I cancelled my trip back home because of their stupid quarantine rules but media gets a free pass??? The government treats their tax payers like crap!

Absolute BULL. Why dont they have to do the 14 day quarantine be the rest of us do??? DOUBLE STANDARD!

You don't have to wear a mask in Japan.

Medical staff is not required by any laws to take COVID-19. A lot of medical staff refused to take the medical experimental shot. It's good to see people make informed health decision by themselves.

Talk about an oxymoron of a headline.

Some things never change.

Japan is seen as a piggy bank for most countries

Please no

Who is the publisher? Kind of weird reporting it without naming the source of the ad.

Considering it's out of a population 126 million, not enough to get hysterical.

The Bolsheviks are back putting lipstick on their pig before they try their violent revolution again.

Marxist always used environment as their excuse for power.

The goal of no government is impossible.

Marx theory is so bunk but these guys keep digging it up again and dress it up with new words but it's always the same result.

I don't understand the reason to hold it if it doesn't door anything for the economy

The whole point of the olympics has been totally missed by the japanese government. We'll be paying for this disaster indefinitely.

No one asked for it it 10 years ago and now one is asking for it today.

A required mrna shot to travel has not been around for decades.

"We have to consider because other countries are forcing this on their populations."

This is absolutely disgusting.

I guess people who do not want to put the experimental mrna shot in their body will be prisoners of their own ccountry.

Lets see if the Japamese people stands for this.

Coronavirus RELATED deaths

Perfect picture or orwellian double speak. The work equality on a mask.

What about china?

Cut carbon emissions and blast carbon emissions in different countries with no scrubbers. Increasing pm2.5 and cancer.

Japan is not the problem, no is America. It's china and all the globalist companies that go to produce their products with countries that have low regulation and pollute the earth while they virtue signal about race all day.

Corporate greed = earth day

Restaurants and bars should ignore these requests. If people want to take a risk and enjoy life, let them. If you want to hide in your house because youre afraid of getting sick, do as you please.

The japanese people are sick of the media and government fer mongering setting the precedent that they decide when and how you are allowed to enjoy life.

Give me freedom or give me death. Literally.

Jaspc, doctors only wore them when they were doing surgery. That's why they are call surgical mask. They have not been wearing them all day everyday. Have you ever been to a hospital pre covid?

I wasn't saying listen to your body instead of seeing a doctor. Your making no sense. For example, maybe you take up smoking in the 1940s and the doctor recommended you a certain brand, but if you listened to your body (it's a figure of speech) you would realize that they are not good for you. Or your working out and your knees start to hurt, maybe you should stop working your knee. It does not mean you physically put your ear against your knee to understand to stop working out.

It's common english expression. Listen to your body.

That's not even a good analogy

Government has broken the social contract. They are becoming tyrannical and setting the president to who gets to operate a business and who goes bankrupt and not.

They have over reached their role in our lives. Japan being not as bad as other countries but this is a world issue. The virus is not the problem, the problem is the media and the governments and all you folks hooraying in big tyrannical government hiding behind their "experts" and "doctors". I know doctor that absolutely disagree with what the government is doing.

Freedom is more important than your fear of living.

I don't need a study to know masking is unhealthy. All you have to do is listen to your body after wearing a mask all day, rather than the fear pushing media. It isn't healthy.

Mask don't work and prolong usage is bad for your health.

People must resist this medical tyranny. It not the governments job to decide when and when not people are allowed to have a life.

If you check the data you can see that the peak was last week and the numbers have been flat and starting to reduce. Such good timing to make it look like magical government saved everyone. I bet they feel like rock stars. They are so disconnected from the average Japanese person who is sick of these SOE. I hope this political bet is a loss for the Mayor. But it won't really matter because people usually vote for who their companies push on them.

This is just political. There's an election coming up soon. The numbers would have gone down anyway once the weather warms up and the rainy season begins.

Now the mayor of osaka can campaign and say how he worked so hard to get the SOE. I guess his team think this is what his voter base wants, which is mostly old people addicted to the television.

This is just a ploy for re-election. The numbers will go down anyway after the spring fluctuation of temperature goes away. They can say the mayor did something and contained the virus when it really is just nature.

The numbers will go down by the end of April when the weather gets warmer. The frequency of the temperature changes in the beginning of spring is causing people and has always cause people to get the flu. No state of emergency should be called but they know that if they call it before the numbers go down naturally they can say how great of a job they did. As if people want to hide in their houses and bankrupt more small businesses. These politicians are detached from reality. They watch too much TV and consume too much media fear propaganda.

I won't be participating in the experimental shot. I'll wait to see what happens to peoples health after the next 5 years. Good luck!

No bokuda. You must have bad info. To even get considered to stay in a hospital you must be subject to a pcr test. I was sick with some bacterial infection last year, almost died, but I had to do pcr test before getting a bed. That hospital was practically empty.

Your right Monty. And I think the only people that don't get it is the media because Japanese people definitely get it. People are out and about enjoying their lives. It's only the media that is in the land of make believe and their very few followers.
