Suicide rate increased
From the beginning of the year until now, the situation for Covid-19 has become increasingly complicated. The economy is seriously affected, especially food and entertainment companies.
On the night of April 30, police in the Nerima district of Tokyo confirmed that a restaurant owner had died. The reason was that the man committed suicide because the store had to close for a long time due to the Covid-19 epidemic.
Japan is a country with a high suicide rate in the region and the world. In this Covid-19 crash, the country is concerned that suicide cases like men are on the rise.
According to research by Professor Fujii of Kyoto University, the domestic situation after the epidemic is pessimistic, with a sharp drop in economic growth, and the number of unemployed and suicides from economic activities stagnated.
Japan’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2020 will decrease by 14.2%, the unemployment rate will range between 6 and 8.4%. The number of suicides is likely to increase to almost 40,000. All optimistic indicators decreased.
According to the Police Department and the Ministry of Health and Labor, the highest number of suicidal people in Japan’s history was in 2003 with 34,427 people. The epidemic situation if prolonged, this number will be difficult to imagine.
The hospital rejected the patient.
Hospitals are the place of greatest hope for patients. But in the context of the rapid increase in the number of infected people, collective infection often occurs in hospitals themselves, so the overloaded hospital has been unable to accept patients, especially patients with symptoms of viral infection. .
NHK data cited by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government said that during the period April 1-18, about 1,390 emergency patients suspected of being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus had been from five or more hospitals. You may refuse or must wait more than 20 minutes to seek emergency medical attention. This situation is 4 times more than normal, when only about 20 of these cases occur every day. Even one patient was denied 110 medical facilities. This is a surprisingly large number and almost none of these cases.
Dr. Harada Fumiue works at a clinic in Tokyo. He periodically visits an 80-year-old man home on the morning of April 10. The patient did not have a fever but was dehydrated and did not want to eat or drink. Dr. Harada decided to take her to a nearby hospital where she used to undergo surgery. He was diagnosed with a viral infection and was immediately quarantined, he is expected to be admitted to a hospital for treatment. But almost all hospitals refused. Almost 1 day after he was admitted to a hospital for treatment. But this is still a lucky case.
The health system faces the risk of collapse
Across Japan, there are around 11,000 patient beds equipped to care for patients with Covid-19. The total number of hospitalized patients is at least 6,600.
According to NHK data, 6 provinces have reported that more than 80% of their beds are closed. Among them are Tokyo, Osaka, Hyogo and Ishikawa, where the government defines as “special alert provinces”. The other two provinces are Kyoto and Okinawa.
Provincial authorities are concerned about the shortage of medical masks and other personal protective equipment, as well as the lack of health workers. In particular, many hospitals in Tokyo are turning into an outbreak with dozens of infected doctors and nurses.
Therefore, in order to increase the ability of hospital patients to receive critically ill patients, the Tokyo government has begun transferring patients who tested positive for the virus, but who have only mild symptoms or no symptoms. hotel. Here, nurses are on call 24 hours a day, and a doctor watches over patients during the day. But there have been severe cases and difficult handling in time, ensuring life.
More than 90% of infected patients in Tokyo hospitalized without severe symptoms.
In other towns like Hokkaido, Osaka, Kanagawa … the hospital system has also been overloaded. Calls to the hospital gradually increased, but hospital admission was not easy, either. Japanese experts are concerned that the collapse of the health system will reach the nearest stage without firm measures.
The government put all its efforts against the epidemic.
To combat the epidemic, the government of Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo put all its efforts. First, a state of emergency is being implemented due to the Covid-19 epidemic across the country. It is expected that 5/5 will end and it will immediately last 1 more month.
Prime Minister Abe said Japan’s health system is currently in a very stressful state. He urged people to take preventative measures and make efforts to reduce social exposure by 80% to ease the burden and protect lives.
In addition, the Government of Japan has provided free masks, and it is expected that in May and June 2020, assistance will be awarded to each person of 100,000 yen (equivalent to VND 20 million). For companies, the government has repeatedly launched trillion dong support packages to maintain production for small and medium-sized companies. In each locality, each business that stops producing will receive a support amount of 300,000-500,000 Yen, depending on the financial capacity of that locality. In addition, the bank also lowered interest rates, extending the maturity of the companies.
The Japanese also work closely with the government when they are away from home, to reduce the spread of the infection. This is a stressful period of the epidemic, along with people’s efforts, the disease will be controlled, life will be peaceful again.
