Coronavirus continues constraining daily life in Tokyo, less at “lockdown” levels and more at “a million inconveniences incurred and natural rhythms forgone”, probably magnified at certain people/businesses/etc. It’s a holiday weekend. Shops at ~30% usual capacity (by eyeball).

Can you elaborate on your risk assessment?

It goes something along lines of “In event of a pandemic, would I prefer to be dealing with it from a well-stocked permanent home next to best medical facilities in Japan or from temporary housing while straining family to cover us?” and “Estimate of 100k+ cases in Japan: 10%”

Canada to date has had 10 cases, all of which were imported or close relatives of imported cases; no deaths and no community transmission. We're already seeing changes in how people behave here.

I'm guessing that Covid19 will be responsible for a minimum of -100 deaths in Canada this year. Zero direct deaths, and at least a hundred influenza deaths *avoided* due to changes in behaviour which reduce the odds of transmission.
