Tokyo reports 12,935 new coronavirus cases; nationwide tally 71,488

Long-Covid does not actually exist. It is a condition known already for many other ailments and just given a new name by people who have not bothered to understand the narative of socialists. Japan does not need socialism in any form it is perfectly fine living as a capitalist society. Keep that stuff in NZ where it is clearly not working for normal people.

Not surprised about Okinawa's numbers. Fast food and other chain restaurants limit numbers in groups to 4, and either close by 8pm, or are drive thru only after that time. While local restaurants have tables with 12 people sitting together unmasked eating drinking, talking, and laughing at 9pm.

The number of infected people hospitalized with severe symptoms in Tokyo is 87, unchanged from Saturday

.....and that, of course, is the only figure that matters. 87 out of 15 million, i.e. de facto nothing. Meanwhile Omicron runs through the population. Everyone will come in contact with Omicron, and the vast majority of people will have zero problems with it.

But the media just continues to feed us these meaningless "case" numbers.

That is just dangerous disinformation, if the scientists and doctors of the world have clearly charaterized the syndrome above any reasonable doubt just you saying they are all wrong simply is not enough.

and that, of course, is the only figure that matters.

Yet the professionals of health say this is completely wrong, it is not rational to only look at the consequences of all the other numbers as if that would let people react on time to prevent sudden increases, specially with a very inadecuate public health system that is maintained on the least possible amount of money and support.

Maybe they’re just calling out sick today. Let’s be considerate of others feelings. Wishing ALL a quick recovery

Have you ever your mind to work and wonder why the number of serious cases in Tokyo the most populated and congested city with about one-tenth of the population is comparatively low ? The number for the rest of the country is 1477 while Tokyo is just 87. Ok, let me help you. It is because Tokyo is using a criteria tbat yields a low number that is Tokyo does not count people in ICU as serious cases only those on ventilators and ecmo whereas most prefectures follow the government criteria of counting those in ICU.

says someone who’s never had it. Long Covid is real, potentially deadly or debilitating. You can have a mild initial illness like me and yes Omnicron gave it to me.

We'd like to congratulate the Facebook University Graduates of 2022.

Still reporting "cases"?

Time to move on from this.

Pack it up the doomsayers are running out of materials thank god!

Open up move on time to live with the new Flu!

@virus long covid. Where is your standard we don’t have enough information to disprove the null hypothesis?Folks should very skeptical of “long covid” as a novel condition. No other virus has had this much attention, this much speculation and this much follow up. Maybe there is “long covid’, but us it relevant? Do I have long influenza strain x, y, z, long osteomyelitis, long strep?

Other than the border, what hasn’t been open? Japan’s population has been spoiled with near zero restrictions. So I truly don’t understand all of the patently false statements people have and continue to make about “opening up.”

And lest we forget, prefectures like Kanagawa, which had near a 100% positivity rate, have simply stopped reporting numbers because they are embarrassed.
