Just after 8 pm tonight, the governor of Tokyo gave a press conference urging the people of Tokyo to stay home this upcoming weekend. It was a plea, not a demand or an order. They even specified it is not a lockdown.
Covid-19 numbers are shooting up in Tokyo, with 41 new diagnoses just today (16 on Monday and then 17 on Tuesday), totaling 74 in 3 days.
Considering the forecast calls for rain all weekend in Tokyo, maybe people will actually listen. I certainly hope so.
In 2017 my family headed to Tokyo. My husband had a new job and my son and I came along for the ride. This move was my second move to Japan - the first was for a year in 2002. At that time I was a single, recent college graduate. Moving abroad as a family was a whole different ball of wax. As I live this crazy life in Japan, I track our adventures and my observations, creating an unofficial guidebook to the city.
