While the Japanese TV has been getting giddy with excitement at the prospect of telling people to stay home and producing yet another round of eye-rollingly inane reports of irresponsible young people shamelessly socialising in central Tokyo, it’s conspicuously failed to notice a point made by two members of the national government’s Coronavirus Response Experts Committee, economists Fumio Otake and Keiichiro Kobayashi. In a
Thank you for another fine article on the absurdity of all of this. I have stopped paying attention to politicians, the media, Covid restrictions, mask-wearing fools....I have fewer friends, less money but more meaningful relationships. I am also grateful that this plandemic has made me realize that politicians are useless, teachers giving online lessons in a classroom by themselves cannot be trusted, mask-wearing fools are fools and can't be trusted, guys who pull up their masks after finishing a cigarette have no rights to leave the house. I hope they go though with the nonsense. I will file a class-action lawsuit. It will probably be a one-man class-action lawsuit because most people are poltroons.
I'd be happy if ordinary people just stop masking outside. It's so incredibly stupid and useless, I can't believe most people still do it. Do they not know that masking outside is entirely pointless? Or are they just all posturing to be "responsible"? Anyway, once people generally stop masking outside, I'll start having hope that dropping masking indoors will follow
In order to be granted asylum, an individual is required to provide evidence demonstrating either that they have suffered persecution on account of a protected ground in the past, and/or that they have a “well-founded fear” of future persecution in their home country.
It could be relevant to Japan's circumstance that this week, when the U.S. Senate debated the resolution that would end the national covid emergency, the senator who defended keeping the emergency cited the threat from "viruses[!]"
Here's the quote and link; it was Sen. Ron Wyden: "Congress ought to be looking here to support medical workers, protect our healthcare system from becoming totally overwhelmed by viruses."
I would also like to add that I think it's time for anyone with a brain to apply for political asylum in the United States. Not every sate is the same, so I would recommend Florida, Texas, South Dakota, or Tennessee. We are all in danger in Japan. Our livelihoods are being threatened by hypochondriacs. If we have less money, it makes it difficult for us to eat. That puts us in danger. This is one of the criteria to be considered for political asylum. Who needs help with this? It would certainly be embarrassing for the people "in charge" if a large number of citizens of a developed (psychologically, not so much) country applied for political asylum. Can I get 40,000? I know about 5 people who would do so. Embarrassment is really effective.

As I keep pointing out, a law is only effective if it is respected and can be enforced.
Any govt action is only illegal when it is declared by a court and the govt respects the court's decision.

Where on the planet is there a government that cares a damn for the law when it restricts what they can do or dictates what they must do?
