Ric Magno comments

In Italy, my country, they had 2000 deaths/million people, UK 1900, USA 1800, France 1600, Germany 1000 and Japan 100 deaths/million. European countries and America, with heavy lockdowns, run the sh*tshow, not Japan. Sure, they are late with the vaccine a strategy is coming together and honestly I'm glad they waited to see if the cure was working before giving an untested drug to all people. We'll get the vaccine. Good or bad news, the aim of many comments here is to dump a lot of dirt on Japan, regardless. I'm honestly tired of the expat community in this country.

IMO those are all people who lost their job or were forced to work online and found it useless to spend a massive rent to live in a city they can’t afford or enjoy because of Covid. This is happening in other expensive cities elsewhere, like San Francisco or my hometown Milan.
