I’m going to have to pass on the link. I don’t do the Times. But thanks.
No worries. I guess I’m just looking at how this thing is trending. It’s kind of akin to when the Titanic first hit the iceberg and the band played on and the staff served drinks so people wouldn’t panic.
Tokyo is being reported as a virtual ghost town today and foreign governments are urging their citizens to bug out as fast as they can.
If, right now, this is mere panic one advantage is that if an evacuation of Tokyo is eventually needed then the more people who leave ahead of time means fewer people to clog things up later on if/when the poop hits the fan.
I guess I am thinking that a little ‘panic’ right now might save some lives later on. Worse thing that can happen from people getting out of Tokyo for a while is a massive inconvenience. If I lived there I know I’d be on the road right now.
