Makes me wonder if SK is also lying about their results.

The truth starts to come out of Japan now that the Olympics are officially delayed
I don't get this line of thinking. If there's adequate testing capacity and the country isn't locked down, we should see cases continue to rise at an exponential rate especially soon after it breaks containment.
What do the Olympics have to do with that?

Adequate testing capacity is great if you are actually testing. Japan was holding off for as long as they could to host Olympics. They have poured in tons of money prepping for the games. Less than Rio spent but, money spent to prep for olympics is very controversial and not an easy sell to people. Plus there is the billions in lost revenue from visitors not coming.
And who will be giving us these masks since they are not available... 
BTW, I've completely given up on not touching my face. I have extraordinary willpower in most things, but that is not one of them. I can't freaking stop.
I'm hoping by just being at home 24/7 I'm ok.

Why would they be working on this if their country has no more cases and it isn't a problem?
1) PR, because the virus came from their country (perceived as their fault).
2) There's money in a cure.
3) PR...China saves the world from the china virus.
I won't disagree that China is evil, is hiding facts, and bares enormous responsibility for the pandemic, but there are plenty of less sinister reasons for them to be looking for a cure.
That's where a mask or gloves could help.
Oh, I totally agree. Just posting it here for documentation purposes.

Gloves would help with which part?

"We started then to find out what we could make," he said. "We worked with the administration. They have a coalition to what kind of masks are need out there. Obviously, we specialize in cotton and we found out different materials that they didn't want -- latex...and stuff. So, finally, we got the final prototype three days ago."
Lindell said it took MyPillow workers three days to turn over a 200,000-square-foot factory into a facility to produce the masks. They are currently making about 10,000 a day and aim to produce up to 50,000 a day.
"And, we're doing the shipping. I'm shipping them out," he continued. "That's what we do at MyPillow. So, a lot of this just fell right in line with what we do. And, I've also switched over other companies. I want every other manufacturer -- see what you can do out there."
In addition, Lindell told Henry that his factories in Connecticut, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Minnesota are also converting to help the effort.
Among others.
So, this confirms my question on the Stock thread I had. Thanks.aggiehawg said:jxs40 said:And where are these masks supposed to magically appear?stetson said:Robert C. Christian said:
