Manipulated number of patients in Tokyo


I fumed, fumed, and fumed. 

Today, the governor of Tokyo announced 13 new patients infected with COVID-19, less than one-fourth of patients yesterday.  Only private institutes opened the new positive cases.
She did not disclose the accurate, total number of patients positive, which has humiliated doctors who are treating growing patients at the forefront and just broken their hearts.
Is the economy superior to health? 

Dear doctors, please take care of yourself.  I'm ready to support you. 
Dear friends, please take care of yourself. We Japanese are not special. We have the same risk as Italy and the U.S.


正確な統計データの記録・公表は公衆衛生の基本です。
今日は日本の公衆衛生、感染症対策にとって汚点となるでしょう。
