Posted in: Japan to scrap pre-entry COVID test for triple-vaccinated travelers; cap on entrants remains See in context

Choosing to allow people who have had three -- or more -- shots, shows the character of said person. It demonstrates their approach to C19 and how they behave. That'll be a reason as to why this criteria has been chosen.

The LDP does have a solitary iota of care for ordinary citizens, it feathers its 70+ yr old nest and is the very definition of cronyism. Abe's parties for the blossom alone would equate to more than 50K JPY. The money given to the construction industry? JTB? THAT advertising company? TEPCO?

Disgusting.

"The use of chemical agents to reduce radioactive substances from the contaminated water in the sedimentation process produces a muddy material resembling shampoo. Strontium readings of the generated slurry sometimes reach tens of millions of becquerels per cubic centimeter."

Sr 90 is particularly nasty, the body "thinks" it is calcium so absorbs it deep within bone marrow where it can cause cancers of the bone, bone marrow, and soft tissues around the bone. This disaster hasn't even started.

A quieter, less crowded Japan has been a wonder. Feels just like it did in the early 90s -- minus the loose socks.

From Category 1 to Category 5 in and under 24hrs is becoming the new norm. Not good. To everyone affected, I am thinking of you.

Again, no requirement for a sprinkler system brings disaster. The Myojo 56 building fire

in Kabukicho, the Kyoto Animation's Studio 1 building fire, etc.

Posted in: WHO, U.S. scientists say Omicron no worse than other virus variants See in context

What is any living organisms "objective" (Am not saying viruses have sentience) BUT it is to survive, spreads quicker and is milder? That's evolution for survival. Too virulent, and its hosts will be all dead before it can move on and spread, thus it would die out. Yet, seems a bit early to conclude that is moving towards being a manageable disease like the common cold (Same family of virus), for example.

Good, call out, expose and show those regimes that subject any parts of their populace to suppression, genocide, that it simply will NOT stand. Athlete boycott next.

Against a modern, hi-tech equipped force, tanks, as UK wrote, are redundant. Russia is really reluctant to commit tanks to the Ukraine front, and are even adding "canopy" armament to their tanks to try and add protection from Turkish bought drones and other new weapons that make tanks obsolete.

Okinawans are SICK of being used. From WWII onwards, Japanese have only had one interest in Okinawa, their own.

Japan is my home, my family are Japanese, my children have both nationalities "under" the hood. It's a great place if you embrace it for all that is, good and bad. Where is perfect? Exactly.

As often observed: Japan, hi-tech slum. Some of the world's most advanced tech, but, for example, still got millions of homes with click and turn gas water heaters.
