It's a consequence of low birth rate : infrastructures, counsellors ... are insufficient.

Parental education have been abandoned by the officials of this country.

Thanks Omicron to provide another excuse to this government to keep foreigners away from Japan

Yeah...Japan sugooi.....the need to be seen as a leader in whatever, anything, the constant need for self- reassurance is really pathetic, well beyond anything I've seen living in 3 continents till now. Grow up and be confident in your strengths while honestly admitting your weaknesses, without needing to be reassured all the time Japan.

Totally !

Japan is fragile and sinking (old population, less industries, less innovation, chinese hegemony in Asia) and wants to find other topics to glorify itself, to remain one of the leading nation.

Hence the cherry picking of topics and the silence about others.

Once the pandemic is over, whatever Japan did about it, the structural problems of Japan will remains.

a japanese city awarded by a japanese study ... ok ... next

From the article and what many realistic people repeated here :

No one knows exactly how many died at home

But yeah, trust the official numbers ...

Even JT posted an article on how gvt played with numbers :

https://japantoday.com/category/national/relatives-of-virus-dead-question-japan's-stay-at-home-policy

while opening borders would be much easier ...

Awful for wild life.

Japaneses take nature for a zoo.

Shows how little you know. Japan is far ahead of America with the covid vaccinations. 95 million fully vaccinated out of a population of 127 million. 75%.

You don't know better.

The vaccination rate should be considered regarding the ELIGIBLE population, not the entire one.

Knowing Japan is the most aging population in the world, hence one of the most eligible in the world for vaccination, higher rate is rather normal.

No trophy here.

Wouldnt matter which PM was in charge going nuke will be makes Australia naval military far stronger than it currently is, and they wont even have nuke missiles onboard. imagine leaving a dock in Australia traveling for 3 months underwater going almost anywhere undetected and surfacing again once youve returned to Australian waters. NO diesel electric sub can do that without refueling, if foreign military take out your refueling ships then they've effectively taken out your subs

FYI frenchs also build nuclear subs ...

So it has never been a technological problem only political/diplomatic one.

Now let's have a look at US recent navy successes :

Virginia-class submarines

According to Bloomberg, more than 1,600 parts had to be swapped among the Navy’s Virginia-class submarines since 2013 just to keep them operational. Many of these components were meant to be good for 33 years — but started wearing out decades early.

USS Zumwalt (DDG 1000)

Nearly $8 billions, 5 years delay, project abandonned

So Australian will not have submarine firepower for more years now until the US subs are delivered (much later). Facing a growing chinese firepower ...

Choosing nuke and loosing NZ support ...

No need to say the cancellation of the french deal will not be free.

What a smart move !

See you in 2050.

The japanese pandemic of suicidal tendencies with collateral damages is going on for decades.

But the japanese model beats corona, radioactivity, bla bla ...

No government wants to deal with this society core problems.

Poor China ! All alone and no friends.

Communist China will always the support of Russia, officially or non officially.

Soon less chances to catch corona than being stabbed in a train in Tokyo

Suicidal tendencies phenomenon is the real pandemic in Japan.

Everyone can be a ticking bomb and take innocents life for no reason.

I actually feel safer in countries where you know where not to go, who to avoid.

Greenpeace is greenwashing as well while focusing on planes and nuclear power forgetting about road traffic, coal, boats, datacenters ...

Jjapanese greenwashing ...

Soon after, fukubukuro and tons of wrapping paper and plastic bags ...

Let's focus on the fact that the government here is killing the industry keeping the borders closed.

So many efforts asked to an industry that only represents 2% of the global warming.

Meanwhile your Netflix datacenters and your latest Gucchi outfits are polluting more than you think !

Always date in public first.

An acquaintance means it was not the first time they met.

long covid is tiresome

Does anyone else find it a bit sad and needy, that a group of people need to crow about the fact that their country is in the top three of seven countries?

This group of people is called Kisha club.

Let's also mention we're only talking about the eligible population here ( 12 years old).

Hence it is normal countries with a younger population is less vaccinated.

A ranking of eligible vaccinated population would make more sense.

Yeah, let's take only G7 countries as comparison.

Otherwise Japan would be 26th behing Korea, Spain, Portugal, Chile, Denmark, Belgium, Ireland, Cambodia ...

I don't see the point with this poll.

How a personal feeling can replace serious studies ?

I hope Pan-kun is ok ^^

Japan has really led the way with overcoming the virus. Lockdowns were not necessary. It has been life and work as normal. Well done.

Anti-lockdown strategies didn't work in Netherlands or Sweden, countries which aimed for herd immunity at first. Japan would have done lockdowns if the constitution allowed it.

Many data scientists believed Japan numbers were and are ten times underestimated.

Nothing to praise here.

Boris is gonna hate

Amazing no journalist cares talking about positivity rate or reproduction number, more realistic indicators that don't show any "drop" but a regular decrease along with the increase of vaccination.

Similar pattern in western countries.

Time to stop with the "japanese special model" with numbers cherry picked.

You can't explain anything with partial data.

From the beginning, Japan produces untransparent, incomplete, irregular data.

The decentralized, privated heath system add to the confusion reporting unverified numbers.

No surprise nobody understand the situation.

Remember may 2020 : "the japanese model has defeated the coronavirus" (Abe) ...

Electric vehicles + nuclear power plants is the realistic solution to the global warming and the gasoline importation dependency.
