Indeed, given what I remember of Tokyo's morning peak hour density in subway cars it would have gone ballistic or will yet. Although they do use routinely use masks even in normal times.
The cynical take is that aging demographic is one of the biggest problems facing Japan today and this is a way to deal with it.

- lightgreen 7y ago> The cynical take is that aging demographic is one of the biggest problems facing Japan today and this is a way to deal with it The problem is aging population are people who 40 or 50 now, not people who are 70 and 80. The latter may die because of cv, but the problem of aging population goes nowhere because people in 40 or 50 will get older eventually. This my cynical response to you cynical take.
- seemslegit 7y agoThe current 65+ bracket is already pretty heavy - heavier than Italy, the 40-50 bracket at the top of the inverted pyramid and will become a big problem couple of decades from now. This is cynical nitpicking.
