Empress Emerita Michiko Tests Positive for COVID-19


 

The Imperial Household Agency announced that Empress emerita Michiko has tested positive for COVID-19 and has light symptoms. The 89 year old former Empress has a cough and sore throat and is recuperating at her residence. Her husband, 90 year old Emperor emeritus Akihito, tested negative for COVID-19. 


We want to believe COVID is in the rear view mirror, but unfortunately, it's still with us. I wish Empress emerita Michiko a quick recovery and all the best!

It's definitely NOT in the rear view mirror. I wish her well.

The Empress appears to be recovering well. The number of infected person has decreased dramatically since the pandemic, but It can't be underestimated.

Even if the current variants of Vocid are much milder than the first few, it can still be hard on a 89 year old! Hope she made a full recovery.
