Man, Covid went after Minoru Suzuki. That's pretty ballsy. Seriously, hopefully they all recover fairly quickly. If COVID went after Suzuki, I honestly feel bad for COVID.

Honestly the situation in Japan is probably going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Last I heard virtually nobody's had the chance to get vaccinated and they're still committed to the Olympics despite that for some stupid reason. I have a friend that married a Japanese guy and lives in Tokyo. She said the vaccination situation there is terrible. I'm really surprised how poor the situation is over there. It's very strange, since the US handled the initial situation terribly, but vaccination is going well over here. While Japan is clearly the opposite. They haven't had a lot of cases compared to the US and really most of the world, but they are having another surge right now.

Wouldn't shock me if much like with the US at the start of the pandemic that Japan is dealing with a a volatile political climate especially with the Olympics upcoming

If not when. 2% of Japan is vaccinated.

In America, our vaccination strategy was to use all of our resources to vaccinate as many of our people as possible. While this nationalist strategy isn't without it's problems on the diplomatic front (not to mention those that won't get vaccinated that don't have a medical excuse), I'd say it has helped quite a bit. But Japan has barely vaccinated it's nation while reopening everything, it seems.

It seems uncharacteristic of Japan given its standards regarding health to be so negligent.

Aside from administrative changes, once we went from the acting-considerately phase to the money/logistics phase it isn't surprising the US has made up lost ground.

Have to share the sentiment that all this seems crazy considering you'd think if the Olympics were still going to happen, you'd have a much better vaccine strategy towards making it happen.
Like, there's a reason that the UK looking to hold the Champions League final in Wembley with a limited crowd seems like a much more viable thing than the Olympics happening in Tokyo and that isn't because the UK had a better run with their COVID strategy at first.

Just looked it up, only 1% of Japan is fully vaccinated. Compare that to 35% in the US and 27% in the UK. Actually looking worldwide, the US and UK are the two best with vaccination of the larger countries. Every other country with rates near the US/UK is much, much smaller.

Another confirmation via his official Twitter account: current IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion El Desperado.
He says he had the full range of symptoms and had to be hospitalized.
