In the words of the great leader Abe, "It's under control." - Under media control, that is!

Disillusioned,
No truer words said.

The cover up of Fukushima was of a completely different nature vs. this coronavirus. There was a real risk of the spent fuel pools to collapse and make a 300km radius inhabitable for decades (Tokyo being part of it).
So far there is no coronavirus-19 epidemic except in China.
