Not so pessimistic, @William77, they’ll probably even manage to produce negative numbers by early summer...lol

Not much point if the rest of the world is still riding the crest of its third or fourth wave, and athletes from all over are allowed in without vaccination. And if most of us here are still waiting for our vaccinations.

My American friend in her 60's here is unwell, her and her husband's income is low and wishes to get the test but is sure the only way is by paying 20000 yen and she cannot afford that. How many people are like her in Japan sick but cannot afford the test.

Great news! I will be coming back to Tokyo soon and may not even need to wear a mask anymore. Hope the vaccine is ready and waiting for me!
