As I wrote yesterday, Biden will be the 46th. Good riddance to the orang, his enablers. What a real idiocy of self, ego and division that has been finished by The People. An incumbent that FAILED. A loser. Bye!

NO way NEAR to finishing the count. May well continue into tomorrow, the day after. So, time to go... Only 18% of PA early vote counted, Biden wiping Trump all over the floor with early voting. THINK!

Predicted tracking of a tropical cyclone is never 100%, it is a predicted track. QED. It could well bring those winds to the Kanto region.

The article needs to mention winds, it is going to be windy. Approx 50m/s gusts and sustained winds of 35m/s. If it is your first tropical cyclone, read up on them and be ready. Stay safe.

A really pointless “article”, that is conjecture, at best. People are dying, being left seriously ill, economies and lives ruined, and it is this sort of frivolous nonsense that sees our “faith” in the “news” tested. Why even post this? Seriously.

Medieval Japan began to fall away with the spread of empirical knowledge during the Tokugawa period, it was a very gradual process -- perhaps even continuing! -- to suggest Japan came to be “enlightened” due to the return of power to the imperial house in 1868 and suddenly emerged from a “medieval” period is not correct. It is interesting though, that there are as of yet no records as to what happened in Osaka at the time of this mass grave. I look forward to what the scientists uncover.

Posted in: If you got tested today for the coronavirus and the result turns out negative, that doesn’t mean you won’t get it next week. So should people be tested regularly? See in context
False Negative Tests for SARS-CoV-2 Infection are posing a real problem. Diagnostic tests (typically involving a nasopharyngeal swab) can be inaccurate in two ways. A false positive result erroneously labels a person infected, with consequences including unnecessary quarantine and contact tracing. False negative results are more consequential, because infected persons — who might be asymptomatic — may not be isolated and can infect others. We still know so very little about this virus. Always error on the side of caution.

More nations are seemingly prepared to “live” with COVID-19. Yet, people MUST apply the New Life in order for that to be successful, yet, well, for some old habits dies hard. Japan, with bowing, automatic doors, an established mask culture and more was seemingly well positioned in the first place, BUT, well, how are host/hostess clubs essential? @Bernard, you need to go back to the UK.
