Osaka Struggles With Renewed Covid Wave

Featured Replies

Let's work the words.

 

"Onslaught"  = 17 deads. For a city (prefecture)... of 9 millions people.

 

"Medical system collapse" = "By Thursday, 96% of the 348 hospital beds Osaka reserves for serious virus cases were in use."

 

The whole article is obscene and doesn't make any sense. Who can believe that Osaka Prefecture... has only 348 hospital beds "reserved" for virus... Since most of the "sick" are asymptomatic (like Thailand and every where else in the world).

 

It's mind boggling that a worldwide press agency such as Reuters could publish such a pile of garbage.

 

As for the terrible apocalypse currently destroying Japan....

Not too bad for a country of... 126 millions people... Very old.

I agree...the headline doesn't match what's actually stated in the article. More and more it seems like even "mainstream" media is going for the clicks.

Hard to read anything coming from a hard core covid denier.

I think that's unfair.  Where does he deny Covid?  You can't really argue that Covid exaggeration gets clicks and sells, which seems to be his point.

Agreed.  But go into this members posting history.  It's full of posts that deny the severity of the pandemic.  Many of their posts have been removed.  For good reasons.

Seems the article is spot on.  It's all over the news.

Hospitals overwhelmed as Covid cases surge in Osaka

Beds almost at capacity and an estimated 17,000 people with symptoms waiting for treatment

If the Japanese can't get the defense force to set up a field hospital or two, it's a leadership failure, IMO.
