I don't have insider info or anything. I just don't believe any of these lockdowns have actually been for covid so hearing how Australia and Japan are both extending theirs made me post that. Could just be heavy precautions for the Olympics, I guess.
Japan has had no lockdowns at all. They have been unable to pass new laws to date.
There have been a few ‘states of emergency’ declared by the Tokyo governor. These are administrative and non-binding, and only apply to licensed businesses who opt in to the incentive scheme.
All measures to date have been ‘voluntary’ — bribes from the federal or metropolitan government incentivise businesses to comply.
I'm just referencing stuff like:

Japan has more freedom than most of us. Who would have thought that after ww2
I wish our immigration laws were as strict as Japan
