Looking at the world medical equipment from the epidemic situation

Nowadays, novel coronavirus is spreading all over the world, and countries have turned to the world for help. Medical supplies and various protective articles such as masks, goggles, protective clothing, disinfectant and other commodities have been in a hurry with the development of the epidemic. Because novel coronavirus was discovered earlier in China, the epidemic situation in China has been controlled and the materials have been alleviated to a certain extent. But the epidemic is still raging in other countries, such as Japan. But why doesn't Japan turn to the world for help? I think the reasons are as follows:

First of all, Japan began to be alert when the epidemic broke out in China, so at that time, Japan began to reserve materials. Therefore, in terms of materials, Japan is not lacking, not to mention the number of Japanese nationals. It is much simpler to reserve enough medical materials compared with China1400 million people, which is why Japanese materials are not very scarce.

Secondly, when the epidemic broke out in China, Japan had taken certain measures to avoid large-scale crowd gathering and reduce the outbreak probability of novel coronavirus in its own country, so that when the global epidemic broke out, the epidemic situation in Japan would not be so serious and the number of cases in Japan would be relatively small, so the demand for medical supplies in Japan would be much less and the situation would be much better than that in other countries.

Finally, Japan's own national quality pays more attention to epidemic situation and health, so few people were infected with the virus when the epidemic broke out in Japan, and everyone had a high awareness of epidemic prevention and control, thus greatly reducing the spread of novel coronavirus in Japan.

To sum up, a large part of the reason why Japan didn't ask the world for masks is that its epidemic situation has been controlled, which has attracted great attention. If the materials can keep up, try to keep up. The national quality is high, and it is impossible for everyone to gather collectively, so there are not many people who get sick in Japan. Therefore, Japan's medical supplies are still relatively sufficient.
