Today, Tokyo Prefecture reported 968 new cases of COVID-19, below 1,000 for the first time since July 19 and a drop of almost 50% from a week ago.
Meanwhile, Osaka Prefecture reported 924 new cases, below 1,000 for the first time since August 16.
ETA: Kanagawa Prefecture (home to Yokohama) has reported 971 new cases, below 1,000 for the first time since July 27.
Yeah, the plague doctors swept onto the pitch when Argentina played some (almost certainly vaccinated) players but remained silent when Bolsonara flouted restrictions multiple timesâŚ
As we have been finding our âbettersâ since this began: consistency. If itâs public health it applies to everyone. You lose all moral standing when you are a public health hypocrite.

And this is where we are to start it:
We will keep doing our jobs, but damn, this looks grim. Predicting a peak here late September. We shall see.
He was fined several times for not using a mask.
ETA: IIRC, some parties already denounced him to the supreme court, the only one who has jurisdiction over him and some other federal politicians, and iâm not sure what is the process for a civilian or public worker to do that, but i guess it would be stopped by some of his allies in the prosecutorsâ office.
He wasnât hauled away and the events stopped though or did that happen?
They didnât happen because those events involved hundreds or thousands, and doing that would certainly result in a confrontation.
But, there is also a lot of hypocrisy when some of the governors argued that, since they donât show that much restraint when sending the anti-protest units on teachersâ manifestations.
As I said before: public health rules apply to our âbettersâ or they are not public health rules. Hypocrisy and inconsistencies make public health difficult.
My sympathies, and best of luck. Sadly, I feel like youâre going to need it a lot. 
Oh, that is so apt! Will be using in non-professional settings from now on.
Early stage science so far on the variant waiting in the wings, but itâs a decent summaryâŚ
Weâre up to Îź ⌠at least everybody will be all brushed up on the Greek alphabetâŚ
Still quite rare. Letâs keep it that way, shall we? Who am I kidding. That might require inconveniences.
By that logic, the average American can use an unlabeled globe to locate England, Spain, Germany, Japan, Italy, the Philippines, both KoreasâŚ
I completely missed that point in the first reply, because i was already thinking about him being fined.
It seems that it is even a worse problem.
Of course there were some people who pursued specific public health policies but ignored them when they became a nuisance for them (as i recall, a health minister in the uk going to dine out, a mayor from sĂŁo paulo who banned sports events in the city but went to a match in another state, etc.), but bolsonaro and other denialist are not even flaunting their own rules, they are breaking them in another level.
