dr kazuma tashiro is trying to find a hospital bed for one of his covid patients. in this densely—packed part of southern tokyo, there are now dozens of covid patients who need to be in hospital but can't get a bed. dr tashiro and his team are a literal lifeline. in this block, a 61—year—old man is very sick and on oxygen. so last night i called him to check if he was alive and he could talk with me at the time, but this morning i couldn't talk with him by phone so i'm very anxious for his health condition. as soon as he enters, its apparent the man is alive. it turns out he hasn't been able to pay his phone bill, so it's been cut off. he has also removed his oxygen mask, and as he checks, he finds his blood oxygen level is very low.
