While living clean lives, the Japanese were actually covered in Chinese pathogens, and by the time the Japanese realized it, we had become immune to them.
So, Shina people might say, "Thank us."
China is a country that is dirty to the core.

The following is an essay by Takayama Masayuki, titled "Sad Immunity," published in the closing issue of Weekly Shincho, released today.
This essay also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the world's greatest critic of civilization.
Sad Immunity
It's called a woman with an eye disease and a man with a cold.
It means so much that it makes us feel a little sexy.
However, if you were to cough up the Wuhan coronavirus, we would feel disgusted, as if we had stepped in bat droppings rather than sexiness.
It's the image of a dirty disease.
Now, it is raging.
In the United States, 5 million people have been affected, and 150,000 have died.
However, Japan, on the narrow channel from China, the outbreak's source, has suffered two orders of magnitude less damage, although there has been a slight resurgence of the disease.
"I don't know why that is," Foreign Policy, a U.S. foreign affairs magazine, complacently commented.
The Japanese government has taken no measures that are even remotely comparable to countermeasures.
The lockdown is inadequate, and people walk the streets with impunity.
The police don't beat them up with clubs like they do in China.
In other countries, there is an absolute shortage of artificial lungs (ECMO), and doctors are crying over which patient to save (triage).
Japanese people are not even bothered by such tragedies.
Foreign correspondents who have been slandering Japan for years are trying their best to find out what makes it different from us.
The New York Times (NYT) believes that the Japanese are fastidious about washing their butts in water and that this may have reduced the spread of the disease.
The Japanese indeed wash their faces and hands when they wake up.
Shina people do not even wash their faces.
During the war, there is a story that a Japanese counterintelligence agent who was mixed up with coolies washed his face in the morning, and his true identity was discovered.
In Japan, the word "hand-washing" means using the restroom, but according to the NYT, half of Americans do not wash their hands after using the restroom.
Jews wash their hands the same as the Japanese.
The Torah also commands them to "dig a hole and bury your garbage."
Thanks to this, when the Black Death spread in the 14th century, there were no patients in Jewish areas.
Germans, who did not understand the difference, claimed that "Jews spread poison," and a massacre of Jews occurred.
The Germans were committing the Holocaust even without Hitler.
Some news reports focused on the Japanese language.
The Japanese language can be spoken without foaming at the mouth, which has reduced the risk of droplet infection.
Indeed, not the Persian language.
The "ha" of the supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, is pronounced "kha," as if he were spitting phlegm down his throat.
American and Shina languages also have a bursting sound pronunciation, and infection is proportionate to it.
Japanese people take off their shoes when they enter a house.
Some people thought the difference between Japan and other countries where people have feet with dirt on the ground was reflected in the infection rate.
In fact, clusters in Japan, from pubs to karaoke rooms to hospitals, are all dirt-footed places.
The NYT's N. Kristof admits that social distance has always existed in Japan.
He reports that in Japan, wives walk "three steps behind their husbands," but at home, "the positions are reversed.
Unbeknownst to him, there is also a saying in Japan, "Step back three feet and don't step on your teacher's shadow."
It seems that the world has realized that the quarantine measures initiated by the Corona disaster are actually the manners of the Japanese.
In contrast, some say that immunity is better than cleanliness.
Many Chinese have visited Japan for shopping sprees in the past few years.
The Kyoto University research team explains that these people brought in the Wuhan coronas early on and that the Japanese had contracted the disease without knowing it and had become immune.
Some say, "No, look at the longer term."
After the Tokyo Olympics, a childhood disease that causes fever, blood circulation, and heart problems in young children began to spread.
It is the so-called Kawasaki disease.
The same symptoms were confirmed in Hawaii, and a joint Japan-U.S. investigation revealed that yellow sand from China caused them.
The period of yellow sand and the time when the symptoms appeared in young children overlapped, and the areas where the yellow sand fell, and the places where the symptoms appeared also coincided.
In addition, Candida, a fungus born in China, was also found in the yellow sand.
Candida is a thousand times larger than the virus.
In other words, various pathogens born in the filthy soil of China were flying in the Japanese sky every year.
Japanese people were actually covered with pathogens from China while living a clean life, and when we realized it, we were immune to them.
The Shina people might say that we should be thankful for that.
They are a country that is dirty to the core.
