The number of infected people in Tokyo is…
Today’s numbers are less than last week, but last week’s day was the second day after the consecutive holidays…

 

It seems that the consecutive holidays had a lot to do with that, so to be honest, last week’s numbers don’t seem to be very helpful…

 

 

 

Meanwhile… How about the amount of people in the city in Tokyo…↓

(Around 15:00 today, Shibuya Scramble Crossing, Tokyo)

 

 

Well, I will summarize

the breakdown of the number of new infections in Tokyo + α …!

*Since the number of new infections in Tokyo seems to be almost the number of the previous day,

(Because the deadline for the number of new infections on the day is from 9:00 am the day before to 9:00 am on the day)

 

 

And also today, I will summarize some prefectures that have a high number of infected people, not just in the Tokyo area.

 

 

*** Saitama ***

New infections are [1916] people (*Max of up to yesterday=13991 *2022/08/05)

 

(Individual infection information)

 ・It seems that clusters have been confirmed in a total of [5] locations

 


 

*** Kanagawa ***

New infections are [(2221)] people (*Max of up to yesterday=16551 *2022/07/27)

 

(Individual infection information)

 ・It seems that clusters have been confirmed in a total of [2+] locations

 

 ・Including [?] people newly issued voluntary medical care notifications, the total number of new infections is [?] people.
 (*Click here for information on the “voluntary medical treatment report” → from the summary article on August 23)

   →”The numbers announced by Kanagawa were unreliable even before the Limitation of targets for notifiable disease surveillance was applied, but it seems that even those numbers are no longer announced due to it.

 


 

*** Chiba ***

New infections are [1511] people (*Max of up to yesterday=11776 *2022/07/28)

 

(Individual infection information)

 ・It seems that new clusters have been confirmed in a total of  [3] locations

 


 

* In addition, the number of infected people in each prefecture at the present time (19:00) seems to be like this! ↓

 

(*Since “Limitation of targets for notifiable disease surveillance” (September 26th), the figures announced by each prefecture have changed to those announced by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare)
(*The number of infected people in airport quarantine is now added to the figures for the prefecture where the airport is located)

<Summary of today’s “Major News Related to COVID-19 in Japan”>

 

 

 

Come to think of it, there was a feature article on NHK about what happened after Japan’s measures against infectious diseases were practically abolished on October 11, so today I’m going to introduce you to all of them!

The following two were mainly applied on October 11th.

“Limitation of targets for notifiable disease surveillance”…The government will bear 40% of the travel fee in order to stimulate domestic travel.
“Substantial elimination of border measures” … Resumption of “personal travel” entry for foreigners, and complete elimination of restrictions on the number of immigrants

 

As a result, the Japanese economy seems to be improving considerably…!

 

For example, at an electronics store in Akihabara, Tokyo, last week’s sales seem to have tripled from the previous year!
In addition, it seems that reservations are steadily coming in at guesthouses for foreigners in Shinjuku, Tokyo!

 

“For foreigners, the depreciation of the yen is so great that traveling and shopping in Japan is super affordable!”

 

However, an electronics retailer in Akihabara said, “Only about 30% of foreigners have returned to Japan before the spread of the infection,” and tourists from China and South Korea have yet to return.

In short, they want the “BAKUGAI foreigners” who were often talked about on TV and in the news for a while to come back soon!
(*BAKUGAI foreigners = people who travel to Japan and do an extraordinary amount of shopping)

 


 

And in relation to the “national travel support”, it is often said on TV, news, and SNS that “hotels and inns nationwide are taking advantage of price increases!”
I think that the cause is that some unscrupulous hotels “cancelled all reserved reservations without permission and increased the price considerably when reselling”…

 

However, as you all know, hotels and ryokan are the most expensive on Saturdays and holidays, and on Sundays and Mondays, the prices are half or less, so I’m sure there are many people who think, “What are you making a fuss about?”… (dry laugh)

 

 

 

 


 

↓ In addition, there was such an article! ↓

(* There was no other news I would like to introduce today)

 


 

 

 


 

And this article↓

How long time the materials such as paper, cloth, plastic, etc. need to eliminating the risk when coronavirus is attached, and how effective disinfection is.
If you are interested, please take a look!

 


 

 

And here’s a trial calculation of how many people in Japan are actually receiving medical treatment.

   

 

 

 


 

By the way, I’m going off the track quite a bit, but how cheap is Japan for foreign tourists now?

 

(*みんかぶFX)

 

The world is taking more and more financial measures, but Japan does not take any measures at all, so the so-called “yen depreciation” is progressing insanely

 

For example, “USDJPY” has changed by nearly 30% since 2022, as shown in the image above.
(* 1 dollar is about 110 yen → about 150 yen)

 

Specifically, when an American travels to Japan and tries to convert 1 dollar into Japanese yen,

(Around January 2022) 1 dollar = 110 yen → If you exchange 1 dollar, you will receive 110 yen
(around October 2022) 1 dollar = 150 yen → If you try to exchange 1 dollar, you will also get 150 yen! (!)

↑↑We can understand why Japan is ridiculously cheap right now…(dry laugh)

 

 

Well, if the number of foreign tourists goes back to what it used to be, will Japan’s economy improve tremendously? !

 

 

 

 

 

Please be careful when you go out!
