japan apparently learned the trick to keep cases low - don’t test.
it has to be rampant there. can they suppress death tolls? they are a critical early data source for a westernized country.
That's an unproven statement, and consider what Japan has done different. The government encouraged as many workers as possible to work from home and did that the 2nd? or 3rd week in February. That's unprecedented. As is encouraging cancelling K-12 classes until the first week in April. One friend who lives there says they expect to be working from home for 3-4 weeks. Some people still go into work, but the trains have noticeably less people (well, the line that my friend takes has less people).
