Everyone is still wearing masks in every store I go to in the US.

Really? I am at the home center as we speak and about 80 percent of the people are not wearing masks. They are free and happy.

Fewer people traveling during Golden Week amid virus spike

They must talk like this to try and stop people from traveling. From what I see, it’s business as usual.

 If the law says you must close because of a pandemic there is little you can do.

I believe there is no law that states what you said. It's all on a volunteer basis. Technically he could sue and win.

Suga thanks public for coping with virus restrictions; asks for continuing cooperation

The trains were packed, the ramen shops were open, hostess bars in Ginza all open, salarymen going to karaoke.......all during the state of emergency. Gotta love Japan.

Democrats continuing to help Main Street whilst republicans continue to spit in the faces of hard working Americans that weren’t fortunate enough to have chosen their parents correctly.

Ha! Until they’re voted out of office in 4 years!

Get rid of him already. He has done enough damage to the big Apple.

Extended or not, nobody really cares.

I care.

Anything to hang on to peoples money.

I think all planned. Government made billions on that one.

What crime did they commit?

The crime of saving a foreigner that would never get a fair trial in Japan, proving to the world what a farce the Japanese justice system is.

Would take a Japanese prison any day over any other in the world. At least they are safe and dropping the soap is no issue.

How do you know? Have you done prison time in Japan?

WELL, that's a no-brainer.'

get rid of facebook.

Why do people want to live like rats in oversized cages?

Obviously, you have never lived a tower lifestyle. It is wonderful!

Actually, a very amusing story.

Taiwan should just blow them out of the sky.

Draconian means: excessively harsh and severe.

The media will say anything for clicks, meanwhile, the caravan is in for a big surprise when they reach the American border and are rejected entry because of Bidens "new draconian border protection policy".

I agree. Everyone will be paid a minimum wage. Or like Marx said, just enough for the worker to be able eat the bare minimum needed to make it physically to work, work, go home and do it all again the next day.

That's how Japanese are living now.

With reports of patients suffering severe conditions renewing record figures almost on a daily basis, medical professionals warn of a medical system collapse where they will have to give up on otherwise treatable patients because of the lack of hospital beds.

haven't they been saying this for about a year now?

Conviction should be a piece of cake, and it keeps him from running for office ever again.

When the hoopla settles, it will not be a piece of cake.

You cannot train robots, you must re-program them.

Ever eat at Saizeriya? Once is about enough.

Nice number.

If this is successful, the central Government will copy this and take credit for it.

Biden is doing his best to be politically correct. He probably can’t stand either of them.

I wonder if the ~80M "voters" will watch, even virtually?

No they will be rioting.

@NOMINATION

Sorry to say, Tokyo is Japan.

We need vaccine ASAP! 

Where is it?

Hate to burst your bubble but a vaccine is only the beginning and that is a long way down the road. The Government knew this was coming and now that is spreading like a forest fire, they are just waking up. The challenge is waking up is not a plan. My advice is turn on the world news and understand that what happens in the world will be in Japan exactly 2 weeks from the date you researched.

Japan business confidence improves again after virus plunge

Have you walked through central Tokyo lately? Workers do not look so happy and optimistic about the future.

Seems like everybody now eats their lunch at convenience stores and there are a-lot of empty buildings with no tenants. This story is not believable.

I believe you are free, you can still do whatever you want, you just won't get the "GO TO" discounts.
