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"

quote:

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.


quote:

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.”


quote:

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


It's as good a theory as any I've heard.

And?

Was this part of the report incorrect?

Are they still riding subways and congregating in public gatherings?

2500 cases in a country of 128 million and one of highest population density rates in the

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.

Not a bad solution but only 474 deaths?

Either the thing is just gonna blow up completely of just flat line.

I starting to think it'll be the latter.

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

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?
