It seems somehow Japanese have a stronger immunity to the virus or suffer less severe symptoms.

Interesting theory. I guess, along with Japanese, Australians, Kiwis, Taiwanese, South Koreans, Hong Kongers etc share this unique "strong immunity"? Could be worthy of some medical research.

"Also helping to boost the market...was a federal regulatory approval for the second phase of testing on a potential COVID-19 vaccine..."
