And Tokyo is from August 3,

“Request to shorten business hours to restaurants that provide alcoholic beverages“

started!

東京都 酒提供の飲食店など きょうから営業時間短縮を要請 | NHKニュース

I hope this will reduce the number of infected people. ..

Even so, I think that the cooperation fee of “200,000 yen” is too small for a shop that is doing its best at high rent in Tokyo”.

I want the governmet to make it a little more like “everyone want to cooperate”.

Then I’m sure everyone will comply with the request. ..

In connection with this, Governor Koike today said,

“It is not good that the countermeasure period becomes long. I’m asking until the end of August”…

感染対策で営業時間短縮 都知事「長くなるのはよくない」 | NHKニュース

No… let’s do it until COVID-19 is controled…

↑And about this, it will be extended

from “until Aug 31″　→　to “until Sep 15”

In addition, it is said that it will be canceled in the Tama area and the island in 31 days, and only restaurants in 23 wards will be exetended.

OK, I understand that government want them to get home by the end of the last train. .. lol

…Joke aside,

Governor Koike says the reason is “the number of new infections is decreasing but still large”.

That’s true… There are still more than 200 people…

I don’t think it’s a problem if the government give them proper compensation but…

about compensation…,

It is said that the company that responds to the request will receive a cooperation fee of 150,000 yen.

OK, It’s just “10,000 yen a day”…

Does it mean that the shop closes at 10:00 pm is the last order at 21:00?

It’s 21:00 to 24:00 when it’s time to earn money…?

Financial resources may be tough, but I want the government to compensate properly.

This time, I would like COVID-19 to converge, so I wanted the gomernment to be the amount that everyone is convinced and will cooperate…

And in the article, the manager of an izakaya in Shinjuku said,

“It’s very tough to manage. If you want to extend only 23 wards, please explain the effect of shortening it properly.”

I think that both companies and sole proprietors are economically limited, so we really want to work together to get rid of the new coronavirus from Japan and the world.

By the way, at the izakaya in Shinjuku, sales are down by 2 hours and overall sales will drop by 30%,  so this month’s sales are down 80% compared to last year. ..

As many of you may already know, the news about the aftereffects of the “new coronavirus (COVID-19) infection” has increased again recently.

コロナ後遺症「なし」はわずか13％ – Yahoo!ニュース

コロナ後遺症の実態　退院後も疲労感や呼吸困難 – 日経Gooday 30+

Originally, news about this “aftereffects” began around July, observing the subsequent course of those who recovered after being infected by a hospital in Italy (you all know that the number of infected people in Italy has increased dramatically). The article published in the American Medical Association magazine was a hot topic!

Let’s summarize that information first!

◆Announcements of “Vatican Catholic University Hospital” in Rome◆

Two months after 143 patients who were hospitalized for “new coronavirus (COVID-19) infection” and then recovered and discharged

(* Average age of 56.5 years, about half of 66 people are treated with ventilator etc.)

(* Hospitalization period average 13.5 days)

(About 1 month after discharge)

・55% had 3 or more sequelae.

・44% felt that the quality of life had deteriorated.

[Sequelae]

・53%-Feeling tired

・43%-Breathing is difficult

・27%-Joint pain

・22%-My chest hurts

*Others such as taste disorders and olfactory disorders etc.

In China and France, it is reported that “Many patients with severe pneumonia due to a “new coronavirus (COVID-19) infection” have poor lung function even after recovering from pneumonia, and breathlessness or some symptom remain.”

By the way, SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) which became a hot topic in Japan around 2002 is also the same “Coronavirus“, but even after half a year from the onset of SARS,  after examining 110 people,

30% of the people still had an abnormality in their lungs after 6 months, and

20% said that their lung function had not yet recovered after two years…

And it is scary that 20% of people were suffering from psychological sequelae such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) two years later…

Even in the case of this “new coronavirus (COVID-19) infection”, there are some people who had their ventilators attached for a long period of time in the intensive care unit and who could not meet with their families for a long time to prevent infection, so there is concern about mental aftereffects.

By the way,

I searched for an article on “Sequelae in Japan”… I couldn’t find any detailed information…

回復して終わりではない新型コロナ　後遺症こそが大問題 – Yahoo!ニュース

As this article, there were a few articles about individual people who had “taste/smell disorder”. ..

But in Japan, we don’t really hear the “real voice” from the former infected person (even entertainers or SNS ) about the aftereffects, right? ?

What is the actual situation?

It would be nice if there were many people who did not become “severe,”

but I’m a little worried…

In any case, after all, “The best thing is not to get infected! “!

I’m sorry I posted a difficult story today. ..

However, if there is a person around you who’s carelessly enjoying “I’m okay with COVID-19 ~”, please tell that person…!

By the way,

新型コロナ マスク着用による感染予防の最新エビデンス

This is an article by Dr. Satoshi Kutsuna, who is a specialist in infectious diseases and is often introduced on my site, but he always makes graphs and diagrams so easy to understand. So, let me introduce a really easy-to-understand “three figures”!

*Hamster experiment to verify mask effect

*←infected hamster  /  not infected hamster→

*% = the percentage of infect

You can understand this in the moment when you see it!

(If you don’t care about being “cute” lol)

Really easy to understand the article of Dr. Kutsuna! 

And next one is…,

It’s a graph of “how much of an infected person likely infect the other people”!

(↑Infectious strength in the upper direction / → number of days after infection in the horizontal direction)

From this graph, you can see that,

・The infectiousness of both pre- and post-symptomatic people becomes maximal within 5 or 6 days after infection.

・Surprisingly, infectiousness is not strong among asymptomatic persons, only 5%.

・Only 10% of people are infected from the environment (such as from the handrail?).

And,

In this way, “new coronavirus (COVID-19)” seems to have the maximum infectivity during the incubation period before the onset…

The conclusion is, “Before onset, infected people don’t even know if they are infected or not, so anytime we have to be careful about preventing infection!”

(Number of people infected nationwide) 71,706

+ (Number of hospital discharges ) 1,365

+ (Number of hospital discharges ) 61,076

= 9,265 people ← being treated
