I’ve lived in Japan for almost 37 years . The general populace is easily manipulated / controlled . I have given up many travel / party / concert / etc. opportunities because I will not wear a mask . The only time I’ve worn one is when I went in for my yearly ( free ) physical . No choice . Next door neighbor wears one outside when working alone in her garden . Another drives home from work alone and wears a mask for over 45 minutes in the car until she arrives . Kids playing in the park all wearing masks . They see me , and shout “ Where is your mask ? “ I tell them in Japanese that masks are useless and that I am a space alien so am immune to the virus .
Ok, now that's great.
