Still pretty high. I would urge the government to only allow foreign tourists into Japan under quasi permission until the number of infections is much lower.

No!

Looking at new cases per million Japan is higher than a lot of countries that long abandoned things such as masks and plastic screens months ago.
Time to put covid behind us and get back to the days when we could lick handrails, share toothbrushes, and have a good old time!

Down and down equals enough of the madness! open the border get back to the real world and NO there are not 300000 people in hospital!

Still reporting these?

Let the tourist in as so many want. I am fine with that.
"Time to put covid behind us and get back to the days when we could lick handrails, share toothbrushes, and have a good old time!” Anyone is allowed to do so.
But, keep those people who are infected away from me. Just keep them in your company/group. I am just concerned about my well-being/family/friends.

Why? We foreigners aren't the cause of the continuing rise in Tokyo - we've not been allowed in!

Still on a very slow moving downward trend. Hopefully, it keeps on this path.
Also a net drop 3 days in a row of actual hospitalizations.
Total Infections 8,715,319
Change from previous day
+35,190
Hospitalizations 309,759
Change from previous day
-8,565

Error in translation….wrong again…
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/japan/
active cases in Japan as per above site…they can’t all be in hospital…..
on top of which the total hospital capacity of Japan is 1.4 million beds! Are you seriously trying to say roughly 25% of ALL hospital beds in japan are currently being used by Covid patients??
oh dear!
