The minister of HLW today tightened the condition of hospitalization saying those with precedent illnesses should be excluded from hospitalization.
The patients with moderate severity should stay at home cared by family members. According to the definition of moderate severity by MHLW, it includes respiratory insufficiency requiring oxygen administration.
Respiratory failure due to pneumonia is a real harsh condition for a patient. Within the range of a few hours, COVID19 could deteriorate to fatal condition with cytokine storm. The patient could fall fatally sick. How could the family members care for such a patient. The anxiety he/she has due to respitatory failure and expectation of that aggravation is above our imagination.
What The PM and the Minister of HLW told is that the medical system won't function any longer and they will be abandoned by the government.
There is a sharp rise of trajectory of the infected cases. The situation is getting worse day by day. The vaccination is not progressed compared with the other developed countries. It seems not to be the gamechanger as well.
Some people try to convince themselves that the mortality rate is still so low that it won't be a serious issue. They don't know the increase of the dead cases follow that of severe cases. They also omit the problem of long COVID, which is developed by 30 to 50% of the patients irrespective of their severity. The latter is increasing steadily since the end of last month. The others are enjoying the Olympic game not paying attention to this critical situation. They seem as if drunken with "this circus". The government won't discontinue the Olympic games even though there are about 20 infected cases found in the personnel. Even though the Olympic games would work as a deteriorating factor to the pandemic.
The people is abandoned here while most of them are not aware of that.
What will happen next to our country? What a mess!
