$12,455.00plus dollars 🇨🇦wastefully spent 😷🤷🏻‍♀️

That would be easily contaminated, difficult to clean & ineffective since it has about 100 holes in it where the beads are stitched on

Reuters is not prestigious anymore

Urgh

How can you wash that everyday? The toss away ones are littering the streets in Toronto so more longer- use masks are a great idea but not if they are tough to clean.

45 LOOKS NASTY & INFECTED with SUMTIN! Kamala Harris (& Biden) et al. DO NOT move into that White House etc for at least 2 months ..after it has been DEEP-CLEANED/FUMIGATED..everything REPLACED. That place is INFECTED with Covid ..and whatever else! DO NOT get close to them!

İnessential..

This is ridiculous. I live in Tokyo but I’ve never seen this on news.

$9,500 not bad if your filthy rich and can afford a hotel room like that.

Surely there are better uses for money during a pandemic...

China's growing naval activity in Japanese waters is a big concern, Japan lawmaker saysJapan's state minister of defense says China's growing maritime activities in the disputed waters surrounding Japan is a threat. Can’t really understand why Japan always worries about China since China whatever in the past or now has 0 attract or invade Japan. Why not we settle this down together and not just ask for another countries’ help. Now that Biden has been elected by China, China is free to do as it wants.
