Female celebrities are quickly hospitalized when they are diagnosed with the new crown, but ordinary people can only "wait for death" at home?

Recently, the famous Japanese actor Haruka Ayase was quickly sent to the hospital for treatment after being diagnosed with new crown pneumonia. In stark contrast, many confirmed japanese people have been forced to recuperate at home, during which cases of deaths due to extremely worsening conditions have occurred from time to time; and there have even been cases of severe patients with breathing difficulties asking for help late at night, but nearly 100 medical institutions have refused.

The huge inequality has aroused the anger of many Japanese people. Many people pointed their fingers at Haruka Ayase and angrily criticized: "High-class citizens are given priority in hospitalization, and ordinary people cannot be hospitalized if they want to." "It's really unfair that celebrities can be hospitalized." Some people also said that Haruka Ayase was innocent, and that what should really be condemned was the Japanese government and the unequal medical reality.

This sentiment has aroused the resonance of many Japanese netizens, and many people have been unable to suppress the anger in their hearts, and have spoken out one after another, calling out injustice.

"Why can a star be hospitalized? There should be many people who want to be hospitalized and can't live, and can only endure pain alone. ”

"It's so unfair that the star is hospitalized. Compared with ordinary people, health care centers have given priority to female stars who can make more money, and we ordinary people have been abandoned. ”

"In Tokyo, even people with moderate symptoms have to recuperate at home. The same is a moderate symptom, but the star artist can be immediately hospitalized. ”

Others say Haruka Ayase is innocent, pointing the finger at the Japanese government and Japan's unequal medical reality.

"Although Haruka Ayase is innocent, I can feel the gap between those who can be hospitalized and those who cannot. Can't the state prepare facilities such as field hospitals to house people who need to be hospitalized? ”

"Japan is as polarized as the United States. It wasn't Haruka Ayase's fault. It is the fault of the law that inferior citizens pay a lot of medical insurance but cannot go to the hospital. ”

"Why is it only in the news now?" Pregnant women who died at home before, young men in their 20s who lived alone, they also want to be hospitalized. This time, I understand better than Haruka Ayase what medical inequality is. ”

According to previous reports, affected by the "fifth wave" of the epidemic, since the opening of the Tokyo Olympic Games in Japan, the number of new confirmed cases in the country has risen all the way, the medical supply system has been urgent, and the medical system is close to collapse. According to an analysis by an expert organization in Japan that studies COVID-19 countermeasures, the current situation on the front line of medical care in Japan is "close to the disaster situation." ”

In order to alleviate the pressure on the medical system, all parts of Japan have tightened the criteria for hospitalization of COVID-19 patients: except for special circumstances and patients with severe illness and high risk of severe illness, "COVID-19 patients who have received medical measures such as oxygen and infusion have 'hope of recovery'" need to be recuperated at home.

With the implementation of this policy, the number of home care patients across Japan has soared.

The Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) reported on August 28 that as of August 25, the number of people recuperating at home after the diagnosis of new crown in Japan was more than 118,000, exceeding 100,000 for the first time, the largest in history. This figure is more than 6 times that of the number of people in home nursing a month ago.

The number of people in home recuperation has soared, and there are more and more cases of death due to the sharp deterioration of the condition during the convalescence period, and the "pregnant women who died at home" and "young men living alone in their 20s" mentioned by Japanese netizens are typical cases of death in home convalescence.

Japanese media "Yomiuri Shimbun" reported on August 19 that a pregnant woman in her 30s in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, was diagnosed with new crown pneumonia, although she had symptoms of fever and cough, but it was a mild disease and could only be recuperated at home.

On the morning of the 17th, the pregnant woman's abdomen was swollen and bleeding, and after confirming her condition, the Chiba Prefectural Health Center entrusted the medical structure in the jurisdiction to accept the patient, but the reply was "cannot be received" In desperation, the pregnant woman had to give birth at home. At 5:15 p.m. that day, the newborn was born, but soon died of hypothermia.

Also in Chiba Prefecture, a man in his 20s had a fever of 40 degrees in mid-August, and after the diagnosis of covid-19 on August 17, doctors believed that the man's overall condition had not deteriorated significantly and that he did not suffer from underlying medical conditions, so he decided that he should be recuperated at home and "there was no need to be hospitalized."

However, the day after the diagnosis (18 August), the man died. According to the report, the cause of his death should be new crown pneumonia.

A few days ago, a video attracted the attention of netizens in China and Japan.

In the video, a Japanese patient recuperating at home is in a worse condition, but his hospital repeatedly refuses his hospitalization request. The doctor's family said: "There are too many patients, and it is a reality that it is impossible to be hospitalized. I'm afraid there are many patients like this who have nowhere to go..."

The patient's family asked, "What else can be done?" The doctor replied, "There's no way." ”

Japan's TBS TV reported on August 2 that a man in his 50s in Tokyo, Japan, asked for help from a medical institution late at night, saying that he was infected with the new crown and was already in a state of breathing difficulties. The emergency team took the patient to the hospital, but about 100 medical institutions refused on the grounds that the facilities were incomplete.

It wasn't until eight hours into the early hours of the next morning that the patient was admitted to a hospital about 50 kilometers from home.

It is worth mentioning that it is not the first time that a Japanese "superior citizen" like Haruka Ayase was hospitalized immediately after being diagnosed, and it is not the first time that the public anger has been triggered.

On August 19, Japan's deputy cabinet secretary, Kazuhiro Sugita, was quickly hospitalized after a fever, and the news sparked strong criticism from the Japanese public. Some Japanese media described the angry voices of Japanese netizens as "spewing out" when reporting.

However, the report mentioned that Sugita is 80 years old this year, he continued to have a fever a week before hospitalization, his physical condition was not good, but his nucleic acid test result was negative, in order to make a detailed diagnosis, he was quickly hospitalized on the 19th.
