Lockdowns (or shutdowns or whatever term will be used next) are not an effective solution - look around the world at such repeated nonsense and the results thus far.
Einstein said something alomg the lines of it being jnsanity to do something the same way and expect different results.
And why isn't anyone complaining about such racist terms as U.K. variant or South Africa variant or Brazil variant?

Posted in: Kyoto woman arrested for stealing cat from pet shop; offers strange justification to police See in context
Norwegian Forest cat - a very nice breed, not far removed from nature (yet). And for those that know animals such as dogs or cats, the realization would be there that a 'stray' (although nice in theory to 'adopt') may not be suitable for the owner/lifestyle, etc.
So, it is best to research breeds carefully so a proper 'fit' is established. A stray may work out, or it may not. It would be great if they all did, but I know that sometimes a stray can cause a lot of grief for a new 'owner', oftentimes leading to the stray becoming a stray again.

Posted in: Panic buying continues in Tokyo as residents asked to stay home for weekend See in context
No significant panic here in Canada. There was the silly toilet paper phase first (that's over with now), along with hand sanitizer (and face masks, which are not really a thing here normally and therefore not much stock to begin with). Then the pasta and sauce was bought (not all, but about 80%). Then the flour and yeast. And now, acetaminophen is harder to find. Otherwise, causal shopping. Lots of meat, fruit, and veggies are available - everyone is relatively calm.
Much self-isolating and working from home (no problem with that). And fuel prices are down to about 60 cents per litre (about half of 'normal' price) - good time to go for some long drives in the country.

It is interesting that so many posters know who the culprits are, without any conclusive information, and there are several different culprits. How can this be? Someone is likely correct, but who?
