Again why should people and companies see a problem? Based on the government numbers very few of the 14 million in Tokyo have covid so not much risk.Īlcohol: why close bars if the government can hold the Olympics pack trains and again officially only a few thousand cases a day in Tokyo, so the thinking is why the big deal. The young: why should they believe their is a danger? The government numbers show just a few thousand cases in a 14 million population of Tokyo so why would they see it as a big deal? Can they get vaccinated? For the most part no because of government incompetency. Young people, trains, alcohol, Olympics: on some level they are all to blame in some direct and indirect way, Let give this junk as little attention as possible as those saying this are delusional. So the lockdown thing isn't the solution but could be a tool in the fight on a smaller local scale if the circumstances are right.Ĭovid isn't dangerous or it is only old and fat people, vaccines are dangerous, etc. then rejoin the world, well here we are August 2021 and they are sit closed and now starting to realise that the idea the rest of us would have this beat and done by now isn't working out. NZ style lockdown: NZ has been closed near 100% since May 2020, it's strategy was to hide in its counter and wait for everyone else to do the job and once everyone else did their job vaccinating, etc. Let's TRY and look at this calmly and logically.
In reality all are and aren't the problems and or solutions. We are going to here calls for lockdown like New Zealand, denials covid is dangerous, the problem is fat and old people, the young people, trains, alcohol, Olympics, masks no mask, testing/not testing, vaccines/no Vaccine, etc.are the problems. Here we go again not just the government and basically useless SOE but the comments here. Please do so, as you will be helping to reduce the spread. Regardless of government policy, most people can increase their own level of protection by altering their behaviour.
Once the vaccinations rise, the severe cases will drop. They give it their best shot according to available resources. There is capacity to move healthcare into large MASH-style buildings with fewer staff monitoring more patients. Other countries have seen their debt rise towards Japanese levels, so how high would Japan's rise?Īnd you can't really lock down.
Supporting a hibernating nation is not cheap. The problem for (elected) politicians is that half the population want a strict lockdown (although they might not appreciate it quite as much when they realise that it means them too, and that their job/business may go), and the other half don't want a lockdown.
