> male street touts were prominent among those infected.
Does it make me a bad person to wish that all the touts have it?
How about if I wish them to have a rapid onset version that renders them harmless in less than an hour?yes because they can transmit it to innocent non-Touts
Then its morally okHow about if I wish them to have a rapid onset version that renders them harmless in less than an hour?
You really nailed it there. Only thing I'd add is a cute girl in a short skirt handing out tissues. (And if it were Shinagawa, then a Jehovah Witness, and an animal shelter)No shutdowns, the Japanese Way will be to reassign large numbers of sprightly ojisans from the Bicycle Parking Enforcement Teams and the Please Do Not Smoke on the Street Teams and the Municipal Illuminated Baton Waving and Whistle Blowing Reservist Pool to flood the area (between 10am and 6pm) handing out leaflets and urging the cooperation of minna-sama in enacting jishuku with through repetitive megaphone announcements. They may be backed up by a couple of policemen cycling around menacingly on their bicycles.
Wouldn't be surprised to see a member here catch it from going there in the past few weeks
Would really help to have an expert opinion about that.
Would probably not help as a decent expert would say "we really don't know for sure". But I think at one point around one third of the newly found cases in Tokyo were traced back to hostess clubs...
It might be that in order to get infected you need to spend longer time in a closed space with the spreader. So like sitting next to a hostess talking to her and not like standing in a train where the doors open fully every few minutes.
You are right....transmission of germs is probably also possible if you just stand next to an infected guy on the bus, but probability is quite low. If you sit next to a hostess talking, it's not only aerosols in the air but also the usual spit droplets while speaking. Probability goes up...if you kiss goes up again.

It does seem like public transportation can be a major breeding ground, particularly in cities where the vast majority of residents commute by train or subway...which would explain why NYC is on fucking fire right now and Chicago and D.C. are following suit. I suppose the fact that Tokyo isn't following the disastrous track is probably a testament to Japanese just being more hygienic and obedient about safety measures than your average filthy American urban dwellers.
Unless you're going round licking the grab straps, need to be damned unlucky to pick up a spray of virus. YMMV.
Westbound Chuo Line at Kanda just before 6pm Thursday evening: had seats available. Stayed remarkably uncrowded to Kichijoji, where I got off. Estimated 97% of passengers wearing masks. Windows open.

I noticed that today too. And the small コンビニs were all shut down on the platforms.This week trains have become remarkably less crowded.
You are lucky that you didn’t get hoed down.Well I TOFTT and cut through Kabukicho

I think it's not only kabukicho. I have been distracted, but I think I saw news on the TV that a lot of bigger chains shut down for that period, like Jonathan's. Don't remember the others, but I lived very close to a Jonathan's before. Was kinda the fallback where I never even went onceAsian Feeling/Relax have shut down from the 3rd to the 13th. Expect plenty of other Kabukicho venues to follow suit.
