In a special program by NHK Osaka, Osaka Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura and an infectious disease specialist discussed the current state of the response to the Wuhan virus. According to the doctor on the frontlines, before the media began shouting for more testing, PCR test results for seriously ill hospitalized patients reached doctors the next day. But after the number of tests suddenly increased, the results began taking until the day after next. This essay criticizes the glorification of PCR testing originating from South Korea and the harm caused to medical frontlines by Japanese television media that echoed it.

Until the media began shouting “testing, testing,” the test results showing whether seriously ill hospitalized patients were positive or negative reached the doctors the next day.
But once the number of tests suddenly increased, it began taking until the day after next.

Tonight, after the 7 p.m. news ended, NHK Osaka broadcast a special program in which Osaka Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura appeared live and was interviewed about the current state and future of the response to the Wuhan virus.
A doctor who is an authority on infectious diseases, and who also serves as a council member involved in Osaka Prefecture’s decisions, appeared as well and explained the concrete situation on the medical frontlines, including things that ordinary viewers would not know.
He is a doctor working at Nakatsu Saiseikai Hospital, an extremely excellent hospital.
This is the hospital that discovered the serious illness I had, when my chance of survival was 25 percent, and it is also the hospital where I was once admitted.
His remarks from the frontlines proved that my criticism of PCR testing and the like, something suddenly issued from South Korea while that country was overshooting, and I deliberately call it such, was entirely correct.

Moon Jae-in broadcast to the world images of drive-through PCR testing, not only to prevent his initial great failure from becoming a negative factor in the approaching election campaign, but to turn it at once into an advantage, and also to provide an excuse to the international community.
At the same time, he began malicious anti-Japanese propaganda claiming that the reason Japan’s number of infections was low was that its number of PCR tests was low.
It is a well-known fact that Japanese television media immediately echoed this.
This matter proved that Japan’s media world, especially the television media world, is completely under Korean operations.

Today’s special program also proved that it is no exaggeration to say that those who make their living in the media are people who ruin the nation.
The people in the media merely continue saying exactly what Korean anti-Japanese propaganda says.
But what about the frontlines?
Public health centers are being forced into severe labor day and night, like a battlefield.
Even without that, we hear every day about the danger of medical collapse, including the shortage of medical personnel.
Media people, who possess only the ability and insight of elementary school children, do not understand at all the folly of assigning medical personnel to unnecessary and non-urgent testing.

The Saiseikai doctor said the following.
Until the media began shouting “testing, testing,” the test results showing whether seriously ill hospitalized patients were positive or negative reached the doctors the next day.
But once the number of tests suddenly increased, it began taking until the day after next.
For example, there is a rule that Avigan is to be used only for patients who have received a positive test result.
However, because this disease can suddenly worsen, situations are now arising in which doctors have no choice but to decide, based on their own judgment, to administer it.

Why did the foolish idea, below even the level of an elementary school child, spread that if one is tested, one will not become infected?
It was the deed of Moon Jae-in, and it has thrown into sharp relief both the propaganda power of South Korea and the abnormality of Japan, especially its television media, which is easily manipulated by that propaganda.
The people of Watch 9, for whom it is no exaggeration to say that self-righteous hypocrisy is their only method, cannot possibly know the words of the doctor mentioned above, and tonight as well they repeated the call for PCR testing.
Their true motive is probably that this, and this alone, can be used as material to attack the administration.
