Absolutely bonkers. I would not say it has all blown over though. I know a young mother who won't allow her own mother to visit her children unless the grandmother has had the most recent booster. The grandmother has now had eight or more shots. It should come as no suprise by now that the mother also has covid, at at least feels sick and has tested positive, right now. The poor woman has been non stop sick with covid, or RSV. Never the flu, oh no it's never the same disease we've all had multiple times over our lifetimes and recovered from. No, this is the big bad covid. She is walking around her home with a mask on so she doesn't infect her husband, and is very angry at him for not wearing a mask himself. She's a highly intelligent woman.
All that nonsense could come back with one press release.
It sounds like things aren’t so bad in Japan, but that could also just be my limited view of the situation.
