Wait...I thought the numbers were supposed to go UP because of Hanami, remember?

-2 ( +5 / -7 )

Numbers in Hiroshima are not declining. Stable around 1200. Same as when the peak was in Tokyo.

Maybe the corona measures in Tokyo are better..

-5 ( +4 / -9 )

No, Steven, Japan is not open for Tourism.

-5 ( +4 / -9 )

Open up move on enough with the sky is falling!

Now that I have had Covid I can’t believe that Govts are still perusing mass vaccinations and boosters till the cows come home! Just beggars belief!

enough already!

-7 ( +5 / -12 )

Numbers continue to fall. Good to see. Time for Japan to open the borders and get overseas tourism going again.

Bye bye corona!

-8 ( +9 / -17 )

I don't take stock in these numbers 

is there any reason to be still interested in the numbers ?

-9 ( +5 / -14 )

I don't take stock in these numbers after my own experience trying to get a test after being exposed to a number of COVID cases.

Gee Ashley. what are you saying, that the number could possibly be under-reported!? That's a wild allegation, but I assume you have some top secret contacts at the city hall who can back this up.

-9 ( +4 / -13 )

It just keeps going up and up every week...

-9 ( +2 / -11 )

Another drop in the 1/47 prefectures Tokyo . Seems the rest of the country is still on a plateau. Perhaps with some more urging , the jgov can’t get those who whine about non existent restrictions to follow whatever they believe those non existent restrictions are .

-10 ( +6 / -16 )

Say …. Just say for example that Japan completely eliminates all border restrictions tomorrow. Who are y’all gonna blame airfares on ? Flight availability?

-11 ( +2 / -13 )

Japan is open for business and tourism. What’s the issue ?

-13 ( +2 / -15 )
