Akebono Clinic (Director Osamu Tamai) in Naha City decided to limit the number of fever patients to 10 per day, and called for reservations in advance. Immediately after the hospital opened, the number of calls was flooded, and the slots were quickly filled. Since then, the phone has continued to ring, seemingly asking for medical attention, but "I don't have the time to respond,” according to a clerk. The ringtone keeps ringing. 11:01 PM - Jul 5, 2023 - 36.7K Views

Weeks after Japan "stepped into its post-pandemic phase" in May & left anti-infection measures like masks up to "individual choice," the #COVID positivity rate in Okinawa has been over 50% for at least a week.
Hospital staff are turning sick & dying people away, including children from at least one children's hospital.
Doctors in Japan the medical system is collapsing.
#PostPandemic is a lie.
