@Wobot - To keep people out of hospital as we keep telling you. I'm happy I contributed.

Cases continue to skyrocket. And Japan underreports.

Okinawa numbers are way up still.

Another wave is around the corner so we will see higher numbers in a few weeks. Not to mention that BA.5

will be here soon.

Feel free to waltz around your neighborhood, but wear a mask when you are in close proximity to non-household members. Travel where you like but mask up. Eat izakaya food, but take it home.

I saw several foreigners wearing masks at a major train station the other day, so probably most are complying, regardless of what they write otherwise.

Best advice--stay in, stay masked.

Stay tuned.

Why so dramatic every day? Chill out, go out and have a nice cold beer and enjoy the summer, you’re making yourself stressed mate .

You're talking about drama and stress, not me.

Thanks for staying masked mate!

I wore the mask for over 2 years and caught corona regardless. Now it’s time to drop them outside, especially in this heat.

I wore the mask for over 2 years and caught corona regardless

Did not catch the Covid, and wear only the mask in my company, where I do not have much choice

If you don't . . . , at least remember to social distance, avoid crowds, change air filters for a/c on a regular basis using (some filters claim they can trap virus carriers), sanitize, especially air with disinfectant 99.9% spray . . . .

It's going up because anti-maskers are now free to cough anywhere they want.
