It’s “Wrong Way Charlie”

(MAS*H reference)

is It out of 2000 tests again?

 1,297 down from last Friday

Amazing achievement. No other country, let alone city, has managed this kind of drop …without doing it magically.

PCR test numbers for Tokyo vs Osaka?

Less testing again, that’s all. People are realizing the numbers for Tokyo just don’t add up when you look at the increase in deaths.

Numbers from not purposely reduced testing

Numbers that include data from private testing clinics as requested by the opposition party

Is it still true that case numbers are only from government testing sites and not from private testing facilities?

And is it not true that the movement of people is increasing while the case numbers are reported to be decreasing?

And if positivity rates are increasing, then how can the case numbers be decreasing?

Nothing adds up. We need to be writing to foreign news agencies and asking them to investigate how the numbers are arrived at in Japan.

759 last Friday.

Down 61 from last Friday despite the 1027 yesterday and reported increased mobility of people. This is not only unlikely, it is impossible. Removal and reduction of test sites to make the numbers appear lower?

Shame on you LDP. I hope a reckoning comes.

Where are the numbers of tests? You did not include this information yesterday, either.

30% of those tested returned positive results this time. The number is increasing very quickly.

That’s 10% of those tested for the virus testing positive. Most states in the US are at about 5%.

7% of those tested for the virus are testing positive. That’s double the rate in New York City. Brace for it.

572/1428= 40%!

it’s usually 5% or thereabouts.

40% is very alarming.

I wonder why the weekend results show about 8% of those tested testing positive and the weekday positive cases are 5% usually. Did they forget to manipulate the numbers on weekends?

35%

That’s 8.4% of those tested that are testing positive - up from the 6% last week. Obviously the low testing rates make the data less representative of the entire population but shouldn’t we be talking percentages? Even with less virus cases reported today, numbers are continuing to rise.

Even the Japanese people I’ve spoken to don’t believe the government is reporting the real numbers. Tests are limited, results are capped. Only results from tests done through the healthy insurance system are counted. Even 6% is alarming, however. Multiply that by the population. The economy, the Olympics and reelection take priority over the health and lives of the people.

Who would have thought encouraging people to travel around the country would spread the virus? Here is what should be an easy question: During a pandemic what should you do? Self isolate or move around the population?

Once more corruption and private interests trumps common sense.

Encouraging people to move around the country during a pandemic defies belief. The reported numbers are lower than what the actual numbers because of limited testing, vetted numbers and delayed results. The system testing centers must use to report numbers is still largely analog and complicated and is passed through the government. How are we to know if they provide the public with real statistics? This is how the government attempts to make Japan seems safe for the Olympics. The economy is of course important but not at the cost of the health of the population.

To be eligible for the exemption, returning travelers will need to limit their overseas trips to within seven days, and for the first 14 days upon their return refrain from using public transportation and save their smartphone GPS data to aid in contact tracing, as well as submit an itinerary detailing their plans during that time.

So you still have to quarantine if you have been out of the county for more than 7 days?

This is good news but let’s not kid ourselves. The government’s only motivation is to have people travel MORE in order to revive the economy. I find it very hard to find evidence in the news of the government trying to curb the spread. It seems they are doing everything possible to spread it - all for the precious yen. Business travels not being required to quarantine as an example.

How about the reporter who told Motegi not to be condescending when he dodged answering a question about the discriminatory double standards set for foreigners returning to Japan? Even though he set the rule he told her to ask immigration. Unfortunately she was not allowed to ask follow up questions to get a real answer. After dismissing her question he spoke down to her again saying 分かりました？答え分かりました？ even without having answered it.

You cannot force your "moral standards" on others.

Compassion and a disgust of needless killing of creatures in such a barbaric way (herded up and clubbed to death swimming in the blood of other dolphins) is a humane reaction. It’s not about forcing moral standards on others. These moral standards should not need to be forced on others. They are a sense of right and wrong all decent people are born with. They are the moral standards of any human with compassion. If you don’t understand this then you are without it.

As well as being ignorant of international law and moral standards, people who cannot see how abhorrent this is we’re born without compassion. And yes this is a real phenomenon. Ask yourself if you feel for other people and animals in trouble and you’ll know if you are a decent human being or not. Citing traditional is no excuse for how barbaric and cruel this is.

Abhorrent

Restrictions have been ADDED not loosened. Even residents who left before the ban now need to apply at their local embassy and provide that letter to immigration upon arrival.

I’m going to post this here too.

300 per day 300 per day with little exponential rise. These numbers are fake.

For whatever reason, Olympics, public panic, national reputation, a silent culling of the elderly who draw on the pension system, Koike is manipulating these figures. She states 2 when there are 40, for example. The public and the world have the right to know what the real situation is.

The article below proves this yet it was not widely reported.

Every new virus case has to be faxed in. There is no digital record of the real numbers that way.

Now restrictions have been ADDED to permanent residents who left before the ban. Anyone reentering will need both a letter from the Japanese consulate and a PCR test results letter obtained 72 hours before flying in order to reenter.

Did anyone read this article about Koike manipulating the numbers of virus cases, saying there are 2 in Shinjuku when there are really 40?

It is way to early to be traveling anywhere, the only cautious thing to do is stay home.

Dear Nishimura,

In order to limit the spread of Covid-19 reduce population mobility.

To spread the virus, increase population mobility.

Sincerely,

Every rational person on the planet
