(DeepL訳) #CoronavirusUpdate 2021/6/9🇯🇵 @freeze209021 さんが日本の #FOIA (情報公開法） を通じて警察に開示要請したところ、今年度の新型コロナパンデミックで陽性反応が出た人で、治療が不十分だったために家庭内で死亡した119人のうち、大阪が最も多く（28人）、次いで東京（22人）だった。

[Detailed Report] According to @kantele, it was revealed that the number of total in-home and in-hotel deaths recorded by the police that were caused by #COVID19 who tested positive prior to their deaths nationwide since January 1 to May 21 this year was 122.

User WADA @freeze209021 filed a request to the NPA (National Police Agency) to specifically disclose the data of "COVID19 deaths registered by the police found in their homes or state-designated acommodations who tested positive in PCR prior to their deaths."

The NPA complied.

According to the disclosed material, most deaths were accounted for in Osaka (28), Tokyo (22), Hyogo (20), and Kanagawa (11). Most deaths were found at home with 199 and 3 in state-designated accommodations; 2 in Chiba, 1 in Hyogo.

Regional differences were also observed.

While most of the in-home deaths were concentrated in January (14) and February (4) in the beginning of year in Tokyo, the same was found in Osaka for April (16) and May (9), suggesting 90% of deaths in Osaka occurred during the 4th wave of the pandemic.

The same trend was observed in Hyogo for April (11), and May (4), suggesting 80% of deaths were concentrated during the same time period, since the 4th wave of the pandemic struck.

The number of deaths registered by NPA this year in each prefecture was as shown below.

And now. National broadcaster #NHK reveals that the actual number of deaths due to lack of treatment and being stranded at home in Japan was at least 500, FIVE TIMES the number reported by NPA to a specific request via #FOIA . www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/2021…
