Japan steps into post-pandemic phase with o scrapping of COVID measures [photo of The Asakusa district in Tokyo on April 29] With the change to COVID-19's classification, the government will lose the legal basis to declare a state of emergency or quasi-state of emergency, and will not ask infected people or their close contacts to restrict their movements.

Weeks after Japan "stepped into its post-pandemic phase" in May & left anti-infection measures like masks up to "individual choice," the #COVID positivity rate in Okinawa has been over 50% for at least a week.
Hospital staff are turning sick & dying people away, including children from at least one children's hospital.
Doctors in Japan say the medical system is collapsing.
#PostPandemic is a lie.
