Description

This episode is filled with information, insight, and theories about how COVID-19 is affecting various industries in Japan.

Note:

During this episode I discussed travelers not being reimbursed their cancellation fees due to the Go To Campaign issues. After recording I checked Japanese news and realized that the government will not compensate businesses for their losses due to customer cancellations because of the amendment.
