MAGA! Make Amurika Grate Agin!

Don’t you mean “selfishness”?

The 1st Amendment is supposed to guarantee the freedom to peaceably assembly. If we suspend the Constitution for this, it opens up a slippery slope, in my opinion, since all it would take is the outbreak of another new disease, even the rumor of one, to shut down everything again.

I tried to spend as much time as possible with my mom whenever I visited her, which was usually 2 times a year, even though that cost me a lot of money in air fare and lost wages. And I take solace that all 6 of her grandchildren were able to see her before she passed away, including her two grandkids in Japan.

However, my company is considering having everyone report to work starting from April 1. Right now, my company wants me to send them my body temperature reading every day. So far, nothing out of the ordinary.

I wasn’t able to travel back to the US for the funeral because of this corona crap. And if I had gone back to the US, and arrived back in Japan on March 26 or later, I would have had to spend 14 days in “self-quarantine” in Japan.

Here in Japan, the corona outbreak started much earlier than in the US, and the population density of this country is much higher than in the US, and yet, we have only had less than 2000 confirmed cases of corona so far (excluding cruise ships), and that’s in large part because people wear face masks in public.
