BOOM!
Numbers shooting up even though most Japanese got their Covid shots.

Yep. 5th booster is on the go now. That explains the low mortality rate so no need for lockdowns.

Seriously, I was at the airport returning to Japan , it was an absolute joke. The mysos app has changed and the new process took about 1.5 hours to go through via some horrible Jgov website.
Honestly it was an embarrassment for Japan, the world is realising that Japan is old news and out of date from incidents like this.
Its sad.

I don't think it's anything to do with that.

In a city this size there are only 18 severe cases. I’m not sure why I need to care about these numbers anymore.

Seriously? Still counting and making this a news? Rugby match between Japan and NZ attracted 65,000+ crowd with lots of shouting. Basketball matches in BLeague are also jampacked with lots of shouting! Japan series just finished with lots of shoutings too!

If vaccines and masks worked so well no one would get Covid …oh wait they don’t work at all… lucky the virus has mutated to a weaker strain which is no worse than a cold…

Another 300% increase day to day . But this time , that increase is on a much higher number than the last 2 Monday’s . Not a good sign of things to come . By every metric , the numbers are once again on the wrong trajectory. Currently, Over 470k hospitalizations
Hospitalizations 470,891
Change from previous day +2,015
Those numbers will surely skyrocket each day this week . This is precisely what happens when govts don’t follow the science and drop recommendations far too soon .!, Mask up people.!. Get your new mRNA booster asap.!. Stay out of closed and /or crowded places.!. The 8th wave has barely gotten started and we never ended the 7th. More unnecessary deaths will follow …. Unmitigated disaster….
