Most things are going on as normal. Number of cases seems to be pretty low. Some say Japan has dodged a bullet; it's the "low contact" culture. No hugs & handshakes. I mean it's definitely not to do with the fact the country has amongst the world's lowest rates of testing.https://twitter.com/Summer_Plums/status/1241194207320121349 …
Lower rates of testing just means the numbers are a few days behind reality, the way exponential growth works. My prediction is Japan has a slightly lower R0 due to the low contact culture... Which means shit is going to hit the fan badly in, oh, the next 2-4 weeks.pic.twitter.com/wKZ1afyKj9
Why you want the worst to happen in Japan?
I don't "want" the worst for Japan. I'm predicting what I think is the most likely outcome at this point. I live in Japan, I hope this doesn't happen, but I think it will.
If testing numbers are low, looks at number of deaths. Still relatively low.
There is some suspicion that deaths also aren't being accounted properly (e.g. as pneumonia). It's not entirely clear. It does seem to be the case that progression is slower than in other countries, because the medical system isn't overwhelmed, but I think it's a matter of time.
