Talk:COVID-19 pandemic in Japan

No source for death of Kiminobu Okada.

There is currently no source for the death of Kiminobu Okada (Mainichi Broadcasting System executive). The original article may have been removed. Wikidata suggests he died of natural causes. Nothing on his Facebook.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.61.5.118 (talk • contribs) 1:30, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Second wave? The first was never stopped!

Hi from Germany! I just looked at this article the first time and was surprised to see that there was a second wave in Japan in the content. But looking at the charts, there never was a decline in new cases in Japan! So the so-called first wave was never stopped! Look at our charts in Germany, we had a remarkable first wave that was broken, unfortunately in some of our states politicians now believe "hey, we reduced the measures, and the number of new cases is still stable now, so we can continue to reduce the measures". (Believing, if we do that slowly, the virus will not realize it.) A pandemic can not be fooled like that. --88.68.59.47 (talk) 07:03, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

I meant the "second wave starting end of march". NOW, there is really a new wave. --88.68.59.47 (talk) 07:06, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

@88.68.59.47: Hello. Yes, Japan is still in the first wave. Last June, I was hearing in the news (BS1 NHK) about the second wave coming so it implies we are still in the first wave. I just noticed the section subheaders implying that the second wave started in March now that you mentioned it. Thatnks for bringing it up. I hope those maintaining this page reads your comment. —Allenjambalaya (talk) 08:10, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Page exceeds post-expand include size limit

This page currently exceeds the post-expand include size limit, which means that the some templates on the page will not display properly. On other COVID-19 pandemic pages, this has been resolved by moving graphs and charts to a separate page and linking to them, instead of including them all in-line on this page. I would suggest a similar approach here. --Ahecht (TALK

​Support. Without looking at concrete PEIS values, the biggest offenders appear to be the "Statistics" section and the first graph displayed in the article (featuring tabbed view for different months). —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 18:03, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

So the problem still persists. I take it no one would object if we move statistics to Statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan? Any one or two charts we want to keep here? Pinging Ahecht, who originally raised the concern in July, and LSGH, who appears to be the editor maintaining this article. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 07:19, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Sure, no objections. Perhaps everything under that subheader can be moved already. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 09:09, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

 Done. @LSGH: Everything's been moved over to Statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. I only had to remove {{COVID-19 pandemic data/Japan medical cases}} from this page as it was taking up over 2/5 of the allowed PEIS limit. Cheers! —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 15:54, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
