Kitty, please do not confuse the antivaxxer crowd with facts. They know Omicron is less virulent than Delta but they forget way more people are getting infected. Simple math is all that is needed to figure this out but that is beyond the flat earth society types. In Japan the deaths per day are climbing now as well.

Cheese. Whisky. Cheese. Clotted cream. Cheese. Crumpets. Cheese.

Cleo, you forgot cheese. But good that you mentioned whiskey. What about Kilkenny, oh sorry that is Irish.

Is he bringing his girlfriend on the trip and charging the governmeny like he has done before?

All night party at the British Embassy. Bring your own booze

Masks not on dress code. Bonus points for infecting three additional people.

Omicron in Japan took off around USA military bases as the incoming soldiers were not tested and allowed into the country without any safety measures. With borders in total lockdown for non-citizens and long quarantines Japan was doing its best to stop the spread of disease but they let the USA military for some reason flout all the rules that the rest of us had to carry out. Boom, Omicron started community spread around the bases and now people are getting sick and in some cases dying. Japan and the USA military has blood on its hands no question.

There is no reason Japan needs the USA military in the country any longer. This stopped making sense decades ago. Okinawa would be far better off without the USA military on the islands. Same for Korea and the hundreds of other countries around the world that have useless USA bases.

Science is incredible. Much more interesting that stories in the old Bronze Age books and also based in reality to boot.

60s and early 70s without question. 80s was abysmal. Top twenty worst songs of all time and ten are from the 80s topped by We Built this CIty. Ouch. Case closed. Only innovation to come out of the 80s was rap.

Do agree that there is good music today but you need to look for it. Autotune has killed popular music.

wow, another example of how low smokers go to defend their right to give others cancer. Like they will die from eventually. No better than a heroin addict these smokers are. Kids around them and all they care about is getting their fix. Hope this criminal goes into a smoke free prison for quite a long while.

El Cajon, CA.

Brings back memories of the Tokyo Olympics except at that time the borders were wide open for tens of thousands of visitors who were allowed to bypass normal safety protocols.

He may be great on the court but in real life this guy is a loser. He will not get vaxxed so may be banned from all tournaments going forward now that he has become the hero for the sadly deluded flat earth society.

Great, no more coddling the stupid and letting them clog up the hospitals crowding out people who are ill not by choice as is the case with the anti-vaxxers losers. Pubic health concerns are more important than stupid behavior by the deluded. Society makes these rules all the time to protect us all from harm. Think auto insurance for example.

What a spectacle Djokovic has made of himself. And his follies have overshadowed his sport now and not for the better obviously. He is a buffoon and an admitted liar. He applied for his visa when he was positive for COVID. Just amazingly arrogant and stupid. But not atypical of the anti-science crowd which he now has become the WW leader. Guess he replaces Kyrie Irving, who also believed the earth was flat until recently.

The fact that the vaccines don't stop transmission is a massive disappointment.

Time to grow up and take science seriously. Oh, and wear a mask to protect yourself and others from you.

The overwhelming negativity towards Novak just shows how staggeringly effective the fear campaign has been for Covid.

No surprise when others put your life at risk because they are stupid and/or afraid of getting a jab.

It was not insufficient, it was non-existent as Omicron was ramping up in the USA. USA military was flying on civilian flights untested unlike everyone else on the plane as required by the Japan government. Today the USA had one million reported infections, the highest one day today ever recorded. Okinawa will suffer now because of this crime against the people of Okinawa.

Another ancient driver runs someone over, when will this stop? Police should randomly pull over old people and check them for driving ability, not to mention if they have a license. This carnage the roads at the hands of the ancient in Japan has to stop. It is so easy to spot the incompetent driver out there on the road and nearly all of them, other than the BMW drivers, are old like this criminal.

Just treat the USA Military like Olympic athletes and everything will go beautifully, those were some good times last August. For the virus that is.

Gold Metal Disaster is much more accurate.

Wow, that is some cheese. Guess from artist POV better to have money up front for himself and his family.

Boris, keep that stuff at home.

More empty houses than occupied ones in rural areas, that tells you everything you need to know.

These new tiny countries may find it tough going alone

They will not miss being exploited by GB and the atrocity of slavery forced on the island under GB ownership.

He could have been many things but one thing he was for sure was too old to drive. Most driving deaths now are caused by older drivers. All of you see them every day on the road, stopping at green lights, driving half the speed limit, weaving into other lanes and hitting other cars-I have seen directly myself. Old guy just drifted out of his lane right into another car. He was clearly both physically and mentally impaired. And there are tens of thousands of them on the roads in Japan too stubborn to stop driving, and the government does really nothing cause old people vote. Results, people get run over by old folks like in this story. Mostly men too Iit seems are the murders.

The government should put the kids of this coger in jail as well. That would put an end to these needless deaths.

Junya looks like a character out of Star Trek, the original series.

They should run the woman as that is the only way to stand out. However when I read that Ozawa was still involved in this party after all these years I knew that this party remains doomed.

And yet the Japanese people recently voted into power once again the government that has robbed them over the last 30 years while transferring massive funds to the nuclear, construction and military industries.

When will people wake up in this country and put new leaders in place to address income inequality in Japan which is accelerating year by year.

Young people in Japan vote the same as older people anyway unfortunately. That is why the LDP opened up voting to 18 year olds.

Meta World Peace should sue Facebook. For those that do not remember, look up the former Ron Artest.

Sven,

As a male you have that already, 90% of Professors are male in Japan. You know who does not have equal opportunity, women. Period.

and asked them to instead enjoy Halloween at home.

Would someone explain to the Mayor what Halloween is.
