Tokyo Sees Record Level of COVID Infections
Much like in neighboring South Korea, coronavirus infections in Japan continue to rise new record levels with people in their 20’s and 30’s leading the surge:
Tokyo confirmed a single-day record 584 new cases of the coronavirus Saturday, a significant rise from Friday’s 449 new infections.
Osaka Prefecture, meanwhile, registered 399 new infections, it’s fifth straight day reporting at least 300, while Aichi Prefecture recorded 219.
Other large case loads were reported in the prefectures of Kanagawa, with 192, Hokkaido, 183, Saitama, 168, Hyogo, 151, and Chiba, 74.
The number of severe COVID-19 infections in the capital rose by two from the previous day to 55. The daily figure was based on 7,624 tests, the metropolitan government said in a statement.
Among the new cases, those in their 20s had the highest number at 137, followed by those in their 30s at 110 and people in their 40s at 95. Infections among those 65 or older totaled 88.

That’s horrendous positive rate for that small number of tests done. Only 7624 tests done, but 584 positive cases. That’s just Tokyo, so if you count rest of Japan, the figures will look worse. South Korea did 20,000 tests yesterday, and had 600 cases. I know which country is doing a better job and which country is safer right now.
Positive test doesn’t mean anything…casedemic. using the numbers to scare the people into being docile sheeple.
