Japan Avoids COVID Lockdown By Changing Restaurant Closing Times

Besides the changing of restaurant closing times it is also important to point out that nearly everyone in Japan follows the masks rules. That is why such a policy would not work as well in the U.S. where so many people still do not wear masks:

A man served customers at a shop in Tokyo’s Nakamise shopping street, normally a popular destination for foreign tourists, Feb. 2.

Call it the Zen art of lockdowns. In the fight to suppress Covid-19, Japan has found success by stripping down its policy to one simple measure: closing restaurants and bars at 8 p.m.

When the government declared a state of emergency in Tokyo and other urban areas on Jan. 7, it changed little, except to urge places that serve food and drinks to close by 8 p.m. Most complied in exchange for support that includes payments of about $600 a day. 

Infections since then have fallen by more than two-thirds nationwide, even though other daily activities such as shopping and commuting have continued. The government hopes to lift the state of emergency by March 7.

Before slamming the US over masks, tell me how those Chinese-made face diapers actually prevent viruses from spreading?

Are there no other differences, say culturally, between thecUS and Japan?

If masks are so effective, and the virus so deadly, why aren’t dead American homeless piled up like cordwood?

Do you realize that the statistics on COVID-19 cases and deaths in the US are actually completely inaccurate due to horribly ina curate testing and hospitals literally paid to overcount the deaths?

Don’t fall for the propaganda. And don’t presume our so-called “representatives” are anything of the sort.

Have people died of Winnie’s Flu? Certainly. Has it been what was reported in the USA? Certainly not. But there is no way to know because the numbers have been fudged to include people who merely had it or might have had it, or even died of gunshot wounds or car accidents.

Don’t spread fake news. The Japanese have probablt reached herd saturation. But think back to your Army NBC trainjng. Would a mask like what we’re required to wear not protect against any biological agent you’re ever heard of?

Took the words right out of my mouth, Set.

Below is a detailed, factual, and referenced article on how the CDC abruptly changed the way COVID deaths were to be reported on death certificates.

Fùck all of you who buy into this covid bùllshit.

Your complete ignorance and unawareness is destroying civilization.

Have you not noticed the constant stream of lies coming out of media and government? Have you not noticed them shamelessly push an ever-changing and contradictory narrative when it fits their agenda? Does that trigger nothing in your insect brain? Do you have no questions? Are you that trusting of people and organizations that seldom have your best interests in mind?

If covid was a real thing, the rich and powerful wouldn’t leave their houses. And if they really really really had to, they would wear a top class hazmat suit instead of a mask you can blow massive particles of cigarette smoke through. Most people breathe through the gap between their mask and face anyway. Nobody really cares. Subconsciously everyone knows it is for show… submission, avoiding social stigma, virtue signaling… whatever weakness of character you need to conceal.

Those who truly know… the scientists and the doctors… they go through the motions but don’t act like they do when working with a real disease. Watch how they act and dress with ebola. They care about that.

Same with politician. It is easy to find a picture of them with no mask when they think nobody is watching. They are full of shìt.

(Not unlike all the global warming scolds (if that is even still a thing) buying seaside property.)

If one more asshòle frets over their impending death from covid (<1500) with a cigarette hanging out of their mouth (50,000+/year) I'm going to gut them.

Korea seems to have honest numbers. American numbers are bullshìt and everybody knows they are bullshìt… and if you can't see that clearly, you need to be put to sleep to save humanity.

In Korean, 97% of the <1500 corona deaths have been over the age of 65. Almost everybody younger who died has an obvious additional health problem (so has everyone older). It is suspected the ones who didn't has an undiagnosed health problem. America has an age distribution with slightly more deaths in their 40s and 50s… but America has a population of fat fùcks that live on fast food with an àss the shape of their sofa gobbling their diabetes pills so it doesn't take their feet… so that is to be expected.

More people in Korea have been killed in the street by cars every year. Several times the number of Koreans died from extreme obesity. How often do you see an extremely obese Korean? How many have you seen die?

If you fear covid you have a mental health problem. And if you don't want to get that treated, you deserve no respect… just constant ridicule.

All the numbers are there. It is rather easy to recognize the fake numbers if you try. It is easy to notice things like a lack of deadly clusters in dense filthy homeless camps filled with unhealthy people.

If you refuse to question this and you refuse to explain the odd statistics and situations, even to yourself, you have a mental illness.

That's fine. Lots of people have mental illnesses and they function more or less. And as long as you leave me alone, you can go be crazy somewhere else all you want.

But when the crazy guy on the street starts affecting my life, coming at me with a jagged broken bottle, that's when he gets it upside the head with a crowbar.

And all you covid fear mongers are just starting to affect my life with your mental illness.

And it's about time the remaining sane members of society knock you the fùck out before you fùck things up for everybody.

Think I'm wrong? Tell me why. Try to use facts and not the feels. Can't do that? Go eat a dìck.
