The virus response is just another silly offering of what’s devolved into a Nanny State…Yes, the virus is very REAL and yes very transmittable, but from Japan’s perspective, a far less impulsive and more practical solution (rather than to regulate behavior and kill off an entire economy…) was just the simple wearing of face mask…Wearing a mask (and common sense hygiene) is what the Japanese did, and it’s worked well – they avoided the reactive impulse to shutdown their own economy …
A generation or two ago, this foolishness would not have been considered or even tolerated!! Per my previous mention about the sanctioned shoulder to shoulder Customs lines at LAX (huh??), whatever happened to America’s ’once great’ repository of Learned Experts??…
Please excuse my 0.02 cents worth of animal frustration here – lol
