'Medical system collapse' hits Japan as hospitals buckle under new wave of Covid-19 blamed on the British variant and doctors say Olympics MUST be cancelled

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Covid cases in Japan's second-largest city jumped five-fold in three months

  • Osaka prefecture had 1/3rd of Japan’s deaths in May despite only 7% of the country’s population, with 3,849 new positive tests in the week to Thursday and 13,770 total COVID-19 patients

  • Doctors in Osaka have warned the healthcare system is now collapsing
    ...or at least 96% of the dedicated hospital beds for virus patients are in use, and they’re thinking of pulling staff from other wings...
  • Beds and ventilators are running short, while medical staff are exhausted

  • Doctors have now joined growing calls to abandon the Tokyo Olympics

  • Only about half of Japan's medical staff have been vaccinated.
