Japan Says It Will Still Host The 2020ne Olympics -- Good Luck WIth That -- April 25, 2021

Countries reporting to WHO first and second doses, or fully vaccinated.

Unless the virus burns itself out like the Spanish flu did, this isn't going to end any time soon. The Spanish flu -- no vaccine ever developed -- in fact, at the time, its cause was unknown -- burned itself out after four years. The Covid-19 pandemic just "celebrated" its first anniversary.  

We track all of this here.

Link here:

  • Japan at less than 1%; a very compliant population and still less than 1%;
  • neither Australia or New Zealand is on the list?
  • the EU: less than 8% -- what?
  • Canada: less than 3%, on a percentage basis, even less than Mexico, at 4.4%
  • India: 1.6%

New Zealand, if it has not been vaccinating its citizens, its "entire" population has no immunity -- BBC.

You know, when you look at this graphic, we were fortunate to have someone in Washington who know how to get things done when we needed him most ... replay the tape with Biden/Fauci in charge and it most likely would not have happened.

  1. don't they have a travel advisory up for Japan? supposedly they do for 80% of foreign countries...now that our cases are falling, they don't want anyone going to those countries where cases are rising...

    1. "They" -- if you are talking about New Zealand, I'm sure they have a travel advisory for Japan. With regard to Japan, I honestly don't know how they are going to thread this needle: an Olympics 2020ne with surging numbers and now declaring an emergency lockdown for major cities, including Tokyo. Spectators outside of Japan will not be showing up, that's a given. The question is how: how will Japan manage the athletes. I doubt athletes in most countries were on the priority list for vaccination.

    2. by they, i meant some US agency i couldn't remember offhand...turns out it's the State Dept:

      US to expand 'do not travel' warning to 80 percent of countries amid COVID-19 spike - TheHill The State Department said on Monday that it will expand its “do not travel” advisory to about 80 percent of countries worldwide amid a COVID-19 spike, Reuters reported.The State Department had already listed 34 countries as “Level 4: Do Not Travel,” including Chad, Kosovo, Kenya, Brazil, Argentina, Haiti, Mozambique, Russia and Tanzania, according to Reuters. Getting to 80 percent would add nearly 130 countries, the news outlet reported.

    3. Thank you.

      Japan is at "Level 3" from the State Department: "reconsider travel" but not Level 4 which is "Do Not Travel."
