Japan has low incidence of tuberculosis for 1st time

Bronco,let it go,TB with COVID

Those born outside of Japan have been making up a larger group each year, accounting for 11.4 percent in 2021. The growing trend has prompted the ministry to prepare to introduce relevant medical checks before entry into the country.

Exactly the same in the UK, except the the UK believes this would be discrimination so no checks needed.

There are cases of people with incurable TB. All the people I know who had TB were Japanese. Several were restaurant owners but TB bans them from that.

Japan has joined countries with a "low incidence of tuberculosis" for the first time with less than 10 TB patients per 100,000 people diagnosed in 2021, the health ministry said.

A big part has been the quasi-zero civid policy, which limited human contact, and the use of masks by the Japanese, which was recommended by medical professionals and authorities at the outbreak of the Covid crisis, in contrast to the misguided advice by The Who to not wear masks.

The WHO is also admittedly behind in its global efforts to decrease overall tuberculosis cases.

A big part has been the quasi-zero civid policy, which limited human contact, and the use of masks by the Japanese, which was recommended by medical professionals and authorities at the outbreak of the Covid crisis, in contrast to the misguided advice by The Who to not wear masks.

No contrast at all, the recommendation was for symptomatic patients to wear masks, and for them to be prioritized to hospitals and places dealing with this kind of patients, which is what was evidence at the moment indicated was the correct advice. The same advice was done by multiple other health care authorities in the world, not just WHO, the global authority on health matters.

The benefit of the recommendations, not only for covid but also for TB, is because they are done exclusively once they have been proved scientifically, which is why they can be trusted. Pretending that scientific authorities should recommend something for which they had no evidence of efficacy is deeply antiscientific and would be counterproductive.

Japanese hospitals look a lot like community centers / hotels catering especially to the elderly. The hospitals don’t seem very well equipped to deal with contagious diseases, and are thus worried about deadly outbreaks sweeping through and taking the lives of their less serious patients.

TB became drug resistant.

The same advice was done by multiple other health care authorities in the world, not just WHO, the global authority on health matters.

Multiple? But you list zero. In other words, it is just your unsubstantiated, opinion.

Here is the CDC, a true global health authority, giving correct advice, while the WHO agency mistakenly continued to give wrong advice:

It conflicts with your conspiracy theory of which you show no source, other than your imagination..

Multiple? But you list zero. In other words, it is just your unsubstantiated, opinion.

You have been repeatedly debunked by many references, for example on this news article

https://japantoday.com/category/national/who-director-in-asia-accused-of-racism-abuse-put-on-leave#comment-3211124

You have never provided any reference that proves the advice from the WHO (nor CDC, EMA, etc.) was wrong at the beginning of the pandemic, this advice changed only after months of evidence was collected during the pandemic.

See above link for the correct version of facts.

That version still completely contradict your comment. The CDC was giving the same advice up to a few days before the article in April of 2020, so according to you they (and every other major authorities) were "mistaken" all that time just because they could not access data from the future, which is obviously nonsense.

There is nothing strange with an agency collecting information from only one country to change recommendations a few days before the global authority could do the same, precisely because since the WHO is an organization in a global scale it has to collect information from more than one country.

 conflicts with your conspiracy theory of which you show no source, other than your imagination

What conspiracy? there is no need for any conspiracy to demonstrate it is wrong to expect scientific authorities to make recommendations without the necessary evidence, At this point it is just you the one repeating this mistaken argument, no conspiracy about it.

In 2020 UK had 7.3 per 100,000. 78% of which were in people born outside the UK. Mainly from South east Asia and Africa. Gov.uk figures.

"A big part has been the quasi-zero civid policy,"

What is the quasi-zero civid policy?

What is the quasi-zero civid policy?

Nothing, it is just an attempt to attribute a benefit from the measures taken in Japan to the zero covid policy of China when it should be obvious the Japanese never implemented anything that could be compared to it, even when it was actually useful in 2020.

Everyone is getting Covid tests and that is the reason why.

Exactly the same in the UK, except the the UK believes this would be discrimination so no checks needed.

Seems there's a check even if UK believes it's discrimination

Overview

You’ll need to have a tuberculosis (TB) test if you’re coming to the UK for more than 6 months and are resident in any of these listed countries.

You’ll be given a chest x-ray to test for TB. If the result of the x-ray is not clear you may also be asked to give a sputum sample (phlegm coughed up from your lungs).

If your test shows that you do not have TB, you’ll be given a certificate which is valid for 6 months from the date of your x-ray. Include this certificate with your UK visa application
