Current Events > I'm surprised in Japan's handling of Corona

(+) Yeah! (+)

You'd think a country that's smart enough to bring us all the great technologies we have in our household, and known for their discipline, they'd do a better job at handling the virus. But we have all seen the pics with ppl packed in parks, sporting events, at picnics, etc. Sometimes with no mask, and no distancing at all. And now Tokyo is on a verge of a giant outbreak. Maybe I gave them waaay too much credit? Well, my bad.

Apparently they have a flu drug that can handle it.

Japan built its economy in the post world market through miniaturisation and technological advancement.

Essentially, they are adept at using small things to great effect.

For real? I've only seen the opposite, people singing anime themes from their apartments and big events without audiences.

The sumo basho was fuckin' weird. So quiet that you could hear every stomp, and grunt, and each slap echoed throughout the stadium.
