The Tokyo Paralympics has officially begun, but Japan is facing a severe epidemic. Japan expanded its coronavirus state of emergency on August 25 for a second week in a row, adding eight more prefectures as a infections surge due to the Delta variant. Japan's state of emergency means eateries have to close at 8 p.m. and alcohol can't be served, but the measures are increasingly defied.
