Abstract

This article seeks to analyze the COVID-19 pandemic’s impacts in Japan, which has a low rate of contagion and mortality, going against the fears that due to its position as the country with the oldest society in the world. The goal is to show that, despite the Japanese indicators being much better than those of the USA, Brazil and several European countries, which suffered criticism concerning their populations and governments’ attitudes, the
coping policies implemented by Japan and the behaviors and reactions of Japanese society also did not always occur in a coherent way.
