The herd is perfect. We will be mask free within 18 months unless flu season hits bad.

NHK said 23 died in Tokyo Yesterday,

19 the day before. Five and 19 going back two days more.

Have they been released since they have recovered ..... OR......?

Then answer is, both. Let's say there are 100 people in critical care. Then in one day, 50 new people are admitted to critical care. On the same day, 53 people are discharged from critical care. Now we have 97 people in critical care, down by 3. If all 53 of the people discharged recovered, great news! On the other hand, if 3 of them recovered, but 50 passed away, not such great news. The stat is pretty useless, but I assume the point is to indicate whether the strain on the medical system has improved or worsened.

Whatever...there is coming later the one day, when all 150 have been counted.

@Kiwi: Stats are amazing in population think tank and talk

@klaus: The severe cases dropped in numbers due to those really old people that got nailed with the virus left this planet.

Japan is doing great and because of attitude and following simple requests by the populous even though quite a number of politicians think they are above us and like $700 steak dinners on the dole
