Sad. Sad. Sad. RIP momma! Sadly these are daily events, and this is the norm. If these "kids" moved out at a younger age and made a future for themself these muders would stop happening.

Japan needs to save them for themselves. They will be needing them after the Olympics! Is the Gov't going to tell the citizens later they have no Oxygen because they gave it all away?

Imagine living in a country where the gov't is so HIGHLY uncapable of being able to figure something out, they have to turn to a random joe who has won the Noble Peace Prize. This is so crazy. I can not believe this is actually happening. With the lack of Vaccine distribution, and the recent travel increase there is going to be HUGE increases of cases soon!

Posted in: Japan's unused 14 mil doses of COVID-19 vaccines point to logistical hurdles See in context
But it has inoculated only 1.6% of its population so far, the slowest among wealthy countries.
"Wealthy Countries" People in Japan are not paid well at all compared to the west...The average salary in Japan was $30k in 2019. In the US the average salary was $94k. Japan puts these labels on themselves. This means in Japan if husband and wife work they make less than ¥6 million because woman don't get paid the same...while in America a husband, and a wife both make close to 200k a year.
With that being said..who is wealthy in Japan? Wealthy in Japan is not the same as "Wealthy" in the US.

Japanese executives typically don’t get the big paychecks and stock options some of their American counterparts receive.
Oh, so this situation is more about jelousy, than breaking any laws. There is no law that states you must "state compensation before it is paid". Why you would report compensation PRIOR to issuing the compensation is beyond me. There are other things to worry about right now than how much someone might have been paid.

Posted in: Japan to introduce 'vaccine passports' for international travel See in context
As an IT professional, app developer, I can tell you that every country using a different app, with a different language etc will NOT work. There needs to be ONE app that is used globally. You can't say it can't be done because looks a apps like Itunes, Netflix, Spotify, etc.
Look what happen to the COVID19 tracing app in Japan. The Gov't spent BILLIONS on a App, that didn't even work and was abandoned. I think that Japan should not take the lead on a global app for use. Let the people in Silicon Valley make it, and sell the rights to other countries.

We all know what happens. During the SOE, the numbers go "down". After the SOE, the numbers slowly go back up. Having measures in place for a few weeks does nothing when people go back to their normal lives after the SOE...The J-Gov't has been the most incompetant Gov't I have ever read about. #canceltheolympics.

Japan just needs to surrender (again) and give up the Olympics. They can't even get enough people to give Vaccines, and they want to pull nurses to attend an event that is just going to destroy the Country? The J-Gov't needs to OPEN their eyes and face reality. The olympics need to NOT GO ON!

No one takes the SOE, Virus warnings, etc seriously. In a country that has not been hit as hard as others, it is difficult to convince people to follow REQUESTS. A request is just that..A REQUEST. Daily as I am out and about I see no change in anyones behavior, including my own. COVID-19 is just something that we have to learn to live with.
