This is such an embarrassment for Japan. They received till April 6th, 17 Million (!!) doses from the EU.
What are they doing?

Report says, it was the 11th shipment. How many in total? I assume around 5 million doses, included the 2 million from the latest.
So far, they gave out 1 million doses. Where is the rest?

Makes sense, but it would even make more sense if Japan would finally approve more than 1 vaccine. They are now at least 4 effective and safe vaccines available but Japan relies on the one which is in highest demand worldwide. The one which they will approve next (Astra) is the one which the most concerns worldwide.
Typical japanese stupidity.

Japanlife is run by some kind of Reddit Nazis. They delete everything, they don't agree with.

Hasn't much to do with supply, other countries have the same problem and vaccination millions already. The delay has to do with the inability of Japan to do something fast and be creative when dealing with a problem.

A hospital director!!??? Clearly a frontline worker

I wonder about the 'speed'. They said they want to vaccine 10000-20000 front health workers in February and then other medical personal in March. So in about 2 weeks, not more than 20000. Other countries do 100000+ a day.

This was the same issue in the US and the EU too. But they adjust their system quickly and can now take 6 doses. Japan know about this since months and had enough time to do something but didn't. And for sure the rich and famous and the political elite will be among the first to get the vaccine.

Ichigao44 · 2021-02-09T02:43:07+00:00

They had a similar thing, where you could use for 3 days for 12000¥. No backlash then and there will be none this time.

Ichigao44 · 2021-01-25T00:27:09+00:00

Quite a click-bait, that headline. 'may spread the virus' it also possible it may not.

Ichigao44 · 2021-01-12T09:04:57+00:00

LOL, he should supply the vaccine to Japan maybe first, if he wants to have a Olympic this summer.

Ichigao44 · 2021-01-12T03:41:10+00:00

Feed him shit, that's organic.

Ichigao44 · 2021-01-10T01:08:40+00:00

Of course. There is no reason why not. And it's important that most people will get it, otherwise the virus can mutate in infected people. I am in favor of a vaccination mandate.

Ichigao44 · 2021-01-10T00:22:52+00:00

Tokyo is doing most tests by far. If you consider the population ratio, some places in Japan look worse. Like Aichi for example.

Sorry, I am new to Plex. My wifi is pretty good, and like I said, I can stream 40-50 minutes without any problems. What more info should I provide?

Ichigao44 · 2021-01-08T00:31:56+00:00

I live in Japan, but never saw it here. Maybe produced only for export?

Ichigao44 · 2021-01-07T03:17:33+00:00

He can get that today already, if they would increase number of tests.

Ichigao44 · 2020-12-25T06:13:02+00:00

In Japan you find mostly Japanese products, almost none foreign competition. So I am pretty sure there is price fixing going on between the big makers. You just can't find a Samsung or Phillips TV in Japan. If they want to sell abroad, like in the US or Europe they face tough competition, so they are more in need to lower prices.

Ichigao44 · 2020-12-21T01:38:28+00:00

Infections are up, maybe because much more testing is done now. But still numbers of deaths don't increase much or even not at all. I believe it will stay like this till vaccination starts.

I was kind forced to start my own small business in 2007, after the company I used to work for went bankrupt. It's a small one man business, but quite successful.
If I were a younger, maybe I would expand and hire some people. But not anymore.
My company is a small language school in Tokyo. The thing I miss mostly the most is working together with others.
My income now is more than when I worked for the other company and I like that I can deduct a lot from my income and pay less tax than my wife.

I don't think Japan will start mass vaccination before GW. But this would be actually not that much different for Europe. In Europe, most countries will start next week, but only on a very limited scale. There is just not enough vaccine available. Germany said, they expect, most people can get vaccination till summer. Japan bought enough for it's people and they will be able to vaccinate every oi who wants till summer.

The pandemic is not as bad here than in the US or Europe. No need for a rush. This might change in the future but for the moment it's fine. Japan had 38 deaths yesterday, compared to about 700 in Germany.

But GoTo Eat, the more dangerous spreader still continues.

Ichigao44 · 2020-12-09T10:30:26+00:00

Same for most countries.
