      You don't understand what Japan did. They have excellent epidemiologists. They have universal masking from early on; strong emphasis on the 3Cs (avoiding close contact, talking, crowded indoors); ventilation guides & cluster-busting through extensive public health infrastructure.

      I've written before about Japan, and have another article coming soon. See, this is the pity, we do need actual clear look at what policies worked, but people like you who don't understand specifics (lol, Japan not masking, lolol) make it harder. Japan is an *excellent* example.

          Explain California. We have all of what Japan has plus lockdowns and closures. Many times higher death rate on a per capita basis in CA. Thank you.

          prisons. meat packing plants. vast income inequality. abusive labor practices. lack of public health services. general disregard for other human beings as a cultural value.

          What is the testing rate in Japan? Are they lining up asymptomatic people to test with a garbage PCR test that wasn't meant for diagnosis?

          Millions of years of evolutionary biology "worked", in spite of our arrogance in believing anything viral in 2020 is in any way "novel".

          Masks didn't work there. 46% of Tokio population has antibodies.
