That same red tape was able to process enough tests to get results of 20thousand to 25thousand positives around the last peak

The real numbers must be terryfying.

That 25K people are only the ones that could prove 5 days of high fever, and 5 days on coughing, and pass through all the hospital burdens.

PCR Tested in Tokyo on 10/14 : 5,430 People.

Why is still so much red tape to get a PCR test?

Maybe you should stick to the conspiracy theory.

And also, just because someone doesn't believe the numbers, this doesn't make them a conspiracy theorist. It may just mean they don't trust what comes from the mouth of the government.

This is fraudulent,they tested less than 1000O people in the last three days,the average person stay positive for five days if someone catch a train from Shinjuku station to nishi funabashi,they not can only infect people on the train ,but their co workers in that five day period Harris county has the best health care system in the world ,see their cases Google Usafacts Harris County

Absent credible evidence provided by the deniers, I'm just gonna say "Yahooooo!" about the data.

Please keep those borders closed for the time being.

6 more months please until OTC medicine is available.

And it seems they're not letting guard down because of the numbers dropping:

> The government said Friday it will boost the country’s medical capabilities in order to hospitalize 20% more COVID-19 patients compared with this summer’s fifth wave of infections, when many people were forced to recuperate at home.
