"America, Brasil and India have all prioritised the economy over health of their people. How’s it turned out for them?"

It is inevitable in India if you know the density of the population and its still pretty low compared to % of population. You probably never been to that country, I think numbers are meaningless at this time. It is more than 6 months now and deathrate is low and there is no point in grinding everything to halt before that vaccine shows up and typically vaccinations for stuff like this is not going to work that successfully. People just need to apply common sense and take precautions erroring on the benefit of doubt (wear masks, work from home if possible, wash hands, do not travel if not necessary). Trying to control this by stopping everything is not going to work with globalized economy. In a developed country, I expect most people to use common sense especially in Japan where most people are generally self restrained in a good way.
