Also, yikes 😨

“A coronavirus variant that originated in Spanish farm workers has spread rapidly through much of Europe since the summer, and now accounts for the majority of new Covid-19 cases in several countries - and more than 80 per cent in the UK.”

“[The researchers’] work suggests that people returning from holiday in Spain played a key role in transmitting the virus across Europe, raising questions about whether the second wave ... could have been reduced by improved screening at airports and other transport hubs.”

About the new Japan Post nail delivery robot. Look how cute and determined it is.
A video of a trial run earlier in October. It says “I’m going to go deliver the mail now!” am when it sets off, and periodically says “Mail delivery robot in operation!” Love the people of Tokyo paying it no attention 😂

Many people in Japan are taking Monday off to have a 4-day weekend, since Tuesday is a holiday (Culture Day)...to watch the COVID-19 numbers in about 2 weeks
Another significant event this weekend is the “experiment” at Yokohama Stadium with bigger crowds. Tonight: 80%, tomorrow 90%, and Sunday at full capacity.

The third event of course is Halloween. The Shibuya police are ready just in case, although crowds are expected to be smaller.
