Anyone thinking regional quarantines will work needs to read this. It just worsens the spread as people flee, and you can't block all roads in a country the size of US. (Also, Italy, too, calamitously dragged its foot on pushing for universal mask wearing as early as possible).https://twitter.com/Atul_Gawande/status/1243880262737563649 …

quarantining returnees though. My students who chose to leave the U.S. are all on mandatory quarantine for 14 days.

Could this not be the difference between mass testing and efficient testing? What's the evidence of the claim that Japan is "screwing everything but masks"? I'm not saying it's wrong; I just think we need verification.

I suspect Japan was coding Covid cases as pneumonia & now that Olympics are postponed they're beginning to deal with the outbreak. Mask wearing certainly helps, but we should expect to see an explosion of catch-up cases in Tokyo & Osaka due to their inaction.

I gotta think the electronic toilet/bidet thing helps. Presumably reduces fecal–oral transmission
