TRENDS ON THE COVID WARFRONT

JAPAN: COVID STATE OF EMERGENCY

April 27, 2021April 27, 2021

Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga announced a new targeted state of emergency to slow the spread of the virus and attempt to prevent additional cases stemming from Golden Week, one of the country’s biggest national holidays.
The Financial Times reported that the restrictions are expected to be in place until 11 May and will impact Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto prefectures. Suga told the public he “sincerely” apologies for “causing trouble for many people again.”
The FT reported that the lockdown calls for the complete closures of large shops and venues that serve alcohol. Schools will remain open but people will be encouraged to work from home.
“We absolutely have to limit the movement’s people, and we have to do it decisively,” Yasutoshi Nishimura, the minister in charge of the pandemic response, said, according to the Guardian.
The latest state of emergency was declared three months before the summer Olympics in Tokyo. 
The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare recorded 5,452 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday and NPR reported that hospitalizations in the country are increasing. The report said the country only approved one vaccine, the Pfizer shot, which has been blamed for setting the country back. 
TRENDPOST: The country of 126.3 million has recorded 9,800 deaths since the start of the outbreak 14 months ago or the grand total of 0.00775 percent.
Over 14 months, that equates to just 0.000554 percent per month or an average of 700 deaths per month. And it should be noted, which the mainstream media, health officials, and politicians never do, of those alleged COVID deaths, over half of them are people 80 years of age and older, and only 175 of them were people under 60 years of age, according to statista.com.
As we have been reporting in the Trends Journal, the suicide rate in Japan has sharply escalated as a result of the COVID War draconian rules. Last October, more people died of suicide in just one month than from COVID in all of 2020.
Among women, unable to take the psychological and physical stress of fighting in the COVID War, some 7,000 women took their lives last year… a 15 percent spike from 2019.
