The Least Useful Guide to Fukuoka

After a week of sick leave, our governor has back, saying (insisting) that he has had pneumonia-like symptoms but was not found infected with COVID-19 and is feeling better now. 

As we are in the middle (I hope it is the middle, not the beginning ) of the "third wave" of COVID-19 outbreak, I assumed he caught the virus, but (according to his press conference) he didn't. If so, I wonder why his condition has not been reported at all for the past week as other public figures' have been. 

Maybe I am unnecessarily skeptical, but can I believe the man who has been staying relatively calm (compared to the chubby mayor) and doing relatively reasonable jobs in this crazy time is OK? To my elderly eyes, he seems to have some troubles with his liver.
