People worry about Covid-19. But a lot of people have also [killed themselves] because they have lost their jobs, they have lost their income and couldn’t see the hope.We need to strike the balance between managing Covid and managing the economy.

hamachan_FTM This is a murder case by govt. Japanese govt doesn't help citizens by social assistance expenditure at all, so its suicide rate's been so high. Most ppl got 962 US$only once up to now even the they ask us to quarantine ourselves & don't go out for a work because of the covid19

Kids are suffering here. Another reason to keep schools open. Ask the kids.

😧Please be gentle with each other. There is bad energy everywhere.

Will these be counted as Covid deaths then... even though there suicide -they're really Covid aren't they? As all deaths seem to be these days.

In Britain, people are dying in care homes without healthy care and no care...

Lockdowns work. So they must not be following orders otherwise they would be like Australia and New Zealand.

Same here, Japan. Same here

😞

I hope Japan eventually finds a way to end the stigmatization of mental health issues 💜

Covid rates drop in all London boroughs as cases halve in 16 daysThe capital is still the worst affected part of England, with an infection rate of 558.7 per 100,000 people. Are these real infections or PCB ones; and in any event so what? Only a fraction of those infected develop serious symptoms ... and for that we're killing people, denying children an education and destroying the economy. It is by no means an achievement as UK still has the highest death toll(100,000+/God knows how many undocumented ones) & Covid19 cases ( 3.7 million!!)in Europe!! an infection rate of 0.5%!! surely we can reopen schools
