There's to be a "pneumonia" for people who are interested in the actual numbers.

I hope this starts happening to salarymans who show up to the office. I'd happily have my taxes raised to have the cops do it.

I see your still in the 'mystical, magical Japan' phase of your time here. Japan's economy is going to be hit by this regardless. The question is, how bad?
Japan can shut down now and take a hit for a month to six weeks OR, it lose a significant percentage of the population suffer economically for at least a year. That's IF the virus doesn't mutate and this starts all over again. Japan is doing very little to flatten the curve and it will suffer the consequences.
To answer your question. the lock down ends two weeks after the number of cases stops increasing every day.

I'll "cool off" when people stop dying due to incompetence and ignorance.
Lock down means no one leaves thier house unless absolutely necessary.
It really sounds like you lack a basic understanding of how viruses work.

Have you ever been to to California? It's a bit more than the OC.
Do you not realize that India IS ON LOCK DOWN.
The virus DOES NOT care about culture. The longer Tokyo avoids lock down, the more people die.

So instead of testing, they're going to ask Docomo for numbers?
Watch out the US, you won't be holding that top spot for long.
