@JamesMelville JPN approach is focused on clusters. First, we tell everybody they should go home if they have a fever or cough. Don't come to hospitals. Avoid packed and closed space with poor ventilation, exactly like the cruise ship.
@JamesMelville High risk facilities like caring home for the elderly are on high alert. Four consecutive days of cold symptoms justify medical assistance. PCR testing is provided for public health purposes, not for the patient. If COVID of multiple patients, a cluster, is discovered,
@JamesMelville then the government goes aggressive. Trace all possible contacts and put them under remote observation for two weeks. Educate the mass about how this infection cluster occurred. Contact tracing is done by non medical personnel. This way JPN protects scarce medical resources.
