The main reason is that most people in Japan have a Buddhist mentality, and they may be afraid only when tigers chase their own doors. I even think that others used to be alarmist or something. And most young people in Japan, in particular, have this mentality. Because I heard that young people are not easily infected, they don't wear masks when they go out, and there is no fear when they go to crowded places. On the contrary, the elderly in Japan have done a good job in preventive measures. I bought a lot of anti-infection masks at home, as well as disinfectant to disinfect my home.
When the epidemic first broke out, the Japanese government was very Buddhist. Because a large-scale nude sacrifice was held in Japan earlier, and no one took preventive measures, such as wearing a mask, and all of them were crowded in one place. If one person or several people are ill, how many people can it infect? I feel numb when I think about it.
But fortunately, now the Japanese have gradually realized that the epidemic is serious and uncontrollable. The masks in the supermarket have long been snapped up, and the supply of masks is in short supply. The price of masks has also increased several times like some supermarkets in our country. But many people still buy it. After all, when the country is in crisis, they try their best to buy things with money, no matter how much it costs. Primary and secondary schools have also begun to suspend classes, and students try to avoid going to crowded places. Maybe they will stop studying like our country and choose online teaching.
However, at present, the epidemic detection technology in Japan is not advanced enough, and only about 300 people can be detected every day. It is not feasible to continue at this speed. It will take some time to control the epidemic, but it also requires the cooperation of the Japanese people. In the face of national disaster, I still hope that Japan can overcome the epidemic as soon as possible.
