It’s a never ending cycle as it’s always about Tokyo reporting and the 208 who were tested positive have already spread it around. Let’s keep counting as it seems like a hobby now

Is it Tokyo Times or Japan Times?

I wonder why Tokyo alone is always in the focus... the reported 26k are just in one city. Its not Japans over all.

I am using the GoTo Travel....but I think it is kind of crazy to have everyone going around the country during a Pandemic....Just saying

Still less people than normal, especially without the Chinese. I was in Kyoto last Saturday (weekend after the 4-day weekend), and it was like a weekday. No wait at Gion Tsujiri.

And then?

-7 ( +2 / -9 )

Out of the 4707 people in Tokyo sick enough with something on Wednesday September 30 to be able to convince a doctor to order a test, only 25 people had severe coronavirus symptoms - which equates to being hospitalized. The other 183 are told to go home and quarantine because their symptoms are too mild. I have said it before, 25 people hospitalized for COVID19 in a city of 13 million is statistically insignificant. More people were hospitalized in Tokyo for vehicle collisions on Wednesday.
