Numbers falling in Tokyo including severe cases which indicate the downward trend is continuing. Most of the cases are in the young who socialize more and are less likely to develop serious symptoms from Covid. This is the right time for SOE restrictions to be eased and hopefully fully dropped on the coming months.

Less than 100 cases in Osaka today and falling everywhere. Vaccines at 1M plus a day. Japan heading in the right direction for sure.

The numbers have conveniently been declining in the week leading up to the end of the SOE. The SOE is conveniently set to end a month before the Olympics. Let me guess, nationwide cases will conveniently be in the double (or even single) digits by the time the Olympics start! They're not even trying to hide their lies anymore...

Its like the polls with 1000 people out of 1750 replying.

really, how many tests?

and if young people are increasingly infected, that means it’s the new vaccine resistant variants.

how did they enter this island country???

4 ( +7 / -3 )

Still an increase over the last few weeks.

9 ( +10 / -1 )

7,006 tests. Drop of 2,009 tests from same time last week (9,015) Oh and just to remind - Tokyo has 97,000 testing capacity per day.

13 ( +13 / -0 )

These jokes have to stop somewhere. 10,000 people x 30% gets infected 3,000 . People imagine what that number will be by August 2021.???. What are they thinking???. Olympics , some people are pocketing money again???. definitely not love for the Japanese people or sports.

By the rolling average on key criteria it now looks in good shape.
