@Hiro they are already too invested in USD with the amounts of bonds they already own.

Why do people really think large numbers can be hidden?

If the hospitals are overcrowded and large number of people dying, would it even be possible to cover up excerpts from healthcare workers and their family members.

There's no right answer on how to open.

Open too fast and you may have an overloaded healthcare system, too slowly and you suffer economic consequences.

Easy for normal people to just scream at the Government when they don't have to be responsible for the economy or human lives.

I think the million yen is the total and not per person.

Lots of companies are still paying for commuter pass despite working from home.

If you are still getting it then hope your management don't read this article.

@Gajinjland or that he manage to go to space before dying rather than keeping all the money that he won't be able to use now.

All about perspective.

Posted in: New Zealand drops 'COVID zero' goal after Delta outbreak See in context

While it is easy to sit behind a keyboard and judge politicians, at their positions an policy will affect death rates. Freedom always sounds better because those lives are just numbers to most of the general population.

Posted in: Tokyo reports 87 coronavirus cases; nationwide tally 602 See in context

I'm also curious how it is under control so fast.

Few possibilities I can think of is that the spread is way higher than reported the past few months and a large population have immunity in addition to the vaccinated. Another is that the vaccinated and infected have low overlap and contributing to the herd protection. Last is that people just became more concerned when the hospital system collapse.

Well the removal of emergency state will probably be revealing in whether it has anything to do with herd protection.

Ask an escalator engineer and they will recommend against walking while on it.

But good luck implementing it.

Dozens of US drone strikes having civilian casualties.

The wars will always come back as terrorism if US don't apologize or compensate the affected casualties.

And they keep attacking back as "anti terrorism".

@Antiquesaving  He has been suffering from a neurological disorder since he was a child.

He's a very talented person, writes his own songs, compose his own music and then plays and sings them.

Posted in: S Korea bans app payment monopolies in world first See in context

While i agree with the payment system options for the store, but the commission one is fair game. There are other platforms available and the creators can just adjust their pricing on the high commission platforms to match profits on the other platforms. The government should just collect the taxes from these commissions and then create policies to support these industries.

Posted in: Police officer fatally shoots man threatening him with saw See in context

Somehow people think it is easy to actually aim for arms and legs on someone on approach.

Warning shot have been fired and I believe they have the right to protect themselves and others if one poses threat regardless of that person's age.

Most countries still restrict travel and those who open up too fast without taking into account of Delta are already suffering.

Posted in: Toddler fatally shoots woman during work video call in Florida See in context

I really wonder if toddlers are able to get leverage and strength to squeeze the trigger.

It could be just a freak accident but a loaded gun not set to safe in a reachable location to a toddler while having the stength to squeeze that trigger is very unlikely.

Posted in: To say ‘get vaccinated’ when there are no vaccines available shows that she has no understanding of the situation at the local level. See in context

Tokyo is a big area, some wards do still have vaccines and stock is always still coming in but slowly, it is still right to ask people to get vaccinated despite the slow restock rate.

Roll it out too fast and people will say they are testing vaccines on the population, too slowly and they say why is the roll out so slow.

There's really no winning both ways.
