[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8006468, member: 22779"] But, again, and I HAVE to keep pointing this out to you [USER=6716779]@Zardnaar[/USER], I live in a country with nearly 8 times your population, with a population density probably 100 times greater, an easy 40 minute flight from Shanghai and a bit over 2 hours to Beijing, with millions of Chinese tourists arriving on a daily basis before the travel restrictions which weren't implemented until mid-April, where there is NO LOCKDOWN at all. Legally, the Japanese government cannot lock down the country. They do not have that power. The Japanese Constitution does not include a war measures act because Japan's not allowed to go to war with anyone. There is no Riot Act in Japan. At best, the government could request that people stay home. Yet, we've had few deaths and the lowest rates of the G7. If you remove that cruise ship from the equation, Japan has had about 300 deaths, TOTAL. So, you can keep talking about how the New Zealand solution is the best way all you like, but, it's simply not true and it's ignoring facts. Or, to put it another way, we've largely wiped out Covid without any emergency powers and a barely noticeable lockdown. [/QUOTE]
