Tokyo reports 189 new coronavirus cases; nationwide tally 944

7-day average has risen from 656 to 873 compared to last Sunday. So it's an exponential growth.

Zoroto. You sound giddy, sounds like your really hoping for the worst.

Looks like they limited the max number of the random number generator of the Excel sheet.

Cases, cases, cases.... meanwhile nobody is dying of this any more. This is getting so tiring. We do not hear about "cases" of athletes foot every, why continue this?

Looks purely political to me.

@bokuda Not necessarily, but some are now transferred to Hokkaido by a second daily worksheet randomizer. lol

Nobody?

I actually have to agree with @Zoroto. As I have a hereditary condition that makes me at risk for a covid-19 death. Also my Father in-law who is in his 70's recently had a heart operation so he is also high risk.

A larger number of daily tests and random tests would surely help us to see the situation better.

Japan is capable of doing far more tests per day but currently the only people who are being tested are people with symptoms and then only if they have had a high temperature for at least 4 days.

Agreeing with zoroto is rather dangerous for you.

A Large random PCR test result and its interpretation can hurt people. People like you and your dad.

There is absolutely no way to effectively control an airborne virus.

Don't drop your guard and wait for the vaccine. PLEASE

While tens of millions of people have taken public transportation everyday for the last 8 months.

You are fretting of t

of taking the bus once a month.

However much testing they do, I am not sure it could relieve your hypercondria.

Down vote all you want but ask yourself how many cases of bus drivers becoming infected or dieing have you read about or do you think that's a big conspiracy too?

Japan has a less pre-conditioned population (diabete, heart diseases) than other countries thanks to the healthy food habits.

So it's totally possible, Japan has a wide spreaded infection (we don't know because of lack of tests) and few serious cases/deaths.

Traditional diet would save Japan, certainly not the government.

Not at all. I do would like to have an accurate picture of the situation, though, so that I can make informed decisions, instead of going by beliefs and "feelings."

But that's exactly what you're doing, going by beliefs, feelings and runaway imagination =)

If you notice the pattern, the # of tests are very likely actually from the previous day (in this case Saturday) and not 3 days ago, despite how the government reports it.

You're not just saying the data is erroneous, you're trying to bend it to your will

Where are the occupation of the infected posted?

Well if you can read Japanese, the occupation of patients if regularly mentioned if it is of public interest.

I was supposed to say this but you beat me to it. It's just a bad flu disguised as " Covid " where are all the flu cases ? Hundreds of people die every year from flu complications but you never hear daily reports. More people die every from all sorts of other causes but it's not called a pandemic.
