Despite not being on lockdown, why has Japan been able to keep coronavirus infection and fatality numbers so low?
What’s minuscule, potentially harmful and is very possibly lurking on your cash money? A multitude of bacteria and viruses, that’s what. It turns out that coins and bills are some of the dirtiest things you touch every day.

Virus Protector is a Japanese product composed of a vinyl pouch that you hang by a strap around your neck. When unsealed it claims to “remove bacteria, virus and odors from the surrounding area creating a decontamination space.”
On February 18 the Consumer Affairs Agency of Japan issued a warning for people to stop using Virus Protector brand products immediately.
The reason? Apparently, Virus Protector had considered humans in the same family of germs and bad smells and set out to eliminate us as well.
