Open up the borders and soon. no need for silly restrictions any more.

Okinawa numbers still extremely high.
Higher than Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka combined last year.
This is far from over.
Stay masked, stay home, stay away from non-household members.
Time for Japan to lockdown to finally get a grip on this.

As much as some find the COVID-19 prevention protocols annoying, the regular chorus of deniers telling everyone to take off your mask, you must enjoy outside, vaccination does not prevent infection is even more annoying.

You know very well that you obey the protocols and wear masks, and avoid crowded places. You have received 3 vaccines too.
And you do not travel by airplane, domestically or internationally.
Thank you for keeping us safe.

Up again from yesterday by 2000???? This is bad…

Still wise to take sensible precautions and practice good hygiene, especially in crowded spaces. But with hospitalisations at manageable levels, unless you’re vulnerable it’s probably good for all of us to get back to as near normal as possible.

One thing is for sure. Alcohol had nothing to do with high case numbers.

But you cared to get a shot in the first place.
Then, after only one shot, and months after the initial effectiveness wore down, you would go out to crowded bars and restaurants unmasked? Doesn't make sense. Why get the shot in the first place if you didn't care?
And during the SOEs, most places were closed and almost all required masks, so you either stayed home, because of nowhere to go, or wore masks where establishments, taxis etc, requested/required.
And flying now versus flying last year is totally different.

Ok, well, then we basically agree on what is reasonable.

Oh, it is absolutely shameful to expose oneself willingly to groups of people outside of one's household in crowded, not well-ventilated places such as bars and restaurants, where extra precautions are not taken by those establishments.
It is not an excessive burden to wear a mask when going food shopping, riding a train, or taking a taxi. It is irresponsible to expose other people to Covid if one is infected, such as being asymptomatic.
Simply put, there is no reason to say "I'm going to do what I want" and ignore basic protocols that have been in place the last two and a half years.
The Japanese government agrees with me. They believe such cavalier behavior to be unreasonable too.
As I mentioned many times, if you are outside, sure, no need to mask up.
On a train, in a taxi, in a crowded indoor space, put it on. Simple.
Not to do so is shameful.

Drink at home; the economy doesn't care where the money comes from.
Protocols have always been to limit one's exposure unnecessarily.
Will JAL let you board an international flight without submitting proof of a negative Covid test?
Reasonableness is the key.

I think wearing a mask is common courtesy to others.
Those that don't wear masks make a lot of other people feel uncomfortable.
The fact that some people who don't wear masks seem to love to promote the fact that they don't, says it all.
Weird

Depends on the country. But why go to a bar in the first place and put yourself at risk and then put others at risk as a result? It's still too early. Why go meet other unmasked strangers and then the next day be in contact with friends, family, the elderly? Think about them.
Right, advice is changing; no dispute. But number of infections are still high in Japan so why not just tough it out a little more? It won't hurt anyone, and might save someone.
And I have travelled internationally several times, and was never burdened by having to wear a mask when walking into a store in Hawaii for example.
So, I have been moving forward continually, probably more so than anyone else here, but doing so reasonably.
And it is not a hassle at all.

How come you were anxious about sending your kids to school? Fair question I think:

Look at the shapes of the seven day cycle of the tested positive graph
Look eerily similar for the 5 weeks shown.
