What explains this? Not sure, it may have something to do with ivermectin as it seems Japanese health authorities rolled out the drug for Covid-19 during their last spike/wave. But also, there may be some sort of natural immunity the Japanese have that has really kicked into overdrive. It's unclear, it's probably a combination of things, but whatever is going on it appears that Covid-19 is failing to reproduce. Think of it like a couple that are infertile. Covid-19 in Japan appears to be breaking down genetically and is increasingly finding it difficult to replicate itself. | What explains this?
