>TOKYO — Japan reported a record number of daily coronavirus infections Thursday, amid a worrying spike in a country that has been spared the worst of the pandemic and hopes to host the Olympics next year.
Compared to many other countries, Japan has done well combatting the virus, reporting just under 2,000 deaths in a nation of 126 million since the pandemic began. But Tokyo saw a record number of single-day cases twice this week, and the Health Ministry said Thursday that the national number hit a record with 2,179 new cases.
That’s the first time Japan has had more than 2,000 daily cases since the pandemic began. The previous high was set Saturday.
Those figures are still quite low compared to many places around the world experiencing dangerous surges, and, while Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga urged the thorough use of masks Thursday, he did not call for reissuing restrictions on travel or business.
>“We must stop further escalation of the infections, no matter what,” Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike told reporters. Koike expressed concerns about rising infections among elderly people, who are at high risk of becoming seriously ill when infected and could strain the medical system.

Japan only tests people if they are hospitalised, their case numbers are complete bs
Kevin Rivera
Japan is handling this shit really badly, worst out of 3 east asian countries.
This might force Japan to wake up.
Aiden Johnson
He's executed by now probably
Chase Bennett
everywhere's open user. No ones masked up while pounding beers or throwing food down the top hatch.
Easton Jackson
No fucking lockdown, Japan is paying the prices for following the murimutt.
John Bennett
That's false. I can call a hotline and request a test right now if I have a cough and temperature.
Compared to who? We have basically same per capita infections as SK and China fakes every number so cannot compare. People forget we have 130m people.
Elijah Taylor
Not really, SK only has 400 dead, their daily infection is just 200 at most, and saying China faking it is just cope.
James Brown
>, reporting just under 2,000 deaths in a nation of 126 million since the pandemic began. AHAHAHAHA This is hilarious THIS IS THE VIRUS EVERYONE IS SO AFRAID OF?
Asher Rogers
Good. Fuck the new world order
Easton Parker
To be fair, it can rack up pretty quickly, USA already over 250 000 dead, and they were joking about muh 80 000 dead over flu early this year.
Also, the lack of confidence also hurts society and the economy where no one knows who's infected or not.
Lincoln Wilson
It's not false, I was there when the outbreak first started spreading and they told people with symptoms to just isolate for 7 days. Also nobody wants to get tested because they can't spend time away from work.
Christopher Miller
You need to look at per capita figures genius. We're doing fine, no globohomo lockdowns for us. We have not had any lockdown since this started.
Angel Thompson
And that's why your daily infection goes up and up and up. >globohomo You are the globohomo's vassal.
Asher Bennett
what does the average japanese man like to eat when they are out pounding beers?
John Parker
Also, I have no doubt if it's America who's telling Japan to not lockdown.
Goddamn even Australia has lockdown.
Brody Gomez
>250k dead from Covid
No
Connor Gonzalez
See, the mutt is already in denial mode.
No, this is not real, it's rigged, it's fake, it squirms.
Jeremiah Sullivan
Are you talking about March-April? Sure maybe? Who fucking cares? It is almost December now. You can get a test easily since summer through a hotline.
Luis Gray
It’s been shown multiple times both the food death rate and infection rate are massively over stated
Jayden Richardson
We cannot lockdown, we do not have a legal framework for it, so the government cannot force us to lockdown. Suck my cock authoritarian chink.
Christian Cruz
yeah, yeah, you will never accept it, but it doesn't matter. That's just cope from an inefficient government.
The govt of Japan encourages both stupid tourist campaigns WHILE raising "maximum alert" over da virus. They are incompetent and foolish, it's sad for so-called high IQ japs.
Henry Lopez
Everyones at work as usual Kids are going to school as usual Shits open as usual. It's been as usual since early summer. meanwhile shit like pic related is going on all over the place and yet the nips are somehow having a hard time.. lmao
Japs death already reach 2K, meanwhile chinks death are 5K, 3000 more to go.
Meanwhile, birthrate is down and suicide is up.
Anthony Martinez
Corona was big during the first wave, but now noone gives a shit. No lockdowns, life continues as normal. As such, Japan will take an economic hit from the global market, but we will NOT have a huge recession like western countries that shut down hard.
Yea, some old people are going to die, but that frees up the pension anyway. Everything is boringly normal here btw.
