It’s a good thing, people staying home, staying healthy, letting those infected know without infecting others.

2020-02-28 14:20:10 +0000 UTCIt does seem surreal, esp seeing images of hazmat people spraying cities and not actually seeing them anywhere here. I hope 🤞 this all gets better soon,

2020-02-28 14:18:14 +0000 UTCI don’t know 🤷🏻♂️ the water is quite hot so I don’t think it survives well. The mineral content is also quite high and not good for viruses. As a non-scientist, my answer is “dunno” but I never got sick from them in 20 years.

2020-02-28 14:17:31 +0000 UTCThanks for doing this video, it's unique getting a perspective from Japan on the situation. It was a little heartbreaking to see Tokyo Station so empty, but really inspiring to see Japan to come together so quickly.

2020-02-27 05:38:37 +0000 UTCMight be a silly question, but do you think Onsens are still safe or should we avoid them during our visit?

2020-02-27 03:12:37 +0000 UTCHi John, any concerns of traveling to Japan during the Sakura season? Especially around tourist crowded areas such as Kyoto, etc. Additionally, has Japan barred any incoming flights from China yet to try and contained the virus spreading? Thanks!

2020-02-27 02:56:38 +0000 UTCHi John, thank you for answering questions as always. How are the locals reacting to foreigners in Japan now? I’m heading there on a car trip with my friends in mid-march. Driving down to Kyushu from Haneda Airport through Mie and Shikoku. We are Singaporeans, Chinese in ethnicity, do you think the locals will freak out if we enter their restaurants or store?

2020-02-27 02:34:34 +0000 UTCHi John! We have hotel reservations and flight tickets for Hokkaido in mid May. I guess we can wait it out a little longer before canceling don't you think?
