It's important that, during these trying times, we try to stay positive, take care of ourselves both physically and mentally, and support each other in times of crisis. It's the only way we're going to overcome this rampant killer together!

I see 3016 cases in Tokyo
I see 3016 cases in a city of 14.000.000 million is 0,02%.
But everybody has a different view on things.

I see 3016 cases in Tokyo versus 143 cases same day last year as being different. More than 20 times different.
Unless you see those numbers as being the same?

Agreed.
What this country needs is a China-style total lockdown of the entire country for a minimum of 6 months.
Its what worked in the past and is our only way out of this terror.

Comparatively speaking heck no! Dont look at the "totals" look regionally and this is a good sign!

Huge numbers still!
Trending up and down, but still much higher than one year ago.
