The United States warned people not to travel to Japan. Why did the United States, which has always supported Japan, switch sides?

Because according to Japanese news reports, the Japanese government plans to extend the lifting time of the emergency declaration from May 31 to June 20. It also shows that currently, the epidemic in Japan is indeed very serious.

As of 10:00 on May 20, the cumulative number of confirmed COVID-19 patients in Japan exceeded 690,000, and the number of new cases in a single day on May 19 reached 5,800. Due to the rapid increase in the number of infections in a short period of time, Japan's medical system has collapsed and is more critical than India. Some confirmed patients are unable to receive relevant treatment in time, hospital beds are in short supply, and some asymptomatic infections are restricted from hospitalization. At the same time, the mortality rate of COVID-19 is showing an upward trend among the elderly in Japan. According to Japanese statistics, most of the deceased patients are elderly. Unable to receive help, these elderly people sadly passed away without treatment. Japan's population is originally relatively small, and it is also aging seriously. The Japanese government is also to blame. Regarding the shortage of hospital beds, the Japanese government has not made any substantive efforts other than apologizing to the people. Yoshihide Suga has publicly apologized to the Japanese people, but the people who are in dire straits do not buy it. Raw materials are extremely important to a country. Instead of apologizing, it is better to effectively solve the shortage of protective equipment. Because it has been in a state of emergency, but it has not been implemented in a practical sense, it does not have the meaning of a state of emergency, so the epidemic situation has remained high.

The epidemic and virus infection rates are rising in Japan. Among them, the Osaka area of ??Japan is the most serious. Hospitals are already overcrowded, and a large number of seriously ill Japanese patients have been driven home!

Recently, there are news reports that about 10,000 Japanese will return to Japan from India. At present, the medical system in some places has collapsed, and there are so many people After returning from the hardest-hit areas, the situation in Japan is really worrying, because no one can guarantee whether these people are carrying the virus. If so, Japan will fall into incalculable difficulties.

In order to ensure the continuation of the Tokyo Olympics in Japan, the Japanese government has begun to vaccinate health care workers and people over 65 years old. However, the number of infections in Japan has been rising: Japan has experienced *** in the past seven days There have been 36,000 cases of virus infection and 779 deaths, bringing the total number of virus infections in Japan to nearly 716,000. Overall more than 12,000 people died. Currently, Japan is still in a state of emergency, and Japan is also preparing to welcome 11,000 athletes from 200 countries and regions. Japan has officially spent $15.4 billion to prepare for the Olympics.

So the United States warns citizens not to travel to Japan. Because the epidemic is not under control, it is still very dangerous.
