Diffusion : site de FP (Foreign Policy).Date : 14 mai 2020Despite indifferent lockdowns and poor testing, Japan seems to be skipping the worst of the pandemic.

It has tested just 0.185 percent of its population, its social  distancing has been halfhearted, and a majority of Japanese are critical of the government’s response. Yet with among the lowest death rates in the world, a medical system that has avoided an overloading crisis, and a declining number of cases, everything seems to be going weirdly right.
