J-Wellness & Covid-19: Why Japan has had relatively low deaths

We believe that Japan’s relatively low Covid-19 related death rate importantly reflects the good life-style behaviours of J-Wellness.

Covid-19 related deaths per 100,000 people: the data

There have been very marked differences between countries in Covid-19 related deaths (measured per 100,000 people to normalise for countries’ different population sizes). The Deaths per 100,000 people for the G20 countries (China is not included due to perceived data issues; Spain is a G20 permanent guest, not a member, but is included) is 24.0.

Japan’s Deaths per 100,000 people is 1.3. The Deaths per 100,000 people for the USA is 63.3, a rate 49 times higher than Japan’s.

We believe that Japan’s relatively low Covid-19 related death rate importantly reflects the good life-style behaviours of J-Wellness.
