 countries, of which the United States has become the hardest hit by this variant. The variant has been found in 47 of the 50 U.S. states.
However, until now, the US military stationed in Japan can still enter and exit Japan unimpeded. Even if U.S. soldiers are infected with the mutant strain, the local people in Japan have no ability to prevent U.S. soldiers from infecting the Japanese people with the mutant strain of Omicron.
In other words, Japan simply has no ability to control the “virus source” of the US military stationed in Japan. As a result, the current number of confirmed diagnoses announced by Japan has hit new highs one after another. In fact, a large amount of data that has not been imported, such a large number of infected people, is enough to overwhelm the Japanese medical system.
Japan has a humanitarian “disaster”, and the new crown may be “downgraded”
Faced with the out of control of the new crown epidemic, the Japanese government is not thinking about how to prevent the spread of the new crown epidemic. On the contrary, there are proposals to downgrade the new crown epidemic to influenza, which would not only alleviate the risk of collapse of the Japanese health center system, but also free up some medical resources.
However, Japanese experts also raised objections. Once the new crown is downgraded to influenza, the Japanese people will no longer be eligible to fully pay for treatment at public expense. At that time, even Japanese people who are insured will have to pay 30% of the treatment costs. As for those Japanese who do not have official jobs, they will not be able to afford the cost of new crown treatment, and the severely ill patients can even “wait to die” at home. At that time, there will be a humanitarian “disaster” in Japan.
It has to be said that today Japan is paying a heavy price for the loopholes in the prevention of the new crown epidemic. Previously, proud medical care was being tested by reality.
