EuroJP comments

Weapon business is doing well. Zelensky comedian is new world leader now, who order other leaders to send more weapon so the war can prolong. I feel sorry for ordinary people who suffer the most from this war game politics.

Now US can also sell more gas in higher prices that it wouldn't be possible without the war. All world crisis is not 100% because of this war or Russia. It's a planned agenda.

...But they just looked around as did Abe. The poor man was a sitting duck field the 2nd blast

I was thinking the same. Some says that there was no time SS could do something. IMO they failed ugly. After the first shot they should immediately take the Abe off the stage down and protect. However, they turned back and watched for the person who shot. Fail!!!

The man could have been saved.

However, after watching scenes and read "heart stopped" I knew 100% he won't make it. I'm sorry, it's sad but when heart fail and is not moving soon (10min max?) then is over.

Nobody deserve to die this way.

Take maks off people and allow the air flow and not own sh....

TVCM have finally arrived to ask the same.

One cannot avoid heatstroke 100% without face cover but can reduce it. So, take it off. Use common sense.

COVID-19: Performance study of microplastic inhalation risk posed by wearing masks

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7773316/g

Never wore mask outside in 2 years and in last 6 months in Europe neither I won't risk my health in +40C in Japan as many others do while no one is around them. This is why so many heatstrokes lately including poor children whose parents put mask on as little as 2 yo. Good luck to them.

I put mask inside due to respect and not to bring bad image to gaijins. Outside even Governance advice not to wear.

...empty seat next to a foreign-looking person remaining vacant even on a crowded train.

It never bothers me. Actually I like to have more space instead of someone sleeping on my shoulder. Of course, I make sure to leave some space and not to sit with legs wide open :)

On then other hand I say to myself: well if a dude doesn't want to sit next to me but prefer to be squeezed while standing then be it. Good for me

Polish Government is sick. As they had a lot of money. Give away jets for free and get involved passively into this war. Then buy another old ones from US. I think US knows well how to make a business and screw "old allies". The blame is here to naive Poland. They get too much into not their business such as going to Ukraine during the protests years ago to add more fire to it.

Oh, we went through the same in 70s and 80s. Now we come here to help you dear Ukrainians. We know what does this mean. Even if you murdered 1000s of Poles, we are here for you. Now we are communistic Gov. again. No respect of law and everyone around us is our enemy. Germans are enemy because they will grab our land, Russia is enemy because they attacked us during WWII and EU is enemy. because they take our freedom, though money from EU are welcome. US was for a bit was enemy too, because they gave up to install rocket system during Bush era.

War is bad and Putin is sick too but Poland shouldn't get involved As someone wrote above Biden will say: it was Poland not us US again use Poland to do dirty work and Poland is naive enough to follow and spend tax money for old jets But, wait! Oh America will protect them. War is business. Look how weapon is selling well to Ukraine by many countries. I guess many old Kawashikov left in stock to give away too. Watch out because this may turn against everyone

Fauci, Fauci...WHO is this man? Time to retire.

I wonder why is Japan yet on European Union list as "high risk country".

You should be all glad to be in Japan. Life is so normal here. Look at EU where totalitarian regime is growing. EU use digi passes to control population not the virus. Whether vaccinated or not, both group can spread and get it. More and more countries require pcr tests for those groups regardless of status

Link to one of the news so you will see i'm not theorist

I respect people decisions. I don't let those who try to divide us to do so. European Union leaders, Presidents and Premiers of individual countries discriminate and promote division between people for the sake of virus. How can leader call someone who is just asking questions and do own research to call anti-vaxer or right wing etc. Some of you do the same here. Stop it!

I used to think before the same way (is and they ) but not anymore. Those who supposed to care repeat the same words all over again. "anti-vaxers, pandemic of unvaccinated, right-wingers. How dare they? These are not leaders. It means there something wrong in all these events that are happening

No leaders should call to divide society. EU breaking their own laws by doing so. The worse is that many people fall into it including families who become enemy for each other. R-E-S-P-E-C-T Respect !

I read a lot too and have my ownopinion which is what it is However, I don't push someone or tell what's best for them or because of them something happens to others. It's not my decision, not my life.

Merry Christmas Everyone

Is it necessary ?

I wonder if Russian team reacted at all or just sat there and chill to get to venue. I would scream to stop the car and call Police.

@zichi

Not going to happen. However in Europe tax (VAT) is high but food tax varies by countries. It is around between 5-9%. In Japan is one tax which if it continues to rise then food might be really expensive.

I spoke with taxmen here about business and asked about it too. I was told it's むずかしい&めんどくさい to set up to tire system.

@Burning Bush

Most of your posts are good. However you get bashed for your own honest opinion against JT masses.

Since the beginning of the Olympic none of Japanese was tested positive. Ah, those foreigners again.

Good for Japan. Wait and observe.

Sad. Does this mean that all the information about tested people are passed to 3rd parties? How it comes they know to whom to send it?

I repeat again as jn other posts. Infected does not mean sick.

Expect numbers falling further. If they want to make Italy here by putting everyone with positive test into hospital then who wants to risk? Positive doesn't mean sickness (yet)

From Mainichi News

A revision to the infectious disease law would introduce fines of up to 500,000 yen ($4,770) for COVID-19 patients resisting hospitalization and 300,000 yen for those who fail to participate in epidemiological surveys by health authorities.

What? You have vaccine which suppose to do miracles not only in UK but in the world. Everyone will be free again. Hahaha Vaccine won't help but produce silent spreaders and one must take every 3 months . If still alive

You are 3rd country now! Stop cherry picking again. Are musicians some kind of different people? Should Canadians, Australians or Japanese musicians get free ride too? These days go online and play. No need permits

I use 2 alternatives instead of WA which is not installed on my phone.

Signal is good though still based in US and need your phone number. However is free and this is what people wants. I use it but to make people switch it or even keep along their "irreplaceable" Whatsapp doesn't work. Excuse: My all friends and business are using it. Well...good luck.

Threema - Swiss based and cost only $2.99 one time purchase ( less than latte you buy everyday ). However for many it's a looot of money for the app. ( excuse again ). Threema runs on own servers and you don't need phone number or email to use it. It's based on ID and QR code. UI is much better then Signal or WA.

I just wish the hospitals here in Japan were as rational as you and prepared an adequate response on time for the winter.

You wish

 Sometimes the whole thing feels like a surreal global drama with bit parts, actors and actresses all playing their roles.

Exactly. This is this not sometimes :) I watched vaccine advert on one of the European TV. They encourage people to take it as very safe and show happy faces going out of hospital and then meeting friends without masks.

The same show when it was played those who were leaving hospital after they survived this unknown orchestrated illness.

This is good news but far future as vaccine must make return on investments first

As I wrote earlier these days everything. is called "corona". Broken arm is broken corona, small cut is small corona.

Hospitals make big bucks for treating this mysterious virus. Even more when they use tube.

He is fine because this wasn't corona but minor flu. ( Oh, flu probably doesn't exist anymore...)

I'm really happy for him. He was likely checked, got antibiotics and was free to go back home. However, because of media he needed to spend 2 days in hospital.

I wished millions of other people whom we don't know, but just hear numbers end up like him.

These days everything covid. There is no other sickness. This is business. In US hospital say Covid they get $10,000 when connected to tube another $50,000

I know the same happens in some European country.

Besides, good reason to push cooked within 6 months and untested vaccine.

I hope Larry will fight even with his many pre-existing conditions. Maybe give the same cocktail as Trump got.

I'm was voted down when I wrote a few rimes here that EU is desperate to get a deal. They cannot stop to talk.

They tested UK border closure now in the name of new virus. Isn't strange timing? They show what is going to be like when there is no deal.

Next they EU Commission called to reopen borders again. z lesson learned. Now let's get this f&@&g fish deal or drag the negotiations for another 5 years because we in EU need your fishes.

Hmm, so Japanese passport holders can travel freely from hotspots like England with no requirement to self-isolate upon return to Japan? Seems a bit dodgy.

Japanese are required to self isolate as everyone who arrives in Japan regardless of nationality. The things that no one in Japan really enforce it. It's up to those people wether they want to stay home or just go to do shopping. All you have to do is answer 2 questions everyday via LINE

do you feel good today?

do you have fever?

That's it. No tracing about you walking around the city.

Diplomats are free to travel. Without PCR I guess

Yes and No.

Yes they don't have to do test before coming to Japan as long term foreign residents.

No, they are not free of test at arrival. They are tested as everyone else. The difference is that they don't have to wait for the result at the airport but proceed to immigration and go home. They receive result by phone 3 days later. They cannot use public transport and must quarantine as everyone else. This is information from my direct source.

FB has own VPN? Naive people believed that FREE is safe to use it and first of all from privacy respecting FB

... they are currently covid free and have been for most of the last 6 months, and with only 5 million people to vaccinate,,,,

why would they need to be injected with unknown? they handled very good and I think they can maintain it this way. Their leaders got experience.

Lovers of vactination here is good article for you

Dec. 31st, 2020 at 23:59 ECT or GMT(?) you will see a deal. EU cannot stop negotiations. Now plan is on Sunday as last day. Who believe in it? EU will keep pushing for something so the German cars and French wine and keep going to UK
