My younger brother-in-law from Tokyo who took over the farm has had rocks thrown at his car with Tokyo license plates so he only drives the farm truck now. His neighbors and especially the a-holes at the JA are still bitching about having diseased tokyoïte in their midst.

I don't think you are right and you should categorically not be spreading this kind of denial/conspiracy theory. This is not some argument about politics, this is health and people's lives. Are doctors and nurses part of the scam? That's the only way to explain the increased workload and number of patients they are reporting.

Check any covid tracker. It's been at 4% of results positive for months.
Flu season explains increased workload for healthcare workers. Happens every year Nov-Apr. And 2020 was just the first time it was breathlessly reported hour by hour every single day. US hospitals have a base rate of 85% occupancy for ICU. Simply not economically viable otherwise. The rate gets pushed up to near or at full capacity most winter seasons. It's just the first time you're hearing about it.

I checked a reputable COVID tracker, as you can see, and it doesn't agree with you. In fact, if you want to focus on seasonal influenza, doctors and nurses are reporting a vastly decreased number of influenza cases since handwashing and mask wearing became widespread back in March. That applies to Japan and other countries so it just goes to show that most influenza is preventable by better hygiene, masks and distance.
You don't have any evidence for your 4% claim, so there is no reason to believe you. You are pushing a dangerous conspiracy theory about the "scamdemic" and you should stop it because lives are at stake.
