    Defiant drinkers: With the Olympics’ opening ceremony two days away, Japan's attempts to curb a virus surge by asking Tokyo's restaurants and bars to close by 8 p.m., if not entirely, has seen drinkers moving outdoors and bars bustling with customers.http://apne.ws/TuaE0sd

        I'm just feeling like Japan's government is a referee in a pro wrestling match between the Olympics and the public health. And the Olympics just grabbed a folding chair that is also somehow a chainsaw.

        Aaaand while just 8% of Japan’s population are fully vaccinated. They can always make more life sized dolls to replace the dead COVID victims.https://youtu.be/iheEi6Mzu1s

        The only way this could be more of a disaster is if Godzilla showed up in a pissy mood.

        Ppl at bars are the worst when it comes to spreading rona. Drunk ppl spit a lot when they talk. The music is loud so they talk louder thus projecting airborne particles further. If you did a scan of the bar it would be the equivalent of Niagara Falls compared to non-drinkers.
