Crushingly crowded public transport. The world's oldest population. A huge outbreak on a cruise ship. A state of emergency without penalties. It sounded like a recipe for a coronavirus catastrophe, and there were fears among public health experts that Japan could become the next Italy or New York. But it hasn't happened. The country hasn't exactly escaped unscathed. About 800 people have died and more than 16,000 have been infected in a country of 126 million...

For your interest.
Also why didn’t Seoul get a huge outbreak after South Korea was one of the hardest hit countries in the beginning? Ditto for Rome.
I have a bottle of Quercitin in my medicine cabinet -- just in case.
Doesn’t surprise me one bit.
Perhaps those other countries secured their care centers.
The Japanese are impeccable about cleanliness
It seems that at least four, and perhaps as many as six, states thought that it was a great idea to quarantine people in nursing homes who hadn’t been residents previous to being diagnosed.
That would tend to magnify things greatly.
While that may not be the dumbest idea ever, but it at least deserves honourable mention.
All the family homes I stayed in Japan were extremely clean. Leaving your shoes at the door helps. Since living there in late 60s weve never worn our shoes in the house.
Were there any superspeaders in America deliberately contaminating surfaces and crowds?

Yes, and part of their good hygiene is wearing masks. In the winter time a good percentage of people wear masks to nurse a cold.
Another reason is perhaps no country faces as many natural disasters per year as a Japan.— earthquake, typhoons, tsnamis, volcanoes, and high rain mud slides are the things they put up with.
Being prepared for disaster is inbred.
Many people wont want to hear this, but in Japan, Singapore and S. Korea, people wear masks.
A Lesson from Japans Fight against Coronavirus: Masks Help
I’ve been taking it since the second week in April, along with extra zinc and grape seed extract. Every little thing that you take that increases your odds for a good outcome if you come in contact with the CCP virus is worth it. Whatever works!

Easy to get tests (they had the first drive thru testing, I believe) and aggressive tracking & tracing.
New Zealand pretty much stopped the virus in it’s tracks mostly by not letting the infected in. They closed down the borders and mandated testing & quarantine of anyone coming in for x amount of days.

Nice to be an island.
A daily Centrum Silver, as well as additional Vitamins B12, C, D3, and Zinc.
I’m holding off on Quercitin for now.
They also consume an a@@load of iodine.
Iodine is antiviral.
Ping to my theory re: japan.
Japanese are the Germans of Asia...brilliant engineers, scientists, precision manufacturing, medicine, chemists etc.
