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 [on Okinawa{ is collapsing.

#PostPandemic is a lie.

@chargrille if the pandemic was ended by issuing an official proclamation downgrading the disease, they really should have done that sooner. /s
