In_japan comments

I think most of the algorithms, system and software used are outdated. Since CPUs cost has down drastically, They should upgrade system and algorithm to predict more accurately. These days we can buy supercomputer equivalent system of 1990s. Tidal wave 2.5 earlier? And calculation difference of 4-5m in Tohoku case is no joke.

Everyday I see lot of "JT-experts" comments and complaints in here. I don't think anyone can/has ability to stop virus infection in open environment specially with moving homo-sapiens around with diverse logic and creative brain. If it is difficult to understand; Border restriction will decrease the inflow of virus-carrier into the country. Vaccination will reduce the overflow of patients in hospitals. Mask will reduce the number of virus that enters into our system (similar to border control) Which will prevent infection as it takes certain amount of virus to start infection. Alcohol ban means less crowd and go home early you should be happy "unless". Remote/Tele working means less travel, less exposure. Its true that what politicians do is only talk-talk very "committed talk" but as a good citizen/human one should follow, read science article and do their own part.

@JT-Experts

Those people did smart things in early days of their life, made future secured; instead of commenting on JT... like me ;D. Don't get sour.

Very talented player but full of pride (different kind). Law is law deport him. The law was set before his visa was set. He/his agent provided false info. He could have avoided all this saga just by being more humble to immigration officials. Learn from Federer, Sampras, Nadal, Stefi so on...

981 is just an official number the real number might be more as instant PCR is not possible unless emergency. Walk-in PCR is not available and one must reserve time-slot for PCR test, which currently takes 2-3 days. It's sad to see that a mere PCR takes so much time. BTW PCR/RT-PCR is the basic and easiest part of molecular biology. Wake up Japan. Start investing in science and technology too.

The headline should be; Okinawa logs 130 covid-19 cases overtaking Tokyo (103).

Robbery in daylight.

At present Japan can't boycott China, no matter what. They have invested heavily on a industry called "tourism" and more than 60% of tourist is from China. Japanese auto industries have also invested in China. In next few weeks we are going to hear all types of diplomatic and confusing speech but at the end Japan will join China.

@ No deaths from Omicron so far...

Maybe virus has learned that killing host is no good. So only selected sequences which is enough to complete its life purpose more efficiently. Or maybe it has yet to hit the poor economy. The most death from Delta variant was not due to virus but was due to lack of O2 cylinders, ventilators and ICU beds.

Last week's water tumbler was not enough...Hold my Ashahi.. I gotta bigger one :D... seriously?

Accident happens, but as a responsible person/ military/ marine they should know that that bottle will be more than enough to kill someone from certain height. It was fortunate that nobody got hurt. Okinawa is not a warzone or desert area, It's a city. You guys should be more careful.

Everything has its limit, everything will come to its end. Just keep testing public patience.

Increasing wages, results increase in health insurance, pension and income tax. Even 100yen/day increment does more damage to working class. Govt basically instructing companies to pay them indirect way. If you are so worried about working class please give them tax break. Also, if you insist companies to increase wage please consider to increase income rage for tax calculations too (*lets do your part first).

@Good' Purchaser has 8 kids.

LMAFO!!!! brilliant

He should take three or more ministries, why only two? He can have "workaholic" fun for a week. I am serious... ...*laughs sarcastically. LOL @ Yubaru.

Just wait and see job description will change over time. That's how its done here.

5 Episodes so far... Its really entertaining, thrilling, exciting and sometimes funny. Good work to the squid team. Only the blood splattering part is little too much.

I laughed very hard. A-so!

After carefully reading all the comments made by Mr. Shunsuke Kobayashi, chief economist at Mizuho Securities Co.

I gave up hope on humanity.

Your govt made Tourism the top priority to boost economy, kept yen on check. Hotels and roadways were constructed exponentially. While budget on research, science and development were cut down. Ever wonder why Japan was unable to produce its own vaccine? 90% of mask, medicine available in market are foreign made. Those days are gone when there use to be a mark "made in Japan". Except bunch of car and heavy industry companies Japan is hollowed out from inside. J-gov only cared for tax. Tourist will bring money, 1000yen /head. More hotels/restaurant more part timers, more tax, more import of foods/goods more import tax. The whole thinking is a mess.

Now the yen is at lowest but there is nothing to export. slow clap!

A Japanese government spokesman dismissed the criticism, saying the country's justice system has procedures in place to protect individuals' rights while cases are being investigated.

What rights? Please elaborate.

He is suppose to do a PM's job not LDP/election promotion.

Few months back there was a news on JT about closing Petroleum refinery up north due to low demand (fishy*). Finally its paying off to oil corps.

Good thing is, its still available unlike some countries. Time to go fully hybrid at least.

Just lower the consumption tax for few years. We'll be glad.

Agriculture? One of the hardest sector to get in (startup wise).

Lucky to be within that 50%. Hopefully, we'll cross 90% soon and life will be back as use to be.

Well, If the Government says it it must be true. Ha!

You should visit a vaccination center. 200-300 people getting vaccinated per hour like some sort of robotic assembly line. Also, I think the data is automatic updated due to barcode thing. It ain't manual.

Why only bed? please use the whole Olympic village as covid-19 facility

vaccine priority for teachers

What a quick response and great thinking from opposition. Dyaaum!

Chinese rejecting "Made in China-Japan"... rofl

Japan seriously need a new business used-unwashed-UGs
