Not sure what to think about Japan - there was never any real lockdown, people were still riding crowded trains in rush hour to companies that wouldn’t let them work remote. But it nonetheless didn’t spread much. Perhaps it’s that people obediently wore masks all the time from the very beginning? But it’s all guessing still.
