Japan on high alert for virus surge.

Japan on high alert for virus surge

Japan recorded more than 2,000 new coronavirus cases on both Wednesday and Thursday, its highest levels to date, as the country steels itself for a third wave. Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga put the country on “maximum alert” and urged vigilant mask wearing, particularly while dining out.

Tokyo also broke its record for case numbers on Wednesday and again on Thursday, with more than 500 infections per day.

While Japan’s total numbers are low compared with those in many other countries, infections are spiking rapidly. A panel of experts working for the Tokyo government said the current surge was the most alarming yet because, unlike prior waves, which mostly affected young people, the current one has also hit middle-aged and older people.

Calls for quarantine workers to be better paid so they only work at one place. Victoria to make quarantine work exclusive.

Could higher-paid hotel quarantine workers better protect Australia from COVID-19?

Looking like I have to recommence flying for work...currently sitting with our North American Office

I best look up what the new rules are for domestic travel. I assume wearing some sort of mask is going to be required, I haven’t worn one all year.

SA lockdown based upon a lie:

Police Commissioner Grant Stevens has elaborated on why the state was forced into lockdown.


"The person claimed that they had purchased a pizza from the pizza shop, where in fact they were working there and had been working there for several shifts," he said.


"That clearly changes the circumstances and had this person been truthful to the contact tracing teams, we would not have gone into a six-day lockdown.

South Australia's six day stay-at-home order will be lifted at midnight on Saturday, three days earlier than expected.

What you reckon Eevo time for a Public Flogging/shooting while still trapped in The Stocks with rotten tomatoes being thrown at the person?
Where do I sign up?

It does make one wonder how much the Liar % has kept this thing going in all states?
Apparently there were heaps when the East Coast shut down & it would have made it most difficult to track those bastards down.

So since Victoria was locked down for months does that make Victorian more prolific liars?

Just WOW....
Individuals have lost thousands of dollars from the snap lockdown, from cancelled weddings to London travellers who face homelessness from cancelled flights. It beggars belief that it was all effectively for nothing......
