The number of infected people hospitalized with severe symptoms in Tokyo is 51

if a metropoly of 14 million people is in trouble cause 51 (fiftyone) people are hospitalized, well, this city has some problem in its administration, ne Koike-san ?

and when only 4% of tested people is positive, well, should I continue or it's clear that this "pandemic" is not a pandemic ?

Japan needs to speed up its vaccination program to hold Olympics this summer.

At least 70% population gets fully vaccinated.

Only those athletes should be allowed to participate who were vaccinated in their home country and should provide evidence or a certificate from their respective authorities.

Those athletes which were not vaccinated should arrive in Japan at least 20 days earlier to quarantine themselves.

All countries should start vaccinating at arrival that will help us. like before boarding authorities at arrival site have data of vaccinated and not vaccinated peoples and vaccinated the peoples at arrival.

Japan should clear that those who follow rules will be allowed to participate in Olympics.

30% crowd should be allowed in the stadiums with strict guidelines.

this is the point which I see can help japan and other countries to bring normalization back as soon as possible.

Still a very small amount cases and deaths compared to total population. The amount of deaths of "healthy people" due to driving is likely about the same amount of deaths of "healthy people" that died from COVID. The governments are not banning driving though. People have a 99.99% chance of surviving COVID in Japan.
