The administration in Japan seems determined to go ahead with the Olympics as scheduled for this year.
How can we blame them? The Japanese are probably immune to panic. They are a nation of people living on a string of islands that react like shattered crockery to seismic shifts.
These people have endured nuclear radiation, volcanoes, earthquakes on an almost daily basis, and tsunamis that would scare the pants off Noah.
To them, virus infection that kills off a few individuals here and there is no big deal. The odds indicate quite clearly that 9 out of 10 people who come down with the corona virus recover following a brief bout.
Apparently, such odds look pretty good to those tough Japanese who have learned to live quite comfortably with insecurity.
