Those Abe masks did it.

If you mean the government handling of the Covid 19 issue you are correct. Japan is now the example to follow. Japan now has the lowest death rate, the lowest number of cases, and the highest vaccination rate. Soon the third round of jabs will begin. Take a look in the rear view mirror guys that is the world Japan is leaving in its dust.

Well said! Some of the fanboy types are incredibly irritating and seem to believe everything the government post here.

Nationwide tally 221 cases. It is much lower than annual flu cases. It seems very (too) hard to get infected with coronavirus in daily life.
