The question is pretty self-explanatory from the perspective of 1 who has read your posts over the last few whiles.
This virus is spreading like wildfire in some places, yet your position here that "it's little to no problem in Tokyo, so should it be such a problem in Canada" is total BS.
@Warhippy, just like the rest of us, has a need to grab items from a store, yet your suggestion to his reaction to western world idiots to "stay home" solves nothing. What works in Tokyo does not work in Vancouver. I've seen the $&!# people continue to do 1st hand hear. Just this morning 1 of my [now online] classmates said that he and his buds have an international pickup game of b-ball scheduled for the afternoon. That's MY anecdote for you. Of course I called him out on it, and of course they'll play on as though it didn't happen.
I could go on, and on, and on, about the things I've seen locally that fly in the face of defiance regarding minimizing the spread of this virus, but you know exactly what I mean already, and since you're so well written, you know exactly what I mean when I call you a Covid apologist.
I've been to Japan, and I loved it there, but to assume our 2 countries would/should/will react to this outbreak in similar ways makes us both idiots. I don't assume it. If you assume we can, newsflash. If you wish we would. cheers, but I don't currently see that happening.
Want to chalk my labeling you as an apologist up to the collective and cultural behavioral differences between the 2 nations we reside in? Fine, allow me to hereby offer my honest and sincere apology issued in full. Something tells me that there's more to your story though, I just don't know what your angle is.
That's why I posted what I did.
