Nice, much smaller numbers.
Also not bad at all in okinawa! Though why we should even think about some speck of land hundreds of kilometers away is silly, it's like hawaii to the US.

Thanks for the info! Puts things in perspective.... just 0.1% of cases resulting in death and that's with the high average age in japan and fact that any death following PCR positive test is counted as a covid death no matter how coincedental or unrelated... I would think it would be higher!

Not at all. Compare the numbers not with what you personally want, but for example with the first months of the pandemic or all the former six infection waves. It will pain you, to say not seeing a significant increase in numbers and death tolls here in Japan.

How did you determine that as fact?
Got a credible source?

Again everyone living and dying is not all that matters

The numbers I come up with for Tokyo are 1/50 hospitalized and 1/207 in ICU.
Could be wrong.
