I cant understand these comments here. Im not sure if I should laugh or cry...
Japan HAS managed this pandemic better than most countries in the world WITHOUT total lockdowns. And I know it's not possible to set a lockdown by law in Japan.
And before anyone attcks me...the Republic of Ireland has double the amount of cases comparded to Tokyo, however in Ireland live around 5mio in total while in tokyo around 40mio. Here in Ireland all shops like clothes and flowers are closed, bars and restaurants are closed (except take away), barbers and hairdressers are closed.
so instead of bashing Japan for MAYBE not letting oversea visitors entering Japan, you may want to see it from JAPANs point of view. Thanks
