Japan, South Korea managed the outbreak by testing/tracing and no lockdowns. Exactly.

Obviously Sweden couldn’t scale to the same testing as e.g South Korea, but few countries could. Perhaps one lesson would be that if you can’t scale testing then locking down until you can would be good?

Japan definitely did not do test and trace.

Japan did 90%+ mask coverage.
