Well Abe, you gotta shave your beard off...

They haven't been social distancing.

Exactly. There's no explanation for it

Josef K

Social distancing isn't necessary with good hygiene.

Harbinger

3/24/20 5:27pm

I don't think that is true. Reading about how this virus can spread.

Josef K

If your wash your hands, wear a mask and don't touch your face its pretty tough

Tokyo's climate is very similar right now in temperature and humidity

Gee, it couldn't be that maybe the virus is not as (statistically) deadly as....

They have an immunity that the Chinese themselves don’t have?

China is a huge place with a pretty heterogeneous society

If Japan had "seen this virus a few times" already, then why wasn't it spread...

They are all germophobes. SARS was big there along with other outbreaks

3/24/20 5:16pm

I agree they are a clean society but they haven't had any large-scale lockdowns.

It definitely isn't a guarantee. However, it seems like it would help, all else

Seems it could be a blessing and a curse. I’ve been to Iceland. Very social,
