It was once seen as something of a success story - a region that worked to contain, trace and isolate the virus - leading to a huge drop in numbers. But Hokkaido is in the spotlight again as it struggles to deal with a second wave of infections.

A mind boggling number but I suppose a thousand bucks a head doesn't stretch far.
 
Given the present risks in the food supply chain, should fishing and hunting be given essential service protection?
 
The commercial fishing guys don’t thinks recreational fishermen should be on the water. Actively try to get us off this season.

Carona Virus Clues:

The possibility that the coronavirus spreads in a mostly stealthy mode among a population of largely young, healthy people showing no symptoms could have major implications...

Sweeping testing of the entire crew of the coronavirus-stricken U.S. aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt may have revealed a clue about the pandemic: The majority of the positive cases so far are among sailors who are asymptomatic, officials say.

Roughly 60 percent of the over 600 sailors who tested positive so far have not shown symptoms of COVID-19, the potentially lethal respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, the Navy says.

“With regard to COVID-19, we’re learning that stealth in the form of asymptomatic transmission is this adversary’s secret power,”

“It has revealed a new dynamic of this virus: that it can be carried by normal, healthy people who have no idea whatsoever that they are carrying it,”

"But it will only happen if cases keep falling, and the province is preparing for a second wave in the fall"

Lets hope it drops but sounds like Mid may before anything eases. Not liking the preparing second wave thing.

What's the baseline, is it what we are currently supposed to be at, and if so, how is that measured? Are we currently at 25%? Apologies if that was stated in the article, the ADHD is strong today...
