On March 2020, 3, the Kyoto University Resilience Practice Unit, created by researchers at Kyoto University, summarized new coronavirus countermeasures based on risk management (information is being updated from time to time).An explanation video was released on YouTube with the aim of controlling the fatal and severely ill while avoiding the collapse of medical care.
According to the Kyoto University Resilience Practice Unit, the basic policy for new corona measures is to prevent medical collapse, control fatalities and severely ill people, and take into account social and economic damage such as an increase in suicides, and long-term citizens. We aim to minimize the damage.
As a concrete measure, regarding events, we request that elderly people aged 60 and over, people with illnesses, pregnant women refrain from participating in events, request refraining from events of a certain size or larger, and thoroughly request infectious disease countermeasures for events smaller than that. I mentioned it.
On the medical side, it aims to thoroughly avoid nosocomial infections and increase the number of tests that can be handled.In particular, in order to avoid medical collapse, people with a high probability of infection will be examined with priority, mildly ill people will be treated at home, and hospitalization and other measures will be given priority to severely ill people.Medical devices such as ventilators and resources from the Prefectural Institute of Public Health are encouraged to prioritize the use of patients in high need.
The mortality rate of new coronavirus infection is estimated to be twice that of those under 50, 50 times that of those in their 2s and 60s, and 70 times that of those in their 10s and above. I'm asking you to be careful.
Satoshi Fujii, a professor at the Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University, who is the head of the unit, said in the video, "I summarized it with reference to the opinions of faculty members and researchers of the medical school who did not participate in the unit. We have moved to the stage of minimizing the severely ill. "
