On March 11, 2011, a huge force erupted from the depths of the earth suddenly on the ocean floor in the Sendai area in northeastern Japan. The whole of Japan was shaken. 9.1 level. The strongest earthquake since the 1800s ’history of the Japanese archipelago.

At this moment, more than 70,000 tourists are playing in the park, a Tokyo Disneyland on a land island artificially reclaimed in Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture.

The fountain in the park was splashed with water, many audio stands used to play music collapsed, actors performing song and dance performances fell to the ground, and screams of women and children began to fall.

Only 40 seconds after the earthquake, the ubiquitous loudspeakers in the park began to broadcast, or Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean took turns:

Dear guests, just after the earthquake, if you are next to a building, please leave quickly and wait in the open space!

Guests outside, please sit there and wait! Pay attention to squat and protect your head!

Once we know the earthquake and the situation outside the park, we will inform you immediately, thank you for your cooperation.

Eight minutes after the quake, Tokyo Disneyland’s response command for the quake was established and started operation.

Tokyo Disneyland conducts more than 180 disaster prevention drills each year to teach employees various emergency evacuation measures. In other words, there is an exercise once every two days.

This intensive disaster prevention drill plan is the only Disney in the world.

For the earthquake, an emergency plan is set up: When an earthquake of magnitude 8 or higher occurs and the number of people in the park is 100,000, the safety of tourists must be guaranteed.

This earthquake is well within the scope of the emergency plan.

Staff immediately began security confirmation checks and searched every room in each building one by one to ensure that visitors had been evacuated.

A tour guide recalls:

The whole house was shaking that day. When the chandelier smashed down in the room, the Stitch figure from the Disney animated “Baby Star” came over and pressed me underneath.

ChandelierIt’s a shame to be the next Wuhan in one step! …

For more than a month, the epidemic situation in China is rapidly improving. Many people who eat melon can’t help seeing such articles one by one, lamenting that the scenery on our side is unique, and it’s time to read the joke of Little Japan.

That feels joyful and a little pitying. It’s like seeing a ghost with two in one face being torn apart by the Anti-Japanese Chivalry empty-handed.

But these articles have suddenly disappeared recently.

Why?

Because the epidemic in Japan is under control.

As of March 17, two months after the outbreak, more than 300,000 Chinese people traveled to Japan during the Spring Festival alone. A total of 851 people were confirmed infected, including 29 deaths.

This number means that the number of all infected people in Japan in the past two months is less than half of the number of new infections in Italy every day.

For a country with a population of hundreds of millions, the epidemic is under control.

The truth is that these days, Japan has been handling the epidemic in an orderly manner and controlling it from the source.

Since the first confirmed patient appeared on January 15, on January 28, the Japanese Parliament decided to include new crown pneumonia as a disease under the “Infectious Diseases Act”, and all patients were treated free of charge.

In particular: regardless of nationality.

Patients with cold symptoms and fever exceeding 37.5 degrees Celsius for more than four consecutive days should report to the regional clinic near their home for further examination by the clinic doctor.

If the doctor determines that a nucleic acid test is needed, the patient will be transferred to a higher-level hospital for testing by a hospital or university laboratory that has the test conditions. If the test result is positive, the patient will be admitted.

Japan stipulates this to avoid the biggest disaster: Medical runs.

The catastrophic spread of the epidemic in Wuhan in the early stage of the epidemic did not lie in the virus, but in the medical run.

The panicked crowd went to the major medical institutions in unison, crowding the hospital for a while. No country in the world can afford such pressure.

Once a medical run occurs, not only will the hospital be paralyzed, patients diagnosed cannot be admitted, other departments will not operate normally, and medical staff will be infected. It may also cross-transmit carriers and healthy people and eventually cause large-scale infections.

The medical strategy to deal with this new crown epidemic is a triage system established in Japan for many years.

The so-called triage system means that patients usually go to the clinic nearest to their home when they have an illness. If the clinic can treat them, they will complete the treatment at the clinic.

These clinics are integrated into the medical insurance system, and each visit pays 0-30% according to the patient’s financial conditions.

When the clinic doctor thinks that further diagnosis or further treatment is needed, he will write his judgment and request into a larger hospital and then schedule the patient’s visit to a large hospital. In this way, runs are avoided and medical resources of large hospitals are occupied.

Japan’s triage system is established at 169,000 clinics and about 8540 large and small hospitals nationwide.

What is this number? Make a comparison.

People who have been to Japan will be amazed by Japan’s 711, family, and Rosen convenience stores throughout the country. According to the Japan Franchise Association, the number of convenience stores in Japan in 2019 is 55,620.

In other words, the number of Japanese clinics is about three times the number of convenience stores.

At present, the Japanese government has required at least one specialized clinic for new coronary pneumonia in 335 large hospitals across the country.

In order to prevent patients from going directly to these large hospitals, causing confusion and runs, a special regulation has been issued:

In principle, the names of hospitals that open specialized clinics are not announced nationwide.

The Japanese are ghosts.

In this epidemic, Japanese media reported much earlier than Chinese media.

The Asahi Shimbun reported on January 9, “Unknown cause of pneumonia in Wuhan, China, the Japanese government began to gather information”, and on January 16 reported “China’s new coronavirus, the first confirmed patient in Japan”.

This is not alone. By this time, major Japanese newspapers had news of the new crown virus pneumonia epidemic every day, and TV stations were even reluctant to fall behind and joined this collective whistling.

Japan’s information is not publicly available or available. Article 16 of Chapter 3 of the Infectious Diseases Act clearly states:

The Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare and the governors of various prefectures and counties need to analyze the collected infectious disease information and proactively announce the occurrence, trend, cause, and prevention of relevant diseases through newspapers, televisions, and other channels. Necessary information about treatment and care about protecting personal information.

Timely disclosure of information is beneficial to officials at all levels in Japan without harm. The most intuitive point is that the votes are in the hands of the people. If you want to have political ambitions, you must get the public’s favor.

If the media and the society are held accountable because the information is not released in a timely manner, it will either be resignation or a public confession.

According to this rule, confidentiality has also become a major feature of Japan’s response to this epidemic.

For example, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare announced that no confirmed name, nationality, past illness, occupation, and residential address of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia were announced.

Public information is limited to approximate age, gender, residence in Japan, and time of onset.

The reason given by a director-level cadre of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Umeda is:

Bad is a virus, not a human. Nationality has nothing to do with the second spread of the epidemic, and patients should be respected, so it is not announced.

Not long after the outbreak began, in a letter to Japanese parents from Japanese elementary schools, it was written like this:

As everyone knows, new coronaviruses centered on Chinese martial arts are spreading around the world.

Similar to the precautionary measures against influenza, washing your hands and mouthwash and wearing a mask are effective measures, especially the flu virus is also circulating now, please parents Be careful.

At the same time, we are also worried about the unequal treatment of people living in China and Wuhan due to the continuous spread of news and online reports.

Every family member, when discussing this in the family, please start with the right human rights awareness of raising children, and pay attention to preaching. ⁠

A Chinese student recounted his experience working in a coffee shop in Tokyo:

Because of the outbreak of pneumonia, because of my Chinese identity, I was worried that it would affect the store business and the mood of the guests. I applied to the boss for less or canceled my schedule.

The response is: don’t care.

When he went to work the next day, he noticed a notice posted in the store:

The store has Chinese students. If there are customers with different opinions, please do not come to our store.

When many guests learned that he was a Chinese student, they came to comfort him:

The virus happened in China, not the fault of the Chinese.

Disney, which successfully dealt with the earthquake that year, has an attitude in this epidemic situation: it will not refuse to enter the park because of its Chinese identity.

Of course, in Japan with a population of hundreds of millions, it is impossible for everyone to have the same idea.

Okazaki Medical Center in Aichi, Japan, received 128 infected tourists on the “Diamond Princess”.

After that, the county government received some calls. Some require that taxes not be used to treat foreigners. Others say that Chinese and Koreans must be driven away.

The governor of the county, that is, the leader Nozomi Omura responded with a personality:

… I just think you are shameful, I won’t lose.

From the data published by the WHO official website, as of yesterday, Japan had killed 29 people in the new crown pneumonia epidemic.

29 people died. What does this data mean for Japan?

According to 2016 statistics from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the number of accidental deaths at home in Japan in 2015 was 13,952, of which the largest cause of death was drowning at home, 5,160.

Dividing 5,160 people by 365 days a year, there are fourteen or five Japanese who drown in the bathtub every day. It is the only cause of tragic death in the world.

This is related to the fact that Japanese people love to bathe, every family has a bathtub, and many elderly people are old and old.

If the Japanese government has failed to protect its citizens, this should be counted as one.

From the perspective of the current epidemic situation, Japan has mature laws and regulations, a layered system of diagnosis and treatment, and a reporting system, world-class medical conditions, and round-the-clock information disclosure. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Plus Japan’s terrible industrial strength.

On March 5, the Japanese government promised the public to ensure that 600 million masks are produced nationwide in March.

Japan originally consumed nearly 6 billion masks each year, 20% were produced by itself, and 80% were imported from China.

Since the outbreakFrom the beginning, Japan started to increase production of masks. On February 12, the Chief Cabinet Secretary of Japan ’s Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide said in an interview that the country ’s weekly output reached 100 million.

Behind the growth are a number of world-renowned chemical companies such as Mitsubishi Chemical, Toray, Sumitomo Chemical, and Mitsui Chemicals, which can provide sufficient raw materials; mask manufacturers currently have 24 hours of non-stop work, and Toyota, Honda, Sharp and other companies have begun Cross-border transfer masks.

It seems that Japan will no longer need to donate masks from China.

The epidemic situation is gradually brought under control. Naturally, China has fewer and fewer jokes and stories about the Japanese epidemic in the media.

In these days, with the gradual improvement of the epidemic situation in China and the escalation of the epidemic situation in Europe and the United States, the stances of other countries have begun to replace Japan and appear in the circle of friends.

—— Americans are starting to store guns and bullets!

—— The United Kingdom surrendered in the face of the epidemic, intending to infect 60 million people!

—— Darkest moment in Italy: captivity, escape, riot, jailbreak!

—— There are many outbreaks of overseas epidemics, and even Chinese operations will not be copied!

Most of them are inflated voices, showing off and mocking how stupid foreign countries are, and how brilliant we are.

Do we have to see others’ miserable lives to find a sense of security?

Zhang Wenhong, director of the infection department at Shanghai Huashan Hospital, is one of the most trusted medical experts in the country since the outbreak.

He has replaced Song Dongye as my new male god at the same table.

In response to this phenomenon, he said something like this:

After the epidemic broke out all over the world, we will always see a point of view that is to laugh at other people’s practices and think that other countries should come to copy China’s operations.

The mistakes we made earlier need to be reflected. And our later period is effective, other countries can not learn-the system and national conditions are different.

Not to mention this is a disaster.

Whether you are laughing at the spread of other countries ’epidemic or boasting about your country ’s greatness, is actually a blasphemy of the disaster and the dead.
