Maybe the masks will come off when its 40 degrees this summer.

Until then, masks, R1, and updated boosters for me.

Why not just remove your mask now and be done with it?

The numbers are going down! The masks must be working! (sarc)

Yesterday, I went through Narita customs what a joke them and their QR code and making you stop and for what?????

I thought the 3 vaccines was to do away with all this, but it does not seem to make a dang difference.

Getting back to this story, the number of people in the hospital in Tokyo also does not make a difference either because many hospitals turn away sick COVID patients because they do not either have the beds, staff, and or both.

The death rate seems high lately, and again the stats are not all there what are the age ranges of these people passing.

Plenty of studies to show the ineffectiveness of mask masking. Today's report showing cases and covid-related deaths in mass-masked Japan alone is one such 'ongoing mass study'. Indeed, the findings have been staring us directly in the face daily now for the past year. Problem is many refuse to see it - largely because they can't remove the useless masks they sheepishly hide behind as that would be to admit they were wrong. And who wants to do that?

Why is it going down? Because people stayed home due to the winter frost, and decided not to be tested?

Nah. When I get confused and overwhelmed with too much information I apply Occam's razor. People didn't feel ill because of the scientifically proven effectiveness of masks and vaccines. That's why it's going down.

Haven’t had any problems working out while wearing a mask since this ——show started.

You aren't working out hard enough, then.

When the report was so late in posting yesterday, I was hoping we were done with the Covid-19 numbers.

Thanks for clarifying Elvis.

You're welcome Tonic and Gin.

it means numbers were surging a few weeks ago because people weren't vaccinated / wearing scientifically proven masks back then...or something like that.

You haven't applied Occams razor and are not making sense. Again.

Anyway, It's a delight to help people in need.

Elvis is here, When the numbers were skyrocketing, masks and vaccines were clearly not helping one little bit. Now that they're falling, they're clearly effective? Yeah, right.

i can assure you even if Covid is downgraded it’s still not the damn flu and never will be. In 2015 the flu killed 28,000 globally and by august of last year we surpassed 1 million deaths for the year of 2022. The government can do what they want but the statistics don’t lie. My guess the most convincing argument to downgrade the virus is to open up more hospital beds.

Numbers down. Sound the alarm! Lol

@mumbairocks Have you been using a burlap sack as a mask? Haven’t had any problems working out while wearing a mask since this ——show started. Quite a few people used the “Can’t breathe and work out while wearing a mask” excuse to slack off from exercising.

Mumbai….sure man was made to wear masks (not going into a psychological diatribe here). Our ears are generally arranged so as to drape the flaps of the mask thereover, and thereby hug the mask firmly against the fore part of one’s face.

Everything is fine, but only for the viruses. While everything enjoys virtually sinking numbers and mask or vaccination awareness is dramatically sinking , they can ‘happily’ replicate, spread and maybe develop the one or another more severe variant without bigger obstacles. That’s the problem now or later, still not talking about LongCovid in society and workforce or a generally decreased life expectancy , all that already visible on horizon after those only three years or so.

Thanks for keeping us informed.

Maybe the masks will come off when its 40 degrees this summer.

Until then, masks, R1, and updated boosters for me.
