5,467 hospitalized for heatstroke

Jiji


The number of people taken to hospitals by ambulance due to heatstroke in the week through Sunday more than doubled from the preceding week to 5,467, preliminary data showed Tuesday.

The figure, up from 2,622 in the week to July 15, hit the highest for a single week this summer, according to the data released by the Fire and Disaster Management Agency.

Deaths caused by heatstroke increased to 13 from five in the preceding week.

Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture had the most victims, with ambulances called for 388 people each. They were followed by 382 in Aichi Prefecture and 372 in Osaka Prefecture.

People aged 65 or older accounted for 45.9 percent of the total.

Since the agency started this year's survey on May 28, 11,116 people were taken to hospitals as of Sunday. Twenty-three people have died.

The rise in heatstroke cases reflects the smothering heat wave, with temperatures of 35 degrees or higher observed in many places for the four days from July 16, agency officials said.

In Tatebayashi, Gunma Prefecture, the mercury shot up to 37.6 on July 16 and to 39.2 the following day, according to the Meteorological Agency.

Am I the only one that thinks this is a cover-up, and that these people are told they had heat-strokes, but are actually suffering from radiation poisoning?

it can be...

well said, there is something wrong over there.

Just insane.

of course its a cover up!!! its got nothing to do with the fact is fucking hot right now.

it fukushima and a conspiracy theory, luckily GLP is awake and knows this....YAY FOR GLP!!!

Thread on gas-like smell in California coming from ocean. Are these two things related?

Is that a record?

Something is going down...

i don't know...

heatstrokes... and all kinds of weird illnesses...

No, this is just the beginning of the Summer in Nippon!

This Year it is imo. relative moderate,
only the last few Days it got hot,
it will stay so until the end of August!

Normally many of the People who have no AC
go for the Libraries or Shopping Malls
but since last year they are only 27c.
which is not really cold!

very strange indead...

you fucking TEPCO shill paid millions to lie to the good conspiracy theorists, everyone knows japan doesn't have weather, same way japan has no beaches, thats why tsunamis are lies to make us feel sorry for mcdonalds and eat burgers!

Yea man... Governments around the world have NEVER lied about nuclear accidents.

Wow, I must be an idiot for not believing everything they say.

Been to Japan before TSHTF - and everywhere I went (it was in the summer) the a/c was cranked to 'arctic'. Now, b/c of Fukushima, they can't use that much electricity. That was one of the first things I thought about. Not sure why it didn't happen, or was reported last year, but this doesn't surprise me at all.

Really humid and hot and very little a/c = heat related deaths.

Wonder if they were more caught up in the radiation news and didn't report deaths last year - the last thing they'd need - more deaths related to them nuking themselves.

Thanks for finding this Luisport!!

You welcome!

Hey Luis...good find:)
Feel so sorry for the Japanese people.
One crazy thing after another...it just
does not let up.

Put it all together...massive tornadic destruction in USA, winds of 65+ mph out of nowhere, funny gas coming from ocean, 97% of Greenland ice sheet melted in space of one week, thousands of Japanese suffering heat stroke, radiation poisoning etc...

Looks like things are way out of normal. Had a dream last night people were traveling looking for fresh streams or springs as most had almost dried up, or were just barely trickling very contaminated water. never had a dream like that before. And I dreamed about 911 way before it happened, over and over, so who knows we might be in for a real bad stretch shortly.

Hello my friend!

As I have foreseen in my dream..... Thread: August 2012 Possible SCORCHING HOT SUMMER Dream back in 2012 actually a vision of this year's August 2013 event!!

You can add a few 5.000 from today+
6 Lives of People who died/ killed
today, it is really hot in Japan atm!

Above 35c. in the Shade!

Now it is 23.25JST and still 32c. here
in Setagaya Ward, the mass of Concrete
and Asphalt is heating up!

I hope that i can leave for Hakone Mountain
tomorrow, it is 10c. less there!

Atsui desu

Are u native Japanese?

Why the concern about heat stroke? The Japanese are said to not be allowed to get treatment or diagnosis for radiation poisoning, so why can they go to hospitals for heat stroke. Is Japan pretending to give a shit? Heat stroke is immediate therefore it is real.

Wouldn't surprise me because I have always been weird about heat, in the sense that - I always found it cold and couldn't cope in the heat, at all.

Now this is what's weird because this year the heat is here but I'm not finding it like I normally do (as in, nearly passing out etc) but I feel like my skin is literally burning. On the forearms mostly. Like if someone held a hot metal rod towards my skin but didn't touch it completely.

Very irritating and strange.

@ S. G.: No!
I came from far, far away!

@ W. M.: your Story is Bs.!

Pre-Fukushima it was cold everywhere but now it is
soooooo hot that the People get killed!

No Nuclear Energy is no Solution,
we are in the urgent need to find another Way!

We can add. ca. 50 dead People,
74% above the age of 65!

It was very hot today and Tokyo went above 100 Fahrenheit

But (!!!) no Black Out until now 21.40 JST.,
this is the amazing Point, a lot of the People here
want to show that we as a Hive-Society are
able to save Energy in high Amounts!
