The Japanese Government is ‘considering’ floating the idea of not asking.

a Japanese friend of mine tells me actual decisions generally take around 25 years to implement.

so folks think for yourselves

China Russia - Russia China = no difference. Playground bullies both of them. Time to boycott China

Time magazine list - Biden and Harry very negative influences both have made fools of themselves

‘Deaths of young people soar’ as usual half the story. No mention of how many died abandoned by the hospitals left at home. That is where the failure is.

"There is not a single COVID policy that can be praised, and whatever comes out of the government comes out hollow," said the 47-year-old nurse said. This nurse would clearly do a better job than any member of ldp

Well said Murakami san. Are you journalists without a backbone not embarrassed

So 2,226 people gather and wait for 354 tickets. No problem they are wearing masks ! Well done koike

incidentally one has grey hair

Securing hospital beds and temporary medical facilities - who can be impressed when this should have happened 15 month’s ago

All family and friends fine with AZ. No need to be negative

@tokyoite Tokyo not Japan. Kanagawa -Osaka are not hiding real figures

@ Michael Machida. Why doesn't Japan build new hospitals? Why doesn't Japan build temporary hospitals due to COVID? Why are hospitals legally able to turn people away? Why keep voting for incompetent JGov. Why not ASK questions.

Shinkansen- I hope at least 100 follow your advice at get treatment

@syzyguy if you don’t mind I will disagree with you. Never mind the science - never mind your comment !

Kentarogaijin Japan did not deport her so Japan was responsible for her. If you sign up to support human rights you cannot then behave like NK

Kamikawa I will accept your resignation. Those at the top should accept their responsibility. Behavior of a third world country indeed

@hiro a very long list- you forgot to mention the multitude of brown envelopes

Many good comments here. @ Hideomi Kuze is spot on

all governments lie. J gov do not care about their people at all

If anyone says ‘do as I say not as I do’ then I complain, but then I am not Japanese

I will not respond to the silly comments today.

Would the numbers be this high now if the government had been competent in getting us the vaccine?

answer - NO

Just like many many others I wonder what the true number is. Of course we will never know

I have absolute contempt for a J gov and hospitals system that treat ANY patient in this manner.

Well done. A direct flight to Poland would have been too risky with such dictators around

@Larry flint at 0505. Correct because these so called leaders are going to destroy the reputation of Japan with their incompetence

Japan is about to expand SOE - but but the horse has already bolted.

At 3,865 I blame J gov and media before the people. This was so obviously the result of inept government

GdTokyo delighted to hear you will soon get 2nd vaccination.

Please bear in mind opening ceremony not started yet

We did I it for the athletes - Of course you did ! We all believe you

I wish I could say I was surprised 1,387. If the light is at the end of the tunnel - perhaps it’s a reflection !

Airlines asked to halt new bookings.

Oh I get it- I am not in Japan and it will not be Tokyo 2020 Olympics. It is the ‘mad hatters tea party’ and I am somewhere else entirely.
