    Why Japan appears to have avoided a mass coronavirus outbreak

    More than one way. I think the US contained at the start.

    Japan didn't shut it down

    Wishful thinking is not leadership.

    Sometimes, it is. I just started Erik Larson's new book on Churchill during the start of the war. Churchill was being criticized by some MPs for being too optimistic in the face of the loss of France.

    Not saying Trump is Churchillian, don't twist.
    Trump is Trumpian and I said this at the start. He is once again going to be criticized by the doom and gloom crowd for not joining in.

    Leaders lead. Followers follow. Same as ever
    One more week and then we're going to start going back to work. Oldsters should stay home and everyone under 60 that doesn't have a pre-existing condition such as diabetes or heart disease should start working.

    I'm ready to go back to work now. If I'm going to lose my job I want to go down swinging. Thankfully I have plenty of money in my 401K to live on if I do lose my job.
    Hope you’re in a state that deems your line of work essential and you can return to work if you need to. I do agree it’s a pretty fine line to walk in terms of public health concerns versus economic concerns. The “lockdown” can’t last forever in this country.

    A "Second Wuhan" was feared. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's popularity rating plummeted and critics called on him to resign.

    But the wild contagion calamity and the inundation of medical facilities seemingly hasn't happened. Why?

    "Japan relied on a strategy of quickly identifying clusters of new cases and then imposing containment measures to prevent a larger outbreak," Bruce Klingner, a specialist in Korean and Japanese affairs as the senior research fellow for Northeast Asia at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News. "With relatively low numbers of COVID cases in Japan, there has been less international focus on the government's response than on South Korea's energetic testing program. While Seoul's actions have been described as the gold standard for the world, Japan adopted a less energetic, critics would assert lackadaisical, testing, and closure strategy."


    As of Tuesday, Japan – a nation with more than 126 million – had only documented 1,140 cases and 42 deaths. According to Bloomberg, Japan to-date has one of the lowest per capita number of infections within the realm of developed countries.

    I deem that getting paid and generating income is essential. I don't care what the state thinks, I'm going to work in a week.

    Fair enough. Many are going to follow suit around the same time you do, I’m curious what the responses will be.

    They are a very clean people.

    By the way, my wife (prop) was pretty pumped about the Easter date. Told me we are back in business according to Trump. She's become quite the fan but her affections can be fickle.
