I don’t know if they have no care. They’ve just weighed the horror of staying in their home with a kid for days on end against their chances of getting infected and chosen what makes sense for them.

So they decide to risk their own and their childrens lives as well as countless others just because they cannot stand their children for more than a couple of hours. Very responsible.
- Social distancing does not exist in large cities like osaka and Tokyo. And that's a lot of people. Try to take a train at any time of the days and see if you can keep more than 10cm apart from anyone else. Good luck.
- Masks: there's no masks sold anywhere as we speak. And that's been a month already.
- Washing hands: more common than in other countries maybe, but I still see lots of guys who dont even rinse their hands after taking a piss. Both old and young.
- Listen to government: laughable claim. The government has been asking for social distancing and still in my neighborhood I can see parents and kids going together to play in parks with no care whatsoever.
- Elders in society? Ever heard of filled up nursing homes? yes, that is a thing in Japan.
