Regardless of your views on testing ( I’m in favour of more ), didn’t Koike say the number of tests was going to be ramped up?

Has anyone heard of a timeline for this? I honestly missed it if it was stated.

If you didn't get sent from your ward then your number won't be counted anyway.

Hope for good news for you either way!

...I think we should send Ms. Koike questions about this, via Twitter and the Youtube videos she posts.

Todays commute to work. Jammed pack trains on the Hanzomon line and ginza line and many coughing on the trains. I think impossible that the numbers are very low. Or maybe its unaturaly to be wearing a cotton mask for 10 hours a day at the office and not expericiencing breath discomfort due to hyperventalation and insufficient oxygen flow from the mask blocking O2.

1 million single jab. 500,000 both jabs. Since Feb.

Because:

Japan currently relies exclusively on the European Union for shipments of the Pfizer shot, and approval is needed for each shipment under the region's new export controls.

Maybe The EU has something to do with it.

Ummm yeah, and you are going to have to come in Sunday too to get another PCR/Antigen test.

Please, please, please do your research regarding side effects before going ahead and having it. Do not believe MSM.

I agree completely.

And don't beleive posters, there are too many baseless claims on this forum by people pretending to be experts. If your health is important to you, find reliable sources of information.

Only 20% of medical workers and not even 1% of seniors have been vaccinated. Sad that it will be quite some time to get to the rest of the society.

The EU has only rejected one request (from around 500 by late of March) for an export of AstraZeneca doses to Australia. Seeing how the EU has not blocked any shipments to Japan, whom can we blame next?
