Don't small and medium enterprises make up like 70% of Japan's workforce?
So it's not really a 5% increase on average is it?

I'm curious, got a source on all those deaths connected to the vaccines?
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html
States that as of April 12th, of 189 million people vaccinated in the USA there have been 3,005 reported deaths but Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has not detected patterns in cause of death that would indicate a safety problem with COVID-19 vaccines.
And don't your dare link to articles posted by the Children's Health Defense.
Here's another link debunking a lot of hogwash.

Tokyo Gov Yuriko Koike said on Sunday she might make the request after the capital's daily coronavirus cases surpassed 500 for the sixth consecutive day, with only three months left before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics.
And now that it hasn't hit 500 for the sixth day, Tokyo doesn't need to request a third SOE.
Nice save of face there for Koike.

The capacity of novel coronavirus testing in Tokyo will be increased to about 65,000 per day by early December, Gov. Yuriko Koike said Friday, October 20, 2020.
To be fair she said she was planning to increase the ability to test up to 65,000 people not that they were actually going to test that many people.
That's how I read it unfortunately.

I don't know why everyone is panicking over a few cases here and there. Surely, there wouldn't be an Olympics unless everything were under control.
Don't forget what Suga said back on September 26th, 2020.
“In the summer of next year, Japan is determined to host the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games as proof that humanity has defeated the pandemic.”

Looks like they're averaging at about 35,000 a day. So to get 80% of the population vaccinated, we'll be good in about 2,900 days.

Interesting headline. Is Japan the only country that is "late"? Lets see:
Australia will start next week:
The vaccine is not a priority because Australia has handled covid pretty well comparatively.
And we don't have an Olympics in 5 months.
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/feb/16/australias-covid-vaccine-rollout-how-will-it-happen-and-when-can-you-get-it
Furthermore, Australia hopes to have everyone who wants to be vaccinated immunised by the end of October.
That's 16.5million people in 8 months.
Not bad for a "late" country.
