On the first day of 2021, the first thing Japanese people turn on the TV in the morning is bad news…
“On 31 December 2020, 4,520 new cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Japan, a new single-day high since the outbreak began.”

It was also the first time that the number of new confirmed cases in Tokyo exceeded 1,000, directly reaching 1,337.
So far in Japan, there have been 235,752 confirmed cases and 3492 deaths…
And this data, or in the absence of large-scale viral nucleic acid testing.
Japan has the lowest total of the 100 million people in the developed world, with 4.38 million people tested so far, or just 4.7 percent of the population.

Perhaps spurred by the more than 20 million people now diagnosed in the United States, friends back home are losing their sense of the epidemic.
But Japan, it has to be said, is not looking good.
Mutated viruses from The UK and South Africa have already appeared in Japan and are likely to have spread.

In Recent weeks, the rate of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Japan has increased significantly.
Since The 26th, the number of new cases in a single day has reached a new high, rising day by day, much more serious than the first wave of the outbreak.

Tokyo, the worst-hit area, has about 3,500 hospital beds available. The government has called on medical institutions to increase the number of beds as much as possible to ensure the total reaches 4,000.
As of 29, the number of hospitalized patients has reached 2,274, and the number is increasing at a very fast rate.

To make matters worse, the treatment of medical workers in such harsh conditions has not improved, with monthly subsidies of only 14,000 yen (880 yuan).
In addition, a survey by the Japan Federation of Medical Unions showed that 20 percent of medical workers had experienced discrimination during the epidemic, such as being denied an appointment for a haircut or a child’s attendance at a kindergarten.
Dangerous working conditions, poor treatment, discrimination… Japan is facing a wave of health workers quitting their jobs.

Several factors add up, and the health care system in Japan’s worst areas is already strained.
If this trend continues, the health care system will be on the verge of collapse in less than two weeks.

The situation is serious, All walks of life in Japan have also called on people to abide by the epidemic prevention measures, asked everyone to stay at home quiet New Year, less parties.
The prime minister spoke, the government issued a warning, and even The governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Koike, said simply: “There are no holidays for the virus. Please keep your life as a priority and stay home.”
Public events have been cancelled and traditional New Year celebrations are not open, but… The Japanese people, however, did not stop partying.

Asakusa Temple in Japan traditionally rings 108 New Year bells to welcome in the New Year.
Fearing that the ringing of the bell would trigger a gathering, they switched it to live streaming and shut down 200 shops nearby…
But enthusiasm did not wane, with thousands of people lining the gates of Asakusji temple, waiting to enter the shrine after the live broadcast, and even holding mobile phones outside the gates to celebrate with the bells ringing.
Even more people went to Asakusa Temple than in previous years…

The same goes for Shibuya in Tokyo.

Dismissive of the government’s epidemic prevention policy, completely do not take the spread of the virus as one thing…
This degree of daredevil, really can only sigh with emotion, isolation can not save the Japanese.
Fortunately, the vaccine is out now, if really can be widely vaccinated, perhaps for Japan, also can be a solution.
But… Just yesterday in the news about the launch of a vaccine in China, the comments were mostly one-sided…

“Made in China? I started to wonder, who knows what this is. Even if Japan adopted it I would never get vaccinated, I just don’t believe it.”

“If it were 79 percent effective, China would say 99 percent. So now I’m saying that the actual efficiency must be 60% or less.
And 79, which is just below 80 percent, is thought-provoking.”

“The vaccine is very fast. After all, you made the virus yourselves. I have seen films with this kind of setting.”

“The rush to get vaccinated just means there are a lot of infected people in China.”
“Emergency use on medical staff since last July? I get it. It was widespread before then.”

For the Japanese government, this is likely to be a difficult situation.
Under previous plans, they hoped to vaccinate everyone in the first half of 2021, in time for the Olympics, at a rate of two-thirds to prevent transmission of the virus.
But early for China’s various bad publicity much more, the public to China’s vaccine acceptance is not high, things became awkward.

American Pfizer vaccine is of course very good, but the cost is high, the price of one is three times as much as ours.
Transportation conditions are very harsh, we need 70 degrees below zero storage transportation, we only need ordinary refrigerator storage.
On top of that, the supply of other vaccines is far less productive than in China…
Want to get Japan vaccinated right away? Yes, the order has been placed, but there are still lines in front of us, EU, Canada…

In a sense, this is shooting itself in the foot. The Japanese government has given itself a big problem:
How to control the epidemic before the Olympic Games?
Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga gave his New Year’s speech today
He stressed his continued full commitment to preventing the spread of COVID-19 and economic recovery, and demonstrated his determination to host the Summer Olympics and Paralympics in Tokyo.
He made it clear that he would host the Olympics this summer, and in order to realize the hosting of the Games, preparations have been made.

Of course, he says, because Japan is basically gambling on its own Olympic Games again.
Japan’s domestic economic recession, the whole society is filled with boredom and senility, aging fewer children… The problems add up, making them look forward to the Games.
A world pageant on its doorstep is sure to open up new opportunities to boost national pride and revive Japan’s economy.

Foreign media estimates put the cost of hosting the Tokyo Games at $25 billion, well above the original budget of $7.3 billion.
On March 23 last year, the organizing committee announced that the Games in Japan would be postponed until 2021.
But if the outbreak remains uncontrolled by 2021, it will be cancelled without further delay.

As a rule, tryouts will be held four months before the games start, so at the latest, in March, you need to determine whether the Games can be held as scheduled.
Japan has less than 100 days left to bring the outbreak under control.

In a survey by NHK, only 27 per cent of respondents backed the games next year, with 32 per cent supporting cancellation and 31 per cent further postponement.
But in Japan’s propaganda, officials remain adamant that the Games will be held safely, as a “symbol of humanity’s victory over the epidemic”.
(Before the postponement was announced last year, however, the government also asserted that it would never be delayed.)

Time is running out for Japan.
