        I think it depends on time as well, nights and weekends are pretty empty, but the office workers don't seem to have a choice and the difference is not that big

        I think this is where it comes down to messaging. The message has been - grocery shopping is fine, going out late at isn’t. So people are following the official advice.

        It already looked like that on the eve of the announcement (which in turn only went into effect later, at midnight). Images are illustrative examples, not irrefutable proof.

        The problem isn’t downtown, people are doing good about avoiding Yamanote stations and Roppongi and stuff but suburbs people are out and about like normal. It’s almost like they think we’ll known spots are the only danger

        Maybe. Haven’t left the house in almost 2 weeks aside from throwing out the trash in the evening, so can’t verify how bad it is around here...

        It's not the transit hubs that matter now. It's residential communities.

        Completely agree with this. People are indeed avoiding the entertainment hubs like Shinjuku or Shibuya, and seem to be generally heeding the call to go home after work. But the streets of my area in Nakano and Koenji, where people live, were as crowded as ever as life goes on.

        In the 13 years I lived there, I never saw Shibuya crossing that empty at any time of day
