It is worrisome. Winter is also in the corner. The stringent testing requirements should be relaxed.

The place is just behind the Hongo campus of our university. Therefore, I can guarantee that it is an isolated incident; Yes, we must remain vigilant even in Tokyo. I think we should not equate crime with poverty.

We can not/must not blame Japan for an isolated incident.@Do the hustle.

Which are the countries that are under consideration for level 2 advisory ? Really getting annoyed with this virus.

India is testing at an average of 1.1 million per day. It is still less. However, Anybody wants a test can get one and it is free in govt hospitals. 83000 is a small number when you consider the size of the population, and population density in urban areas. For example, if the USA can have 70 k cases per day during its peak, or France having more than 10 K, it is quite expected in India to have a large number of cases. The virus is just started spreading in rural India, and therefore, it will continue to grow for some time at least at this pace. Now 2/3 of the cases are from tier 2, 3 cities, and villages.

Today UN is irrelevant. The presence of Britian and France as permanent members does not make any sense.

As long as the number of cases is in continuous decline, it is fine. I think, Japan so far, handled the pandemic much better way than almost all other countries, except China.

Japanese people are doing a great job in containing the spread of the virus. The test positivity rate is always lower than 5 %.

India does not have a proper death counting mechanism in all places. It is estimated that the death count is 3-5.2 times higher than what is reporting.

Does it mean Universities will also open from tomorrow?

Yeah, Unless reported, numbers do not go up.
