From April, Japan has been on top of this for a little while. Impressive science imho.

And yet Japanese government declared victory and campaigned against protective measures leading to a massive re-ourbreak, "for the economy"

Japan has some really impressive universities and, as a rich country, is able to nurture all sorts of talent.

The Japanese ruling party is a bunch of old people from a few traditional families mixed with some new faces.

It’s very unfortunate how little these two worlds (talented people and politicians) collide.
