      Those are not my articles or my claims. I actually wrote about why those articles were wrong, and have more on the way. You do not understand what Japan did. There's a difference between blustering and studying interesting examples that break (some people's) expectations.

          So full us in - what did Japan do right? Because their policies were clearly far less draconian than hot spots in the US. Is their population just healthier?

          Their population is healthier. They don't start injecting toxins into a newborn on the 1st day of their life.

          I think the counter argument here is people looking at countries like Peru. Very strict and long military lockdown. That alone would enforce the 3 c’s efficiently but they now have one of the highest mortality rates in the world. Something is not adding up.

          If you study so deeply, why are your comments so dismissive and ignorant? You need to try harder to overcome your limitations.

          I understand what Japan didn’t do. Japan didn’t order everyone to stay home and close all “nonessential” businesses. Just like every major public health agency recommended prior to 2020.

          I genuinely have no idea how to formulate what Japan did into a policy that the West could copy. Were they really good at the ‘new normal’ (basically the three Cs)? That’s great and all but it’s not some recipe to give people their lives back, which is how Japan is presented...

          ...nothing where ‘social distancing’ is a key component counts as ‘giving people their lives back’. Is it somehow enough just to ban crowds and hugs? I sometimes see that in the “Japanese culture is just good at this” sense but that’s hard to believe...
