Posted in: Naomi Osaka says she's pregnant; plans tennis return in 2024 See in context
I was wondering why she chose Japanese citizenship over American citizenship
No hard evidence has actually ever been provided that she actually renounced her US CItizenship apart from her saying she would in 2019
Her name has never been listed on the "Quarterly Publication of Individuals Who Have Chosen to Expatriate" federal register list so it virtually certain she remains a US Citizen to this day

Posted in: What's your situation concerning vaccination against the coronavirus? See in context
Japan has FULLY vaccinated nearly double that of Australia 6.4% to 3.3% or 8M people as opposed to only 841K in Australia.
Australia has also used lots more AstraZeneca vaccines, which have a wait time of 12 weeks for a 2nd dose as compared to Pfizer only 3 weeks. So lots of Australians with 1st dose AZ doses and their fully vaccinated number will jump quickly as those AZ people get to their 12 week point in the next few weeks
