“...The prime minister was coming under pressure to add a 100,000 yen ($935) payment to every citizen on top of a $1 trillion economic stimulus package that includes a 300,000 yen payment to households whose income has fallen because of the pandemic.”

Does this sound familiar, too? Follow the money...

I am really surprised by the low numbers, considering how densely packed their cities are. Ever seen their subways. ..

The workers say, “excuse me while I push you and wrench your back..”

I thought Japan already dealt with it.

They mostly have, but there are people, many younger that do not wear masks base don what my stepdaughter is relaying to me.

Contact tracing is also proving to be an issue, as some people do not want to disclose where they have been. Which means several choices:

Hostess clubs
Cabaret clubs
Pink salons
Fashion health
Soaplands

I think the WHO and their lackeys have finally decided that it was necessary to panic the Japanese. They’re not following the narrative.

One of the first contacts traced in Singapore was a hooker.

2% chance of death from virus, 100% chance of death from wife...

Ah, some oshiya!

Not so much any more, again from what one relative says. She says trains are not this full any longer, as many people work from home.

Looks like Japan doesn’t want Trump re-elected either.

Oh wait, does that make any sense?

Maybe they minimized it while they were trying to save the Olympics? They have of course an elderly society with lots of muligenerational households and Tokyo with a larger and even denser population than NYC with even more crowded subways.

But yeah, sounds as if they are going with the alarmist models for now.

“I thought Japan already dealt with it.”

They were but apparently their measures were doing well and the dam broke.
Now they are fearing the worst. They have some high density urban areas that will be troublesome.

God be with Japan, a very good ally.
