I can't believe that there are some persons who put minus button on the comments hoping his recovery.

They have cold hearts.

Many foreigners suspect the death toll, however, our favorite Dr. Iwata said it is difficult to hide the deaths caused by the novel virus because the pneumonia deaths with unknown cause are checked strictly. (This is his opinion, so, I'm not sure whether it's correct or not.)

And the supporting rate of Abe is about 40% and there are so many enemies to him in Japan, including the doctors and nurses. If hiding something, they are willing to post it in SNS. But we can't find it.

Japan has to avoid the below situation. The death toll of US may be much higher than the official report.

It’s not just deaths in hospitals which are up. On an average day before this crisis there were 20-25 deaths at home in NYC. Now in the midst of this pandemic the number is 200-215. Every day.

If you feel danger, you should once evacuate from Japan to your countries after receiving JPY 300K.

I think that such report should be abolished in the near future, because it may generate racism. Foreigners helping Japan are very important. By the way, how about the other countries ? Do they make such report ?

Compared to Japanese criminals, both the numbers and percentages are significantly lower.

Like getting infected with the corona virus, I am more likely to be a victim if crime committed by a Japanese person than a foreigner.

Do you know the number of death toll by murder in Japan ? It's around 300 per year.

According to the article, 48 foreigners were investigated over murder. ( I'm not sure whether they were charged or not, finally.)

I think the number is not low.

Anyway, don't worry, foreigners in Japan.

Japan has the public livelihood assistance social aid system ultimately. More than 2 million people, including many foreigners, use the system.

Bad luck for foreigners working in Japan.

It has entered the second week of a four week lockdown here in New Zealand. But, foreign workers are being paid through Covid19 Wage Subsidy just like New Zealand residents.

You are very lucky, however, are there enough jobs that foreigners can work in New Zealand ?

I pray that good Americans will win the virus and will not die, especially poor homeless people.

Avigan (not vaccine), which was developed by a Japanese company, has been tested by China and Japan, and will be tested by Indonesia, Iran and Italy.  I hope it will succeed and save a lot of lives.

Your friend should post his/her situation through SNS and reveal the name of the hospital. Not revealing the name could be recognized as fake, unfortunately. (very sad)

It is obvious that the countries with medical meltdown cannot attend. Those countries should consider the patients rather than Olympic.

Armageddon is coming, and it will hit Japan like a sledgehammer in a few weeks.

I feel boring that someone continues saying it since late January.

By the way, is it your hope?

However, crowded trains with workers are much more terrible. Many Japanese underestimate the virus because of not catching it even in such circumstance. I hope the number of infections will not surge.

As usual, hospitals in Japan are very peaceful with few patients.

By the way, more than 70% of patients of DM have already been recovered at 6 pm on March 18.

Infected : 712

Recovered : 551

If possible, spring or autumn in 2021 is much better. Ms.Ikee will be able to revive.

Before criticizing this measures, everyone should check the current situation of your countries. Unfortunately, most countries are in terrible situation.

Is it right that the novel coronavirus called “Boomer Remover” in Europe?

If so, it’s very sad.

I hope that Japan (or China) sends this medicine to Italy, Iran and other countries without any compensation as soon as possible.

FYI

Suicide rate per 100,000 population

Japan : 16.0 in 2019

USA : 15.3 in 2016

Germany : 13.6 in 2016

Death vs Recovery :

China 3,169 vs 62,801 Italy 827 vs 1,045 Iran 354 vs 2,959 S Korea 66 vs 333 France 48 vs 12

Spain 55 vs 183 Germany 3 vs 25 USA 38 vs 15 Diamond Princess 7 vs 357 Switzerland 4 vs 4

Japan 15 vs 118

I think that Japan has done well for recovery so far, including Diamond Princess. Recovery rate of DP passed 50%.

I agee on your opinion, because the hospitals in Japan are very vacant. This year, flu patients are much less than ever. However, some Japanese worry that normal persons are infected at the hospitals due to gathering of people.

I am sorry to be late, because I forgot my posting at all. Please find my data in the attached. However, the second one was issued in Japanese language, I am sorry.

The man was not Japanese, NHK said, without giving details of his nationality or age. 

His/her nationality is Hong Kong, according to a government report issued yesterday.

Statics on March 7 show 7 deaths and 245 recoveries. 7 deaths is very sad but 1/3 has already recovered fortunately.

sparked international criticism

Some Japanese are laughing at "international criticism" after pandemic in other countries and knowing that most infections in Diamond Princess occurred before its reaching to Yokohama.

However, everyone knows Japan is much safer than other countries for children.

What a peaceful country Japan is. Even such a small trouble was picked up by Japan Today.

If possible, please reduce the number of shaking hands and kiss.

Ah so

I am very sorry. I have no intention to get you angry. If you read the comments in 5ch, you can find a lot of critisism of NYT, easily. But I admit they may be supporters of the government.

I was very surprised that diagnosis tests are not so reliable based on an interview with a Japanese specialist. She said it was because the quantity of new virus is very little, comparing with normal flu. I always hope foreigners can read the news of Japanese language. Otherwise, the Japanese government should send messages translated into English as much as possible.

Very, very unfortunately, many Japanese distrust NYT as well as the supporers of President Trump, because they believe NYT often provides fake news or one side opinion.
