I remember coming to Japan because of its commitment never to mess around other people's business with its military. But now it could be on the front line if China decided to attack Taiwan. Really reconsidering my long term life here if this thing passes.
From a NATO sockpuppet country's citizen: Japan, DON'T DO IT! You have nothing to win from this but to be the US eternal attack dog in the Pacific. They gave you that constitution, now take advantage from it and remain officially neutral (I know it might be difficult with US bases everywhere though).
As the talk of relaxing restrictions increases, my experience has been that businesses, schools and private organizations here in Japan are getting more strict in the enforcement of their mitigation rules. One of my schools announced today that they are returning to online instruction tomorrow. Another wants to return to the classroom but can not figure out how to work with the reduced occupancy requirements needed to maintain social distancing.
These last couple of weeks I have seen more unmasked in and around Tokyo, but still far below 1%.
If you are really a gaijin, what are your first-hand experiences of life in Japan in relation to the covid ACTIONS, not the official "recommendations"; but, what people actually do - or not do.
Oh boy that Bloomberg article is chilling!

Guy,

Are they similar or different to TS's?
