My life, my choice. I’ll go when I’m ready. The government doesn’t own me (completely).

Since when is 8% doing something well? And that’s only the first shot.

I give it two weeks before they change course.

Is the goal of the government to trash the economy by this never ending cycle of a weak SOE followed by relaxed restrictions?

The IOC Virus begins in …

Must be nice to live in an alternate universe. Meanwhile, some of us have lost income and loved ones during this pandemic.

As was asked above, when did Japan become an IOC colony?

“this will all be over soon and normality shall resume to all our lives.”

Oh you mean by next spring after I’ve finally had my two shots. Yep, real soon.

The LDP goes against the preservation of the species. There fixed it. How far do they plan to let the population drop to?

I think his brain has been infected with the virus. He can’t be that naive. Or can he?

So about a month and a half of the Olympics? What could go wrong there? Sigh …

I used to love the Olympics. This debacle has ruined it for me. Thank you IOC Overlords.

Japan's government had previously denied it was considering a plan to vaccinate athletes ahead of the general population.

And there it is. Screw the people who pay your salaries.

Time to boycott this farce.

As much as I love iPads this is insane. Families shouldn’t have to pay for this. Also, why only iPads? There should be options.

Kind of hard to skip the first two points when you have to commute every day.

Lack of testing is unique. Sigh ...

Stagger working hours and the number of people allowed on the trains. Will never happen though.

Brave? I’d go with foolish or naive.

The availability of hospital beds is strained. What other options are there besides an SOE? Private hospitals won’t help.

Shut it all down for 2-4 weeks in those cities. Close businesses, and pay people to stay home. And cancel the Olympics. Stop consulting and do something.

How about limiting the number of people that enter a store/shop or restaurant? Or limiting the number of people per train car?

"Taking a proactive approach is indispensable in responding" to the spike, Koike said. Proactive? How just being active for a change?

Are we strengthening quasi measures now?

Comedy gold indeed. How sad.

These are amazing photos. I love visiting castles in Japan.

I feel quasi worried that this will be quasi effective.

A loan!?! What a farce.

83 to 84? The start of a geriatric baton race?

Exactly. Not Japan’s islands anymore. Time to move on.
