The claim that Japan had a large outbreak in March and April but hid it with insufficient testing is no longer tenable. Or at the very least, you have to move it to April!

Sorry, I should be more precise. The untenable claim is that an outbreak happened with the same kind of mortality rate we see in the US and Europe. You could conceivably still argue that lots of people got sick in Japan except that nearly everyone was asymptomatic.

Was Japan one of the places hit by SARS? Could there be some sort of left over immunity from that?

The problem with that theory is that SARS didn't spread very widely.

It’s the samurai spirit and loyalty to the Emperor that kept the virus at bay. Sanbon jime time!

In the Lazio region in Italy, overall mortality is *down* 7%: no car accidents, no work related deaths... baffling.
