Lock Down

Tony Bev · Guru

For whatever reason, Japan has not tested a lot of people
There may be people who have died, without knowing they had the Coronavirus, and not been recorded

They had been through the SARS in previous years, and probably knew about hygiene

They wear masks, if/when they get the sniffles, or when they are in crowds

They usually do what they are told, by the authorities

The above is only my opinion, after surfing the net, looking for Coronavirus stories

I will assume, that England had many more cases, for the following reasons

They were slow to lockdown

They do not usually do as they are told, by the authorities

England lockdown - 65 mill. people 280,000 infected - 443,000 dead

Japan no lockdown - 126mill. people 20,000 infected - 1000 dead

What do we do wrong ?

Maybe it's the way that we report the numbers Recoup - England have had 280,000 people infected but 443,000 have died ?

Maybe check your figures before you post, your out by a factor of 10 for UK deaths at around 44,000.

There is more to the figures than just figures!!! Folks will be analysing the data for years. Besides how countries are recording numbers there is also the matter of who to believe. My theory is that there is a social factor at work. Hugging and kissing is accepted in some countries. Some Asian countries wear masks as a normal piece of clothing. Some countries live in very dense proximity in high rise buildings etc etc etc. So don't fall for using figures without the knowledge of what those figures really mean.
