One thing I didn't expect coming back to America was how steep a drop in food quality between Japanese markets & restaurants versus American ones (even premium grocers like Whole Foods). My stomach is not at all happy with me five days in.

A brief thread about life in Japan is about how people seem to be reacting to COVID. #searlsjp

Instead, I'm shocked. America gave up

In July, when our prefecture (Nara, pop. 1.3M) had *literally zero* est. active COVID cases, I would go days without seeing an unmasked face. Drivers of empty cars wore masks. Restaurants were open but virtually empty. People shopped in stores, but batched trips. Roads were empty
Here we are in August, back in our state (Ohio, pop. 11.6M) with ~20k est. active COVID cases, and so far I've seen 0 people in masks who weren't working service industry jobs. Drove by a brewpub that doubled outdoor seating and was PACKED last night. Road traffic similar to 2019
