Must be hard to get out of these bowls after your drunk

I guess the Virus is like Dexter. At 8pm it goes "tonight's the night"

Hong Kong and Singapore are reporting just 50 new cases a day and have already closed down bars , clubs , karaoke and have implemented strict social distancing measures . While here we are seeing 200 + cases a day ( 261 Today btw )and no restrictions in place what so ever. Do nothing or go all in ! This game of low testing and slow response would make this pandemic here for a very very long time .

A lockdown is imminent but do not panic yet. Half of the recent daily cases are linked to clusters and imported cases. A lockdown will get into effect when an overshoot happens because there are too many untraceable cases. We will not get into a NY scenario for now.

I have seen the Hokkaido governor in action more than Tokyo's. And its still "urging" , so people wont listen anyways. No social distancing happening either ,masks are hard to get ,more untraceable clusters appearing - Its going south soon in Tokyo

oops..

Wow more restrictions to already confused citizens of the world. "Hi boss I am going on a months leave" - Travel to a country and get quarantined for 2 weeks, get released,fly back and get quarantined for 2 weeks.

Release it on Netflix..

Thats why its important to keep cashflow in check and have a reserve for 6-12 months worth of working capital .Just taking on a pile debt and hoping for constant cash flows will fail during emergencies such as this.

If Japan was heavily under testing or under reporting of possible cases, why haven't the deaths from the virus increased dramatically ? As you can see in the case of Korea and Italy now. Or is it just a matter of time? Btw I dont see many people coughing on my daily commutes ,which makes me to think infection is not a pandemic here yet. I might be wrong..

"Stress at home" is his excuse? lol . With all the corona news going around this made me smile a bit in the morning

Shouldnt we then start restricting korean,iranian and italian nationals as well? There is no end to this if countries start banning in this manner..

Ok so one more diamond cruise passenger tests positive once back in Israel. So this plan has failed horribly and we will see the repercussions in the coming weeks in Japan.

There you go !

"2 new cases in Australia, passengers of the Diamond Princess cruise ship".- Oops,is this true?

Well the US just issued a travel advisory for Japan and other countries might soon follow if more cases appear. Tourists , are you still upbeat? Geez...

If any one of the passengers that left the ship and currently quarantined in their country test positive in the coming days, it will be a direct link to say the governments plan has failed. Wait and watch this space!

He probably was on Nintendo switch the entire 12 days

People trying to berate the system and run away from the virus while there are medical staff and personnel risking their lives to keep you all safe. Trust the system,take precautions and leave the rest to your immunity and fate. Neftlix and chill..

whatever the race no bashing doctors and healthcare workers please. They are our only front line for this outbreak and are risking their own lives too. Respect!

Test the remaining Japanese passengers and quarantine those infected in hospitals. Let other nationals be evacuated by their respective countries.

and yet life seems normal on the streets of tokyo. Is one supposed to feel more worried or less?

Is there a reason why Japan hasn't closed its borders for all people from china , like what US and Australia have done? we have flights coming in everyday with passengers possibly carrying the virus with no initial symptoms. How will you stop this spread??

From SCMP - around 9000 people from Wuhan landed at Narita Airport between December 30 and January 21 before the lockdown . Tokyo is compromised already.

How about a Cloud Architect?

Either way, I am never boarding a 737 MAX again ...

Failure of the auditing committee . Time and Time again these events make me think the worthiness of these committees in corporations.

Glad to see a Foreign CEO push the boundaries in a Japanese company .

However, with Takeda's share price falling almost 20% since March and the shire shareholders to receive .839 new takeda shares, I dont really see much of a return for the shire shareholders. With a huge debt coming onto takeda's balance sheet and heavily relying on Shires Hemophilia, they might pull it off if they spin off some assets and reduce the workforce. Very Very risky deal indeed but for now the advisers and bankers are all opening bottles of Champagne.

Probably a good investment as long as Rajeev Misra stays with Softbank ......
