So plenty of room for everyone to continue seeing things in the way that they want to see them.
Okinawa is looking pretty rough though, with another all-time reported high for daily cases today, and their hospitals are
starting to feel the pinch. Best of luck to everyone that needs medical care out there.
If you look at Tokyo moving average on the 29th, and again on the 11th, it is down 24%, so Golden Week has yet to produce a boom in new cases....
Okinawa on the is showing quite an uptick in cases, though that started before GW and just accelerated through GW. Are the visitors more careful than the locals?
