Why is Japan so Calm during the Wuhan Coronavirus Epidemic
It has been several weeks since the coronavirus epidemic broke out of the central Chinese city of Wuhan. As China went into crisis mode, with the government struggling to stop a virus that has now infected tens of thousands and killed hundreds, Japan, as the next-door neighbor, inadvertently faces the pressure of how to prevent similar mass infection. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the number of people who travel between China and Japan, Japan has now become the country with the largest number of confirmed coronavirus cases outside China.
