‘Stay home as much as you can”
I assume you are joking as that would make zero sense

Steven,
Mybdear chap, those are total case numbers to which you are referring. Hospitalisations are below 10,000 and have never been above 30,000 during the entire pandemic.
Japan is running as usual, except for tourists and most people are enjoying their lives.

Actually no, these numbers are just the results of Friday tests. The one's to watch are Monday, as Sunday many test centers are closed.

We have now gone over 200,000 here, and over 40,000 in the first three weeks of May alone. Things are not "settling" down.
But no one really gives a crap it seems. HS and JHS school trips here have increased, tourists from mainland are jamming hotels, the airport is busier now than it has been for over 2 years, people are getting sick and dying too.
But hell, it's just a "fever" right?

Another dramatic increase in new hospitalizations….
Hospitalizations 336,080
Change from previous day +4,579
These numbers cannot be sustained. The only way to get these numbers to a manageable number is to dramatically reduce the number of new cases…. But that’s also not happening…. The minority of anti mitigation, anti vax, anti everything clan just won’t change. Quick to whine about opening up and moving on when the reality is that we’ve never been closed…. Not sure what they want to “move on” from . Keep safe and responsible people…. Peace out .

Indeed. But don't forget the 330,000 hospitalized in Japan according to that "reliable" source of information that posts that figure on here every day - that's more than the people hospitalized in the UK and US combined at the very peaks of the pandemic! Stay safe everyone!

So reassuring that the increase in people hospitalized with severe symptoms in Tokyo was 0% today. Yesterday’s 50% increase was very alarming!

This is quite alarming for a Saturday figure. Be cautious everyone and stay home as much as you can!
