Dial back several months when these numbers were not yet reached; it is not over yet.

Keeping away from crowds.

Tested in Tokyo 11,578 people on 3/11

We got absolutely no idea if infections are going up or down.

The data is so scarce, there's no use for it.

The testing numbers are basically meaningless other than for noting trends.

The most important numbers related to people who are critically ill or who have died, and thankfully these are staying low - not even close to levels that would pressure the medical system. And there's no info on whether their situation is illness/death with or from COVID.

Numbers NOT going down in Ehime at all. Close to their all time high. It been like this for over 2 months. Maybe the reason is there is no quasi emergency in Ehime . In fact there are no anti virus measures at all. Nothing other than wearing masks which are removed in the busy restaurants, bars and coffee shops, which are all packed. Likewise by school kid playing sports etc. Maybe this is what endemic looks like assure is not a pandemic when nothing is done.

So much for “it’s over!” it’s over when there aren’t currently hundreds of thousands of current cases “Time to open up” never been closed, “learn to live with it” when people stop dying from it . No mask ? No problem…. Never had a mask mandate here anyway . Fear mongering? “We’re all going to be infected.” That’s spreading fear ! “Enjoy life.” how about become a responsible adult as children are still leading the daily surge in new cases. If the highly irresponsible minority would catch up to the highly responsible majority and get vaccinated, stop spreading false information , fear; and the virus . Maybe by summer we could move on !
