New Coronavirus Strain Leads to Travel Ban for Non-Resident Foreigners to Japan

Unless you already live in Japan don’t expect to be visiting the country at least in the near term:

Airline ticket agents at Haneda Airport process passengers for boarding on March 18, 2020. Japan is imposing a temporary ban on incoming nonresident foreigners starting Dec. 28, 2020.

The government of Japan will ban nonresident foreigners from entering the country starting Monday through January, to reduce the risk of a new, potentially more transmissible form of the coronavirus from expanding its presence, according to media reports.

Reuters news service reported Saturday that Japanese citizens and foreign residents starting Monday may enter the country, but must show proof of a negative coronavirus test within 72 hours of departing for Japan and must quarantine for two weeks after arrival. Reuters cited a government statement issued Saturday.

The government checks to the pharmaceutical companies for the old outdated vaccine must have cleared.

Time for the New Strain.

Too bad about those businesses you thought you were going to reopen.

It only took about nine months to grudgingly agree to “two weeks to flatten the curve” to begging for scraps of communism.

If Americans don’t pick up their black rifles and murder most state and federal politicians within the next three weeks, they get what they deserve.

Anyone who thought that neo-fascists and wannabee commissars were ever going to suddenly drop their power was at best naive.

However, asking folks still employed to start the boog without leaders is a bit premature. We’ll see whether their is that much fight left.
