Having read this i get most of the talk is comparing nz and aus/uk/us
living in Japan we have had a huge amount of corona cases recently, 3004 on wednesday (for the day) and it is only increasing every day.
We have had restrictions almost since last year in March.
I have had to wear a mask the whole time and have indents in my ears from doing so. ( i continue to do it as thats what has been asked)
even with these restrictions we have continued to increase in numbers, they get stricter sometimes and numbers go down.
This time tho, the numbers are still rising. i think people have had enough and even though bars and any place selling alcohol (except supermarkets) have to close down there is no end in site.
there is no talk of easing things
everyone is able to take the vaccine and numbers are rising there all the time too
i got my first last week (had a really bad reaction where i couldnt breathe the day after and went to the hospital) so am nervous about getting the 2nd one.
i am worried though that if i don't get it i can't go back to NZ to see my family (can't take off a month or longer from work and can't afford the 3k for quarintine)
but if my reaction is worse i could end up dead....
i am consulting with a doctor but even if im told i shouldn't i have to make a hard choice.
