Coronavirus: Japan's mysteriously low virus death rate
Is there something special about Japan?
If you were to listen to Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso, it is down to the "superior quality" of Japanese people. In a now notorious comment, Mr Aso said he had been asked by leaders of other countries to explain Japan's success.
"I told these people: 'Between your country and our country, mindo (the level of people) is different.' And that made them speechless and quiet."
I am perfectly willing to believe that what Aso says may be quite true. You can call me a racist. Fine. I am not Japanese.
