I was told their fans are crazy but all they do is clap with those stupid sticks
Yeah, no chants, no screams. Masks must be used indoors regardless.

Why do East Asian countries have such strict covid regulations?
Their population is very ageing, much more severe ageing than Europe, their demographics of youth are fucked, still they protect oldies, i.e. people at risk from covid, at all costs? Purely from economic perspective, it's dumb, and it doesn't make demographic situation any better.
Maybe it will sound a bit cynical, but letting retired oldies die from covid would easen the future for employed youngsters who are in very much minority in Japan, who basically will have to carry the huge amount of retirees on their backs for decades to come.
