these places not only "flattened the curve" but made that curve fall almost straight down. Their requirements are pretty strict.

Unfortunately, that mentality of closing indefinitely will lead to a great depression. At this moment, restart the economy, and just keep the cons, beaches in some cases, nursing homes (closed to visitors) and schools closed.

Tokyo's still under state of emergency? Based on those numbers, I'm really surprised they lived it by now. Makes me wonder if there's something they're not saying.[/img]

Japan is doing a pretty bad job of testing people. In the last three weeks there was something like 8 days where now tests were carried out. Japan's medical infrastructure can't support so many people getting sick so they're placing these extremely high thresholds as to what qualifies a person for a test.

Tokyo, a city of 15 million people, is averaging 150 tests a day. The numbers look low because they're artificial.
