They've shut their borders to virtually everyone since the Olypics ended, they've got one of the highest rates of vaccination in the G20, they also follow the masks, distancing and hygiene rules quite carefully, so that could explain why its not spread as much over there. However there's also a huge stigma attached to catching covid in Japan, which could lead to under reporting, also the presentation of the data may have been a bit inaccurate in the past, it may be better now, but we dont know.

- treeman79 5y agoFor past year anyone catching covid at my wife’s school caused a massive disruption for dozens of people. With insane rules where sick kid positive still required teacher mother to go in anyway as well as other sibling. But anyone in the teachers class would be quarantined. A simple stomach ache meant kid was home for 3 days. They figured that one out fast. After a 3 months of total insanity you started hearing kids say things like,” my momma gonna swat me if goto the nurse”. Teachers were guilt tripped if they got sick. So Teachers would not report any symptoms, etc. Now they just test everyone weekly regardless of vaccine or not.
