No. They simply don't test enough and they have good incentives not to do so. And please don't inconsiderately project your stereotypical image of Japanese, or Asian, on this matter unless you had spent a good amount of time (>20 yrs) in a relevant community.
- unishark 7y agoThe article gave several problems with that theory. If Japan's curve was where it is "supposed to be" weeks ago when people were making the same argument you are now, where are the piles of bodies and overwhelmed ICU's? They may eventually get there of course, since anything besides lockdown seems very risky these days. But the passage of time has proved your argument wrong time and again. More consideration is needed to understand what has happened there. Though I certainly think they should just ramp up the testing and make it easier.
