Tokyo reports 7,395 new coronavirus cases; nationwide tally 48,825

Up and up.

Time to go back to normal. Two years of COVID regulations and vaccines don't seem to be doing much.

So 2 extra people in hospital with severe symptoms??? Ummm and the numbers are down for total infections! Time to stop reporting people with the flu and move on!

you’re kidding right?

maybe you should read the article again with your glasses on!

And let me guess, you only think that the numbers for Tokyo matter.

Seems we’re stuck on the plateau. It’d sure be beneficial if they’d start testing the way they should . Then they could get the infected outta circulation. Props the the vast majority of people out and about enjoying life while still employing the most basic common sense ways to help mitigate the deadliest variant of Covid in Japan to date. Masking up even in public for the good of public health. They’re all probably responsibly vaccinated as well . News flash : Covid has not and does not discriminate. It doesn’t check your age , weight , dietary habits, or ask if you were or were not born with diabetes. It’s kills even healthy people. Perfectly healthy people. But for Covid , 30000 people in Japan would not be dead . Data from all other countries has no as in zero scientific value in Japan. The vast majority of responsible adults were vaccinated when Omicron started yet in Japan, unlike other countries, Omicron is the deadliest variant of Covid to date. I find it beyond repulsive that there are those select few who blame the dead or even think perfectly healthy teenagers and kindergartners dying from Covid are acceptable as collateral damage .

What about people with 3 doses?

That information should not be hidden from the public.

What makes you think it’s hidden? Adding up all the figures from the columns listed gives us the exact total reported, which is 7,395. Those who have had a booster are either included in the column with 2 shots or in the last (unclear) column. Or it’s zero.

Also, what is the rate of vaccination in Tokyo. (Hint: many times more people are vaccinated than not) Proportionately, those who are unvaccinated have a much much higher rate of infection.

nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody, thinks that. The fact remains that The number of deaths in Japan is lower than any other G7 country.

CrashTest is 100% correct. Sweden has been wide open the whole pandemic and had almost no excess deaths in 2021. Countries requiring lockdowns, masks, and vaccines had a lot of excess deaths.

Look at NZ, South Korea, and China. Turns out zero COVID strategy was a huge mistake.

It hasn’t been ‘wide open for the whole pandemic’.

Who tells people this trash?

Look at NZ, South Korea, and China. Turns out zero COVID strategy was a huge mistake.

How were their resounding successes at keeping the deaths to a minimum, while keeping their economies strong, equate to NZ and Australia making a mistake? What would be more important than those things?
