Japan reports 34,064 new coronavirus cases

Uh...

Not far off a 100% drop, thats a hell of a fluctuation. Methinks this has more to do with the logistics of reporting than an actual magical halving of infections when we're still in the tens of thousands.

Yesterday was a holiday, is why.

Like it's always lower on a Monday.

Cool. Since Covid is never going away, people can start placing bets on numbers for specific times.

I wonder if the cases will be slightly higher or lower in November 2023?

People should remember to get a booster after being fully vaccinated . . . there is a new "bivalent booster" which is supposed to protect against Covid variants such as Omicron . . . . My family is doing so. - See,

that depends on who comments…

there are a few on here who believe in magic

but they won’t comment Today.

Japan reports 59 new coronavirus-related deaths.

Who wants to get tested on a Friday? That could ruin your whole weekend.

Yes, I know about those new vaccines that are supposed to prevent against all variants.

No human trials done though, so it’s hard to tell.

The current variants are very mild and unlikely to seriously effect a healthy non senior. Protection by wearing cloth masks is negligible with these variants, if you still have concerns regarding Covid, best to buy a proper medical mask.

Japan is still in an upward trend.

How bad is the current situation?

Tokyo has 3090 new cases.

On the same day last year Tokyo had 14 new cases.

Japan still has no effective strategy for dealing with this.

Mask up.

Stay in.

Japan needs to lock down.

Cases are down and the new variant isn’t killing people-time to move on!
