Hi John! What happens to people who cannot pay their rent due to being laid off? Is there a rent moratorium? Stay safe, stay well, stay in, John and Kanae.

2020-05-21 03:10:08 +0000 UTCWithout there being a treatment or vaccine what are your thoughts on whether entry to Japan will even be allowed by general tourists without quarantine by end 2020 from the hardest hit countries like USA, Brazil, UK? ATM it's like they should be 🙅🏼♂️☠☠️ due to high risk?

2020-05-21 03:07:22 +0000 UTCCountries have found out the hard way that lot of freight (and mail) arrives to their country on passenger aircraft, this is now severely reduced resulting in shortages or items not available at all. What manufacturing have you heard Japan is bringing or reviving back in country that in the past was shifted off shore? (aside from face masks and sanitiser). For Australia there are a number of items where primary supply was offshore but now local production has ramped up to guarantee supply.

2020-05-21 03:02:37 +0000 UTCAny word about Japan just opening up for the ones that were stranded abroad (e.g. foreigners with working visas)? I'm not even thinking about general tourism at this point.
