COVID-19 Update: April 20, 2020 (1)

102 new cases reported in Tokyo today. As the numbers continue to rise, a large number of people continue living life as if everything was alright, with no thought given to “social distancing”. Thousands continue to crowd into shopping districts and a visit to the local store to buy essential items often becomes a family outing. Also, 25 deaths were reported in Japan today, the highest single-day number so far. Will Japan pay a very heavy price for this careless approach towards dealing with the coronavirus crisis?
