Japan's secret to CV-19 success?Is it simple as wearing masks and never handshaking?

Nobody really seems to know why They don't do massive testing like SK and they aren't using totalitarian tactics to quarantine and isolate like SK.
They haven't shut down the country as well even though schools are closed. 474 CV deaths but "experts" say there might be an "explosion"
It's as good a theory as any I've heard.

People have been riding crowded subways, congregating in parks to view the cherry blossoms, shopping, drinking and dining, comforted by Japan’s relatively low number of confirmed coronavirus cases and deaths.

It’s either they did something right,” said Dr. Peter Rabinowitz, co-director of the University of Washington MetaCenter for Pandemic Preparedness and Global Health Security, “or they didn’t, and we just don’t know about it yet.”

Dr. Saito said that part of Japan’s seeming resistance to infection may result from measures common in the culture, including frequent hand-washing and bowing instead of shaking hands. People are also much more likely to wear masks on trains and in public spaces. “It’s a kind of social distancing,” Dr. Saito said

I’m down with the US adopting the bow. That would be bad arse.

Their case numbers escalated quickly after the olympics were formally postponed.

Well I mean if you don’t test for it, you can’t really say it’s a problem. Maybe if we stopped testing for it we could get back to work and back to normal as well.

Also staying at home and watching fuzzy porn works well in Japan.

Lots of Saki and all that radiation from the nuclear meltdown have made them immune.

Don't eat bats, mice, or those armadillo looking things. Chinese people are backward. Ban me.

Yeah shaking hands is a pretty stupid tradition.

If you commit suicide before anyone knows you have it, did you really ever have it?

Masks are the secret, imo. What if there's a chance that everyone wearing masks means we could start back up the country? It has to be worth a try.
It doesn't make any sense why we haven't tried yet, tbh. For some reason spending 6 trillion dollars and kicking off an economic depression is easier?

Its all about the masks, its always been about the masks. Not demanding everyone wear mask will be the issue that get harped on by the democrats after all this is over. Just common sense.

They also don’t let thousands of Chinese Nationals into their country every month.

Japan’s secret is they are clean as hell, don’t shake hands, wear masks, & very very respectful of other people.
Posted on 4/3/20 at 7:01 am to RD Dawg
I thought too that Chinese weren’t “welcome” in Japan?

They also are a fricking island, hate the Chinese, and can be very restrictive who gets in and out

Asian countries have adopted mask wearing as a normal cultural thing for years now. People wear them without much thought and nobody thinks its weird or alarming to see them.
Here in America people are self conscious about wearing them and also we get weirded out when we do see them.
