Common Japan, I know there is some good news in there somewhere!!!

Open the econmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Why does no one ever listen to me?

Looks hot

Yeah right

"Fujitsu are masters of wasting time"

Errr, case rates are trending up, in countries operating with a 21st century mindset, you lock down at this stage?

dbsaiya,

have a think about it

Is anything in Japan going well?

Time to partay, in Kabukicho, with no mask, yew!!!

Time to get some competent people running the show.

@erbravia? What are you talking about?

How would it work when there is almost no test data to compare it with. It's crazy how unconsolidated the views and initiatives of the diet are. First they announce they're doing away with any plans of blanket test programs, then announce a contact tracing app?

It's really quite spectacular.

Where's my money bro

Don't whinge when it loses money and the treasury has to print money to keep the industry afloat.

More nothing to come.

Does anyone see the issue here?

Japan isn't even trying to "battle the pandemic" yet is printing money to save the economy. Why not just do the proper testing, rebuilding consumer confidence and prosper.

All I see is a bunch of old servants sitting in the Diet making up stories about the situation, just have some courage and address the issue.

"Age of entitlement"

No one cares because it's all a political stunt anyway.

"Chinese students will suffer because their government has a lot of issues"

How about...just addressing the problem?

Is it just me, or does everything the government here do seem frustrating, it's like they operate in a permanently frustrating, pathetic manner on every issue?

Shame they don't test everyone else like this

Why are they so dumb?

Abe-san dons the pussy hat yet again!!!

"I don't side with the view that everyone should take PCR tests regardless of their conditions. The key is to what extent we conduct these tests, which we're debating now."

That's funny? I don't know why not.

This government is super sad, it's a tragic scene.

The numbers start to go back up, so what happens? Back to "selective testing". It's very disappointing that our taxes pay for a bozo like Nishimura to be in-charge of this response.

All he has to do is look out the window at how well blanket testing has worked for other countries, stop reinventing the wheel and cowardly hiding the truth before he properly bombs out the economy.

Not welcome here!!!

@Bjorn Tomention

So by this info nearly half of the infections are a cluster in a hospital, its not a wide spread outbreak at the moment, stop the panic and the hype !

You could argue having an outbreak in a hospital (you know, the places which should be following strict hygene and safety guidlines) is worse for several reasons. If a hospital can't contain the outbreak, you think a late night ramen store can?

Sorry, but this shouldn't reassure anyone.

Also, you don't need to quote yourself.

I know you're just a troll but:

In any other jurisdiction on Earth with 14 million people, 34 cases would be considered a stunning success

Yeah, I think it's 34 cases out of a small sample of the population lol

@Mirai Hayashi

I agree..the real numbers will never be known, but I also believe that its far higher than what's being reported.

34 today...at this rate, we'll be right back where we started in April, and we'll have repeat the same damn thing over again.

I have no idea how this comment got down voted so hard. It's completely logical and likley this is going to happen, people seem to be getting less intelligent by the day!
