Cases have been down since last week as more masks have been off the face !

Fewer masks. Fewer cases. Unsurprising.

Okay, so are we finally ready to ditch the 3x vaccine/PCR negative proof requirement for entry/re-entry into the country? Why is it that literally every other country barring China no longer asks people for this and hasn't for like a year now? For the purpose of travel, same day PCR test centers are either disappearing or jacking up their prices, because the use-case has become so rare- literally only Japan and China. I guess as much as these countries act as though they are diametrically opposed to each other on an ideological scale, endless and meaningless Covid hysteria seems to be something they share in common.

And who's fault is that

Uhh, the government's fault? Why would it be anyone else's fault? Again, basically no other country aside from China requires PCR tests or vaccine certificates to enter.

Still huge numbers and many senseless deaths.

But what about the positivity rate? :O

I haven't forgotten it because it still affects me.

Covid rampant in Japan yet still asking for the useless proof of three vaccinations or a PCR test?

(coughs in US-American)

PCR tests or proof of vaccination is not required if you are a US citizen or a resident.

So it's okay if the USA do it to other nationals, but not okay if Japan does it, and you are basically complaining about not getting the same preferential treatment in Japan as in the USA.

Tourists shouldn't have to submit PCR tests or proof of vaccination for entry. Tax-paying, visa-holding, legal working residents and citizens especially should not have to.

Most countries already have already accepted the latter. Japan has not. The fact that the US policy is only slightly less garbage than Japan's does not change this fact.

Why is it so much of a bother to you? It's a footnote in the pandemic everyone has forgotten.

I haven't forgotten it because it still affects me.

It's far from over.
