I'm sitting in Japan trying to understand this argument, and I fail. Japan has widespread mask use (upwards of 70% on public transit at least), but almost no testing, no lockdown or isolation measures for months, and most people here go around as if life is completely normal.https://twitter.com/DrChristineMann/status/1246262180766457857 …

Well, for one, they know how to build towers that do not lean.

Come on. They can't even make a tea bowl that isn't lumpy or mottled

As far as I can tell it is either masks or the BCG vaccine.

My speculative theory is that transmission soars when people are talking or singing loudly in close proximity. Would be interested to see how many super spreader events involved socializing in a noisy room.

There are a lot of people here that believe that Tokyo is a power keg about to go off. Lots of debate on why spread has been slow up until now… masks and hygiene are as good a theory as any IMO but may not be enough.

I'm one of those people, bcz here in Tokyo (& apparently elsewhere/everywhere) most people are doing ONLY the masks. No distancing. So Japan is about to become that missing data point: What if a country did ONLY masks, w/o the strong testing/isolation/etc of most mask countries?

Weirdly there was leadership in early March but then it stopped, I don't really understand why

Well, there’s also the fact that they’ve never been into the utterly unsanitary habit of shaking hands.
