In February 2020, Japan began experiencing outbreaks of COVID-19 infection and deaths due to the disease. Open data on the number of positive PCR test results are available from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW). We applied the SARIMA models to these time series data and selected an ARIMA(1,1,2) model as the best model among this class of models for the number of infection deaths during the main period, which includes the period covered by the declaration of emergency. We applied bivariate VAR models to the data of the number of PCR-positive persons and the number of infection deaths and selected a VAR(15) model as the best model for the main period. With regards to Granger's causality of the number of PCR-positive persons relative to the number of infected persons and deaths, we obtain clear causality in the data only up until June 17, with causality not so clear after June 18, when MHLW changed the definition of fatalities.

While the crude mortality rate for lung cancer has been increasing year by year for both men and women, the age-adjusted mortality rate, which is calculated based on the base year population, has been decreasing since the 1990s. We will discuss the influence of specific generations on this peak in age-adjusted mortality rates by comparing age-adjusted mortality rates based on multiple base-year populations and by examining time-series trends in the percentage of the population in each 5-year age group in crude mortality rates.
