Still getting people in my comments insisting that Japan must be hiding tens of thousands of new cases, because the decline in the official numbers doesn't match their expectations of how outbreaks happen and are contained. But the decline is real, not an artifact of testing.https://twitter.com/motokorich/status/1259778325410508800 …

If we don't pay attention to the baffling geographical discrepancies in the impact of this disease, then we will simply be ceding this ground to whatever "covid truthers" eventually emerge as a cohesive political force, and it will be infinitely harder to talk about this sanely

For the time being, you can still say "the central dogma of how major outbreaks happen and are contained doesn't seem to fit the facts" and not be declaring your political allegiance to something. But that window is closing. Already I'm getting called a right-winger! (Hail hydra)

Yes, this virus seems to 'want' to spread much more quickly in some areas than others. It has been noticed by some, but it fits the narrative of the 'succesful' governments to say it's all due to their policy. Vit. D is my best guess right now, but not sure if Japan fits.
