So the news are still obsessing about "cases", which is a meaningless parameter. The sentence that counts is "The number of infected people hospitalized with severe symptoms in Tokyo is 36". So 36 in a metropolis of 20 million, and you can bet if you look at the individuals, you find high risk factors (i.e. age and other conditions).

No, that’s the most important and base parameter. You can calculate with it how deadly or lethal the virus or a new variant is, or you can even calculate from which size of people’s gathering you should currently avoid to attend for not catching an infection and so much more. Without that basic information you can only blindly walk through the fog and have no chance to get a picture of the situation and apply fitting countermeasures.

The PM got it, in Japan. proofing that insisting on pre departure PCR tests are a complete farce and are having zero effect on the daily numbers. All it does is to inconvenience people and pander to racists.
Try again. It's must have had.

Strange, a while back it was number of deaths that was the important number.
I guess since that one has been quite high recently you've had to move the goalposts for a while.

YES FULLY AGREE.
From my point of view it will be interested to know percentage of fully vaccinated "cases" both in hospitals ands in serious/critical condition to assess "effectivity" of vaccination...but for some reason you can never find this information in these daily "cases reports" reported here as maybe there is need to hide truth from us and keep us "afraid" by numbers of cases instead???just wondering...
