4th vaccine, Pfizer BA1

Unlike many other countries, Japanese government is still suggesting to keep our guard up.

4th vaccine is recommended for everyone.

I think now concern is more over long Covid.

Many symptoms thought to be caused by Covid. E.g. respiratory disorder, taste disorder, fatigue, dullness and more.

The vaccine will reduce the risk a bit, not completely. And vaccination every five to six months will be required in future, for years.

We are still wearing masks, and sanitizers can be found everywhere. 🇯🇵

It’s been three years without clear declaration “Now we can forget about Covid and go on vacation without mask”, however compared to 2020 things got better.

Life goes on, really? who knows?

There are uncertainties and I’m lost, I need to go with the flow whether like it or not.

Among many other uncertainties, Covid is an avoidable if we pay attention and being patient.

Others, we have to stop, recover, adjust and adapt.

A State of emergency 7/1/2021

Yes, we are again under self-restraint for one month.

It was obvious that people returned to a daily life since last summer or fall, of course the wearing-mask rate is 100% or really close to it, but this Covid-19 virus was stronger than predicted.

Someone said, “don’t know what else we can do?” for in-the-street interview.

That’s most of Japanese population are thinking,

but I personally know there are some people who take the matter less seriously.

Life isn’t fair from the beginning, yet I wish people follow the instruction will have priority than people don’t follow or respect the instruction when they are in queue for the sickbed.

Don’t know if value of life between those two is equal.
