Yes, Japan appears to be much 'saner', relative to its other US-controlled satellites in W Europe.
The testing mania is quite a thing, I agree, but it's extremely problematic (hence my comment in the Austrian Constitutional Court's questionnaire concerning the importance of the test regime, which is the bedrock of the entire mandate crap).
A sizable chunk of the test numbers in Covidistan, though, derives from the fact that kindergarten kids and school kids are tested 2-3 times per week; this is mandatory (incl. shaming and bullying, of course) and it's an absolute abomination, as well as an abandonment of any 'pedagogical' ethics and responsibilities: the children are betryed by those who society puts forward to look after them.
Re the 'flu season' comment--still no flu wave this winter; it's the third winter in a row now (2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22) that there's constant warnings, but no influenza wave to speak of: conincidence?
