So No one is asking questions about amount of testing they do ? and about the fact they dont test even people who have corona until they literally cant breath ?

I agree we should focus on how many hospital bed are available until the max out and keep creating more room for more people the infection rate slowly climbs to the top of the mountain. Focus on how many died and under what cirumcumstance lead to the death while being treated for COVID. Those are very good KPI (key point indicators) to have.

Recoveries continue to outpace new infections by a wide margin. Japan is slowly getting on top of things.

But we are August 28th, why are those tests results reported so late? Japan's testing is really broken.
