A serious question. How come Shizuoka , being a Tokyo neighbouring prefecture, every day, announces, 1, 2 or zero cases ?
while Tokyo and the other 3 prefectures record + 100 every day ?
If correct we should all move there. The virus seems scared of Shizuoka

um, maybe compare the populations of Shizuoka and Tokyo and you might have an answer. Yamanashi, Tochigi are also very low.

According to data provided by the Tokyo Prefectural Government. The analysis is as follows.
The total rate of persons hospitalized per 100,000 inhabitants is: 9,71 points. This is encouraging. Because it is below 10 points. And that's a good thing.
But we must be cautious. The downward trend has stopped. Implying that Tokyo Prefecture, has just reached the ground of the infection curve.
It is still too early if this is the beginning of the dreaded 4th wave. We hope that this is a stabilization and not a rebound of infected people.
This has been my analysis.

Has anyone seen or heard anywhere where the Tokyo cases are occurring? Earlier on we would get reports of clusters, but these days there is no indication of where or how people are contracting the virus.
