As coronavirus cases recover in Japan, the country’s eighth pandemic wave could match or surpass the previous wave peak of more than 260,000 daily cases seen in August, the Health Ministry’s specialized organization said on Wednesday.
Confirmed cases nationwide in a seven-day period through Tuesday were up 40 percent from last week, according to ministry data, while new cases rose to 87,000 on Wednesday.
Weekly instances are increasing, adding in Tokushima Prefecture in western Japan, which recorded a peak of 69%. Tokushima followed through Miyagi Prefecture in the northeast of the country and Fukui Prefecture in central Japan, with increases of 66% and 60%, respectively.
In the past week, the main northern island of Hokkaido stood out with 850 cases of infection for 100,000 people.
Takaji Wakita, chairman of the advisory committee, explained that regional differences are partly due to bloodless spaces like Hokkaido struggling to implement adequate ventilation measures to mitigate transmission of the virus.
In addition, he said, COVID-19 depended on the vaccination rate and the number of contacts between people.
Hospital bed occupancy rates are also rising, especially among other 10- to 19-year-olds, and it’s conceivable that deaths could rise if more seniors contract the virus, the panel said.
According to an estimate by the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, excess mortality reached between 12,000 and 17,000 deaths in August. The institute said the above-average deaths were likely due to COVID-19 or a backlog in cases where other people might have done so. They do not access remedy due to hospital saturation.
According to initial demographic data from the Ministry of Health, another 135,649 people died that month, adding up to more than 7,000 after contracting the virus.
Don’t cry You insisted on living with viruses, now show that you can also face the next wave(s).
Almost in fact, there is a lot of Covid circulating here in the winter.
Vaccines don’t seem to be the most important thing in my spread, as the world’s most vaccinated nations still have high infection rates.
Let’s hope the government can improve and treat the elderly.
Everyone else will move on to work, school, etc.
According to initial demographic data from the Ministry of Health, another 135,649 people died that month, adding up to more than 7,000 after contracting the virus.
The government says another 7,000 people died in August “with” Covid.
According to an estimate through the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, excess mortality reached between 12,000 and 17,000 deaths in August.
It also says there are between 12,000 and 17,000 more deaths in August.
There were between 5,000 and 10,000 excess deaths in August that are attributed to Covid.
This is a serious factor that demands an open and fair investigation.
@Bronco: Even if there were, I would temporarily dismiss it as a cover-up or a conspiracy. Unless you check to infer all those excessive deaths from vaccines, which would be a claim of maximum insanity.
Almost a now this nonsense of COVID19!
Everyone has had more than enough hysteria and stay home don’t faint don’t make a fool of yourself!
Herd immunity. Since the mask does not seem to be effective in controlling instances, and severe instances never reached a point of fear of the last wave, let’s take them off, have a beer, and live life.
My beautiful mask, my superpower! I haven’t had any covid since the beginning of this pandemic. I love my mask and he loves me.
We were lucky here, as the daily numbers are literally 1/10 or less than they were during the so-called “seventh wave”. prefecture.
Yesterday, it was the small 379 compared to the more than 6000 at the top!
You’ll be up there, and to everyone’s intelligence down here. . . STAY UP THERE!:)
I have 3 shots I haven’t worn a mask for a while and live my life normally. Corona isn’t going away anytime soon. I think the government will explicitly tell other people to take off their mask in about 6-7 months.
haha of course I guess it’s time to step up the concern campaign, huh?
In Japan, we have done everything right to the fullest and yet we are hit by a new wave of COVID. What’s going on?
Here’s what I know from the previous article: the main foci of infection at the moment are in Tokushima, Miyagi, Fukui, and Hokkaido. These are all provincial prefectures. It seems that giant urban spaces are not affected recently. One would think that the most densely populated urban spaces would be affected, but lately this is not the case.
I hope that doctors and nurses with the vaccines are on their way to the prefectures mentioned above. Quick action can prevent this new COVID development.
What's the matter?
What’s the matter? This is called a mental operation in sight.
I think the government will explicitly tell other people to take off their mask in about 6-7 months.
Lol, no chance. There will still be idiots dressed in masks in cars and jogging in the park until the day they die.
Are we still panicking about it? In case you haven’t noticed, the rest of the world (apart from China) has evolved.
I got Corona 2 times, I am vaccinated with 3 boosters. I wear my mask even in my car. Step 1 bottle of hand sanitizer according to the day. What else do I deserve to do?
Mask, get vaccinated, apply public fitness measures. You know, being a member of an incorporated society.
My beautiful mask, my superpower! I haven’t had any covid since the beginning of this pandemic. I love my mask and he loves me.
Have you ever been tested for covid the pandemic?
Are you vaccinated?
How and how do you get tested for covid?
My private opinion is that it is more than moderate to assume that you have already had a covid but it has frozen it.
I’ve never had covid either since I was tested twice and both came back negative: sarcasm!
However, I had a cold for a few days.
Masks work.
How many more waves will Japan have to go through before its government and others realize everything?
Recently, we have received many foreign visitors to Japan. They are shocked. It is said that it is like going back in time with all the masks, plastic separators, hand spray every five meters, etc . . .
I think it’s time for us to move on, as everyone else has. We look pretty stupid.
The only wave that worries us is the wave of stupidity. Covid is here to stay. If you are afraid of it, get vaccinated every month!If that’s not enough, stay home and don’t work!Use pages like this to express your opinion about staying home. The vast majority also have the right to call for a return to normalcy, as most of the civilized world is doing lately.
In Japan, we have done everything right for the maximum component and yet we are hit by a new wave of COVID. What?
Did everything go well?
What about the Olympics?
Or the substandard people who were told to stay home and refused hospital care because they were unavailable?
What's the matter?
This superiority thing is natural sensationalist rhetoric and nonsense!
That’s what’s wrong.
As always, the article cites case numbers, which is irrelevant. What are the seriousness of the latest iteration for people?These clinical and medical data are not considered worthy of inclusion. Report highly irresponsible and therefore only alarmist. To what end? The masks are just cosplay, as the virus spreads through Japan, loose like a microscopic bird.
every = never (An edition serves as is my dream JT).
Push yourself now. Winter is coming, so there will be a surge of colds and colds, but avoid treating Covid as if it were the biblical plague that comes to hit us all. People were given their vaccinations and boosters and the Japanese did not take off their masks for all the cash in the world. Live and let live at this point. When will they start to return to normal?
Get a humidifier for your room. Will you still be Genki?
in Japan, a higher percentage of the population is vaccinated and masked. Wash your hands and check the temperature, don’t travel abroad / basically because I can’t afford it /, so-called social distancing and more “scientific” types in practice. . . and Covid is still going on. . . Maybe all this doesn’t paint at all?
Just a question.
Simple answer:
This makes things “less worse” than they would be without those common-sense measures, but as smart as if finger-dragging idiots listened to the recommendations of public fitness and fitness professionals and stopped listening to their crazy uncles on FB.
Just because Covid is not “gone” does not mean that the measures do not have a positive effect. No one says, “Hey, the flu is gone, so those vaccines don’t have to work. “At least no smart user says that.
So cover up in public, get vaccinated and renew, the recommendation of public fitness professionals.
It’s rocket science.

My beautiful mask, my superpower! I haven’t had any covid since the beginning of this pandemic. I love my mask and he loves me.
It’s a game that is played through two!
My beautiful immune formula has been my superpower!I haven’t had any covid since the beginning of this pandemic. I love my immune formula and he loves me.
Another of Covid. Sigh!
If we need to like humans, we have to do it with the virus. Even if there is a higher threat of contracting it.
Life isn’t just about staying (physically) alive. The life form of a fungus is not human.
According to our global data, the global trend is to minimize deaths from Covid19 according to the population after the appearance of the omicron variant.
But Japan, where the LDP government prioritizes vested interests that citizens have not responded to Covid19, has a higher number of national deaths year after year against the global trend.
More than 60% of Japan’s total Covid19 deaths occurred after Kishida’s nutrition began last October.
Those who did nothing about the seventh wave despite the worst new cases and new national deaths are also doing nothing about the eighth wave of vaccination PR.
In this sense, the amount of PCR in Japan, where government experts are still obsessed with skepticism about PCR and cling to a less accurate antigenArray, is lower than ever among complex countries.
Endless nonsense. Now that we know the death rate and aggravating factors, can we avoid treating Covid like the plague?
Japan’s Eighth Wave of COVID May Surpass Peak of Last Wave, Experts Say
In a heavily masked and vaccinated country, leaders have never discovered an effective strategy to minimize transmissions.
It’s time to block.
New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom — have all succeeded in restricting transmissions. Unfortunately, their governments have not had the stamina for this technique and, as a result, the fitness of their citizens and countries’ economies have suffered. very.
Now that we know the death rate and aggravating factors, can we avoid treating Covid like the plague?
Surely we now know that Covid causes endothelial damage and the resulting cardiovascular problems, can we prevent it with the mortality rate alone and start treating it as the long-term risk to public health and the economy that it is?
Seriously, it’s not just about who lives, but how and for how long.
When other people are sick, they should be at home without contact with others.
I think it’s time to get back to normal. If you need the vaccine, get vaccinated, if you don’t need it and you end up dying, there’s nothing we can do now. But I also think it may be time to unmask yourself. It looks like a mask tax now, of course not, but it sure looks like it!I haven’t noticed the students’ faces in almost 3 years. Get vaccinated and move now and let those who don’t need to get vaccinated see their luck.
By the way, the vaccine is not intended to eliminate this virus, it is only intended to prevent other people from dying.

Almost in fact, there is a lot of Covid circulating here in the winter.
Vaccines don’t seem to be the most important thing in my spread, as the world’s most vaccinated nations still have a high infection rate.
By the way, the vaccine is not intended to eliminate this virus, or it is simply intended to prevent other people from dying, I don’t know what he means by vaccines that are not the most important thing in the spread. People transmit it, not vaccines.
Japan remains number one in the world. 1 when it comes to weekly covid infections. It’s not that those numbers mean much or are very reliable. More is:
Hospital bed occupancy rates are also rising, especially among other 10- to 19-year-olds, and it’s conceivable that deaths could rise if more seniors contract the virus, the panel said.
So how big is this challenge exactly?
After 3 years of this pandemic, it turns out that no one knows much about human diseases. . .
It’s time to block.
He noted that countries can cope with the pandemic without the need for lockdown measures, which cause more damage to public health than they prevent, and called it a fair argument.
This is that you have identified that there is no desire to “close everything” and that doing so would be worse than otherwise.
New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom — have all succeeded in restricting transmissions. Unfortunately, their governments have not had the stamina for this technique and, as a result, the fitness of their citizens and countries’ economies have suffered. very.
Complete misrepresentation. Economies have suffered from lockdowns (otherwise your “lack of vigor” argument would be meaningless). And the genuine explanation for why they stopped is that the new variants that now predominate make lockdowns counterproductive and unnecessary, as you yourself have accepted.
So is vaccine immunity more than herbal immunity?What a load of bunk beds!
As overseas, the wave driven through the Singapore strain will accumulate in several cases, but will not accumulate in severity. Quite alarmist, covid is here to stay, like the flu. Start living with him like the rest of the world. .
@painkiller: Let go of my friend. There will be no lockdown or restriction anytime soon in Japan. Good for China, keep going. Total destruction of the social fabric. What absolutely depressing lifestyles this will lead. A generation of young people without social skills, without manners. Cities and towns without restaurants or recreational spaces. A lifetime of life and online shopping. The truth is, I can’t believe anything worse.
He advocated for closures in China for the first two years.
Because simply making up baseless things to explain why you’re recommending that something you’ve agreed to is dead and negative doesn’t make sense, it’s just an excuse after you’re caught contradicting it.
Statistics show that it works.
You said that it does no more harm to public health than doing them and that they can be replenished by keeping the pandemic under control. Where are those statistics that belie what you yourself say?
This is an illogical conclusion.
However, you will surely not argue anything to prove that this is illogical. You have not responded to the real argument that locks are no longer profitable, this is not solved by expanding prices to obtain even less advantages as you personally suggest. has said Australia and New Zealand have continued their lockdown. The foreign experts he says are being asked to continue do not exist so easily as to turn out that he has continually provided no reference for doing so. This is a false appeal to authority.
Analgesic
I don’t want to repeat the same speech each and every time. There has never been a blockade here in Japan. Only SOE commands and everything is over.
Do you keep your business open or confined?
About 20 million other people have been shown to have had some type of Ominton infection. I expect the actual number of infections to be much higher, so the vast majority of other people have already become inflamed and have broad immunity to the virus.
So I hope the next wave will be smaller; And if not, I hope it’s much smoother, thanks to our herbal immunity. . .
The vast majority of other people have already become inflamed and have broad immunity to the virus.
This reportedly does not ensure the absence of infection, disease, complication or death, even by strains of Omicron. Vaccination even after being inflamed has been shown to run those risks.
So I hope the next wave will be smaller; And if not, I hope it’s much smoother, thanks to our herbal immunity.
If you expect the herd’s overall immunity to infections to save you new cases starting in the summer of 2020, it is now evident that experts and their professional opinion are a much more reliable source of information, as explained vaccination rates and close contacts remain determinants in prevalence.
“What about the Olympics?”
Yes, that’s right. The Olympics have made COVID a gold medalist. It peaked at the Olympics. Suda chuckled that the Olympics were not to blame, however, they were most likely to blame, if only because of the crowd overload.
The vast majority of other people have already become inflamed and have broad immunity to the virus.
This reportedly ensures the absence of infection, disease, complication or death, even of Omicron strains.
Yes, I agree, herbal immunity ensures anything 100%; and neither do pharmaceuticals.
Vaccination even after being inflamed has been shown to run those risks.
If, I agree, the risks of some. . . for a few months, but they are offering other risks.
It is very clear that herbal immunity is not perfect, it is broader (i. e. it does not only oppose hypervariable tip protein), more physically powerful and more durable than the immunity provided by pharmaceuticals.
Most other people have acquired herbal immunity in this latest wave, so don’t worry too much about long-lasting surges.
Japan has just abandoned this nonsense.
Yes, then it will be nine 10 and so on the rest of the global coconuts China has evolved. . .
Dammit. . . Only Covid existed when I stopped at this site. Japan and its media refuse to allow this to happen.
Japan is number one in the world. 1 when it comes to weekly covid infections.
Very well then. . . Congratulations and greetings Japan despite everything has reached the prestige of number one something!
Yes, I agree, herbal immunity ensures anything 100%; and neither do pharmaceuticals.
But since herbal immunity can come with all the dangers of infection, this makes it the worse of the two.
If, I agree, the risks of some. . . for a few months, but they are offering other risks.
More than a few months according to the most productive evidence available, and its threat is far less common and significant than herbal infection, which is why each and every clinical or medical establishment recommends vaccines rather than threatening herbal infection.
It is very clear that herbal immunity is not perfect, it is broader (i. e. it does not only oppose hypervariable tip protein), more physically powerful and more durable than the immunity provided by pharmaceuticals.
There is no evidence of this, back up only his baseless claim. But more importantly, herbal immunity is the worst default option, as it can only be achieved by getting the full diversity of dangers you’re looking to avoid in the first place. As if wasting your hand is the “best” way to avoid wasting it.
Most other people have acquired herbal immunity in this latest wave, so don’t worry too much about long-lasting surges.
Again, this has been your prediction for both waves for the past two years, experts are much more likely to be right than someone who continually predicts more waves, with waves.
This reportedly ensures the absence of infection, disease, complication or death, even of Omicron strains.
Apparently, even other vaccinated people die from Omicron strains and the only really effective remedy to protect against death is bronchodilator drugs, whether herbal or pharmaceutical.
All the strategies and ridiculous of pushing a tube into it cause more harm than good.
No, I’m discussing with you or I’m going to provide a link or anything to back up my comment.
For me, to think that things are general or pre-Covid, hospitals want to have the capacity here to treat patients who have Covid or not.
But since herbal immunity can come with all the dangers of infection, this makes it the worse of the two.
Yes, and the immunity conferred through the vaccine can only come with all the dangers of the shot, each and every time you get it. For healthy young people, those dangers are greater than those of an infection.
If, I agree, the risks of some. . . for a few months, but they are offering other risks.
More than two months according to the most productive tests ever had.
No, knowledge shows that after about 3 months, it is better to be vaccinated.
Damn if I know where you get all that “data” @Raw Beer. You seem to spend a lot of time looking for someone who insists on never getting vaccinated. Why are you so worried? It’s not really you.
Having had Covid and thinking herbal immunity is present, I no longer see any explanation for why to worry.
In fact, I have a busy social life without a mask and have been in many crowded places many times, for many months.
I my private experience as evidence 1. Viral strains are weaker 2. Natural immunity is adequate.
Here, it turns out that the Omicron variant is spreading through the population like wildfire, but the new vaccines seem to be working. The challenge is that only a very small percentage of other people received their new vaccines, despite their wide availability. .
For early COVID strains, Delta, Japan’s masking, ventilation, disinfection and social distancing policy has been very effective.
However, Omicron replaced everything. The Japanese government will have to recognize what another Omicron looks like and that all those precautions won’t prevent it. It’s much more like the flu and other people want to be informed of the changes.
“What about the Olympics?”
Yes, that’s right. The Olympics have made COVID a gold medalist. It peaked at the Olympics. Suda chuckled that the Olympics were not to blame, however, they were most likely to blame, if only because of the crowd overload.
I don’t understand why other people continue to perpetuate this comical and absurd idea that the Olympics were to blame for mass hospitalizations and deaths.
Japanese sporting events and some crowd concerts had already resumed long before 2021. The Olympics didn’t have crowds. If I remember correctly, it’s not like most people who go to pubs or watch parties. The Delta variant Covid wave that happened at the Olympics was actually one of the least deadly, even compared to those that preceded it, and it only took a few months until after the Olympics for the winter covid wave to break records in terms of new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. The cancellation of the Olympics would have replaced nothing at all. In any case, I believe that the foreigners who threw themselves into the cancellation bandwapassn ended up pouring gasoline on the public protest, further delaying the opening of the borders, alias, by shooting themselves in the foot.
I perceive the IOC to be corrupt and there are valid considerations about its point of influence, but the Covid narrative is and remains stupid. They won, they were able to organize their event, and in the long run, it didn’t matter until now. how security goes. Move on to anything else.
How are those numbers even imaginable given the high vaccination rate and ubiquitous use of masks, unless. . .
Yes, and the immunity conferred by the vaccine can carry all the dangers of the injection.
Which is still a small fraction of the much higher risk of infection, making it the apparent choice for a lower overall risk.
For healthy young people, those dangers are greater than those of an infection.
This is absolutely false, easy to distinguish because you have already been asked for references with evidence to this unfounded claim to which you responded with silence, because there is none, only incorrect information from anti-vaccine groups.
No, knowledge shows that after about 3 months, it is better to be vaccinated.
So absolutely false, no knowledge ever says it, so true that the authors of the distorted article this false anti-vaccine propaganda explicitly say that it is absolutely false.
I take the private party as evidence 1. Viral strains are weaker 2. Natural immunity is adequate.
Evidence from millions of inflamed and vaccinated people still shows that vaccination reduces the risk even for others who have been inflamed in the past.
How are those numbers even imaginable given the high vaccination rate and ubiquitous use of masks, unless. . .
Unless it’s just a bad attempt to distort the great genuine fortune of vaccines that have helped lessen the threat of a pandemic enough for other measures to calm down or even be abandoned, because now the infection is something far less threatening compared to headaches. and deaths when the population is not vaccinated.
In our family, not everyone who won the new Omicron Covid vaccines, while everyone who didn’t get the new Covid vaccines. Those who were too busy to get vaccinated had plenty of time to contract covid.
He spoke to a doctor who said he had stuck to Covid despite the new vaccine, said it was relatively mild and had returned to work. One of our young people who was not vaccinated and then got sick, said he felt he was going to die and he is still sick.
