As the medical system in Osaka continues to be in a critical situation due to the spread of the new corona infection, a doctor at a hospital in Izumisano City, which accepts new corona patients, said on the 6th that Osaka Prefecture decided to request an extension of the emergency declaration. "Of course, it should be extended," he said. "The number of critically ill patients will continue to increase for the next two weeks, and the medical system will continue to be tight," he said.
The Rinku General Medical Center in Izumisano, Osaka, has secured 15 beds for critically ill patients and 28 beds for moderately ill patients with the new corona, and is accepting a large number of patients.
Masaya Yai, director of the Infectious Diseases Center, who is a doctor who treats patients and is a member of the expert meeting of the prefecture, said, "Even during the Golden Week holidays, we continue to accept 3 to 4 patients every day, and the severely ill beds are full. In addition, we are treating two patients who are seriously ill even in a moderately ill bed. Patients who are already severely ill or near severely ill are being hospitalized more and more, and the situation has changed. No, "he said, recognizing that the crisis is still going on.
Regarding the situation of newly infected people, "The effect of the state of emergency is not seen until about two weeks, but I do not realize the effect in the field. The number of infected people in the prefecture has increased to 1000 in the last few days. Although it was cut off, it is expected that the number of patients who will become severely ill will continue for the next two weeks, so I think that the tightness of the medical system will continue, "he said.
On the 6th, Osaka Prefecture acknowledged that it should be extended under the current strict medical system when it decided to request an extension of the state of emergency.
Regarding the deadline, he said, "Since the current medical system in Osaka is far beyond the number of people who can accept critically ill patients, the extension of the declaration should not be decided by the period of" 2 weeks "and" 4 weeks "." He said that the declaration should be extended until the number of critically ill patients, which currently exceeds 400, falls below 30, considering the medical system of Osaka Prefecture.
"I am strongly concerned that if the mutant virus found in India is released in an inadequate situation without knowing what will happen in the future, the number of infected people will increase rapidly immediately after the release, and the third wave will be repeated. I would like you to fully consider and judge the harsh situation in which your life cannot be saved. "
"Now, in Osaka, even if you are infected with corona, you cannot be hospitalized so easily, and other than that, for example, if you are injured in a myocardial infarction, stroke, or a traffic accident, you cannot be easily hospitalized. I would like to ask the citizens of the prefecture to understand that Osaka is being driven to that extent, and strongly ask for your cooperation so that you do not go out unnecessarily and urgently.
