On another note, not sure if it's in the new here, but in Tokyo, covid is running a touch rampant and the hospitals can't cope. If you turn up at hospital, you get turned away and have no option other than go home and fight for your life. This is Tokyo yo. Now!
Oh, but don't worry, it's just like the flu. Pffft.
Some misinformation there that lacks context

I'll address it as I assumed it's directed at me...
You turn up to a hospital, you might well get turned away, period. That's not how the system works here.
If you're talking about people who've called an ambulance and been turned away, that's fairly normal too; not all hospitals can deal with whatever "emergency" you're experiencing, you may find yourself sitting in the back of the ambulance while the medics call the surrounding areas looking for a hospital to take you.
There has also been a change in policy regarding treatment -- used to be, you'd be admitted with any level of symptoms. Now, mild to moderate are asked to convalesce at home. Reports of people being turned away tend to include a paragraph (lower down the article, of course) that medical professionals have "determined that home recuperation should be continued".
There are a set number of beds that are dedicated to COVID treatment and isolation, which is obviously less than the total number of hospital beds available. There are 9,636 beds in Tokyo, last info I saw earlier this month was ~50% occupancy. Media likes to report that "infections outstrip the number of beds"...but that's disingenuous. Literally the same thing happens in flu season.
Yes, infections are up. No, deaths are rising at the same level. In fact, the 7-day average is down since Delta (I assume) started surging since June 16.
