Almost overnight, Japan has become a stunning, and somewhat mysterious, coronavirus success story.

Daily new COVID-19 cases have plummeted from a mid-August peak of nearly 6,000 in Tokyo, with caseloads in the densely populated capital now routinely below 100, an 11-month low.

The bars are packed, the trains are crowded, and the mood is celebratory, despite a general bafflement over what, exactly, is behind the sharp drop.

How long ago did they approve Ivermectin?

Chinese agents not continually releasing new viruses could explain it. Japan does have excellent border control.

Maybe it’s because their DNA is strikingly similar to the DNA of the virus creators.

"Vaccines, Masks?"

Or maybe they just stopped testing everyone five times a week?

The same time the Wuhan virus rates started dropping.

Approved Ivermectin right after they threw the jab out of the country, about 2 months ago.

"The bars are packed, the trains are crowded"

The swift spreading Delta variant has had its run - they have herd immunity in the big city. They got it the old fashioned way, through naturally acquired immunity.

It is one of the most densely populated areas on Earth, and they did not lock down. Daily life is so routinely jam packed, that they hire Subway Pushers, to squash people in, so that the train doors can close.

With those numbers it sounds like they reached natural immunity.

They got vaccine supplies slowly and in limited quantity, so they used a priority list for who got them.
Bottom line: perhaps they got natural herd immunity?

Now comes Delta Plus….
Former U.S. Food and Drug Administration Director Scott Gottlieb wrote on Twitter on October 17: “We need urgent research to determine whether this kind of’Delta+’ is more easily spread. Is there a partial immune escape

The disease will run its course. Period.

Bureaucrats and their edicts don’t control nature.

Bureaucrats are not scientist.

Bureaucrats are affirmative action goons.

Mysterious? You mean, a month Japan’s top government medical official said it was time for Ivermectin. Not so mysterious. Neither is the lack of MSM reporting about it.
