Pinboard added,
Japan has 6 COVID deaths per million. South Korea has 5, and New Zealand has 4. I don't see how Japan can be considered more effective than South Korea. Japan also had to do a lot more social distancing than Korea, and is now doing test/trace/isolate.
Japan has an elderly population of 125 million and the most populous conurbation on the planet. That said, this is not a contest between countries, since the ability of the virus to cause large outbreaks seems dependent on an additional factor we haven't identified.
Considering the population of Japan is 126 million and the median age is 44, there’s no way that 125 million people here are elderly. May want to check your numbers.
I meant the population is 125M and skews elderly. I see how you could read it the other way; that's not what I meant to imply.
