Posted in: COVID vaccination requests at work pose worry in Japan's booster push See in context
In a serious country the medical record is confidential ... Why does your boss have to know if you are vaccinated or have a type of disease? It was a fatal mistake to let companies directly vaccinate employees, now they have medical data of their employees to press them.

Posted in: Japan extends entry ban on non-resident foreigners until end of February: Kishida See in context
My coworkers landed to Narita (living in Mie) he guessed that he was going to do quarantine in hotel in Tokyo but surprisingly, he was transported to a hotel in Fukkuka! Because there was not rooms available in Tokyo. A madness!
Nobody provided any explanation or reason. And the most funny was that after finishing the hotel quarantine he was transportated again to Narita! All this system of quarantine is a incredible spend of money from our taxes...
I am very annoyed about this situation because a Japanese can travel to US or EU freely and they don't have pass this calvary. I hope that finally all embassies received enough complains to do something in group.

Posted in: Vaccine chief Kono blames drug approval system for slow inoculation drive See in context
This the clear example that of the problem having a health system based in private clinics and hospital.
When you have a sanitary crisis you don't have capacity to do anything because almost ALL your resources are in private hands...
Clear example now...The government have on stock all large qty of vaccines but they don't have capacity and resources to use them. Basically all bureaucrats are trying to move the problem blaming to other. Nothing new.
