Hospitals say they are upholding high standards for patient care, but experts say surges compromise many normal medical practices.

Many hospitals in Tokyo, where new coronavirus case numbers have numbered over 1,000 for nine straight days, are refusing to admit patients. If you test positive for COVID-19 and fail to get into a hospital, then do you just wind up in jail? One wonders if the administration of Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga would just prefer people die behind bars rather than at home; it would make disposing of the bodies so much faster.

While we have confidence in Japan’s health care system today, we believe a significant increase in COVID-19 cases makes it difficult to predict how the system will be functioning in the coming weeks.  In the event of a spike in cases, U.S. citizens with pre-existing medical conditions may not be able to receive the medical care they have grown accustomed to in Japan prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. … [Read more...] about Japan Makes Saving Face a Priority Over Saving Lives
