Consider Japanese corona policy in light of these results. The conclusion seems to be that things that are currently not permitted under state of emergency are those things that policy makers deem morally bad. https://twitter.com/cailinmeister/status/1390821582726066176

Nightlife, alcohol: morally bad, therefore viewed as high transmission risk. Crowded commuter trains, work/school: morally good, low transmission risk. This sort of makes sense of the policy in terms of subjective perception, though obviously not in terms of actual sense.

And border policy? Japanese passports coming in and out: morally ok. New long-term residents: morally bad. If this line is right, it certainly doesn't reflect well on the Japanese government.

But the conclusion of this thread of mine also seems to follow these results about perception of risk: purification rituals, moral correctness, scapegoats, purity are the things that are driving current policy on borders, nightlife, and business. https://twitter.com/elinmccready/status/1388674409439715329?s=20
