How did the Japanese epidemic occur? Was the Japanese novel coronavirus transmitted from China?

After the outbreak of the new coronavirus epidemic in Japan, many netizens wanted to know how it was spread. In fact, it was caused by the Diamond Princess. The measures taken by Japan were surprising. There were no protective measures, and people did not wear masks in public places. No attention was paid to it, which led to large-scale infections now. I hope the epidemic will get better soon!

How did the Japanese epidemic happen?

The cause was the Diamond Princess, but as a person in charge of epidemic prevention, he did not wear a mask at a special meeting to discuss the epidemic, and kept coughing and blocking his mouth with his hands. Was this behavior to show that he was brave or to show that the epidemic in Japan was not serious enough? This will obviously lead the Japanese people in the wrong direction.

Now the epidemic in Japan has entered the early development stage. If we do not take the epidemic seriously enough, the consequences will be unimaginable. As the person in charge of epidemic prevention work, we must set an example and set a correct attitude and example for everyone to prevent the epidemic!

Did the COVID-19 in Japan come from China?

The initial infected person on the Diamond Princess cruise ship was the 14th confirmed case of COVID-19 in Hong Kong.

The patient is an 80-year-old male who went to the mainland via Luohu Port on January 10 and stayed for several hours to buy a ticket. He traveled to Japan with his two daughters and took Hong Kong Airlines flight HX608 to Tokyo at 9:15 am on January 17. He started coughing on January 19 and boarded the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Yokohama on the 20th. He used the cruise ship's massage bath and sauna room and arrived at Hong Kong Kai Tak Cruise Terminal on the 25th. There were 2,407 tourists and 1,063 staff on the cruise ship, 130 of whom disembarked in Hong Kong, 86 of whom held Hong Kong identity cards. He started to have a fever on January 30 and was admitted to the Caritas Medical Center. He was diagnosed on February 1.

The Diamond Princess, which has been confirmed to have more than 500 infections, will welcome the first batch of 500 asymptomatic passengers with negative test results, mainly elderly people, to disembark. According to news reports, they will take public transportation home from Yokohama Station and other places.

If we count from the quarantine on February 4, it has only been 14 days, and there are new patients, I don’t know how to ensure that no one is infected during the quarantine period. If there is, then these second-generation and third-generation infected people may still be in the incubation period, may not show symptoms and test negative.

Japanese experts also pointed out that the cross-infection protection on the ship was very imperfect. Because the patients were taken care of by crew members instead of specialized medical personnel, and crew members were very likely to carry the virus when moving from one room to another. In other words, although people who shared a room with the patient were not allowed to disembark, there was still a possibility of second-generation infection among those who disembarked.

Everyone has a responsibility to prevent and control the epidemic. The domestic epidemic situation has improved, and many places have zero new cases. The virus knows no borders. The epidemic in Japan is urgent, and confirmed cases have appeared in many places. Large-scale gatherings of people and performances are very dangerous and can easily spread the virus. They must be effectively controlled as soon as possible and the epidemic must be eliminated as soon as possible. Come on.
