Статья по поводу эпидемии гриппа от 7 февраля 2019 по Японии, там была какая-то аномальная эпидемия - более 2 млн. больных, школы закрывали, в домах престарелых много заболело. Правда, не пишут про смертность:

Japan is suffering a serious influenza outbreak. During the week from January 21 to 27, an average of 57.09 influenza patients per facility was reported among the roughly 5,000 designated medical facilities nationwide, marking the highest level since statistics were first kept in 1999. An average of 30 patients per facility is the criterion for prefectures in Japan to issue an influenza-outbreak warning. The influenza strains detected over the past five weeks have been divided roughly equally between the type-A strain that caused a global pandemic in 2009 and type-A Hong Kong Flu.
Based on reports from the designated facilities, it is estimated that 2.23 million people underwent medical consultations in Japan for influenza from January 21 to 27, an increase compared to the 2.13 million estimated for the previous week. A total of 8,928 schools, daycare centers, and other educational institutions closed temporarily during the last week of January due to influenza outbreaks, an increase over the 6,343 for the prior week.
From the start of the 2018–19 influenza season in September 2018 to late January 2019, a total of 12,642 people were hospitalized in Japan for the virus, of whom those 60 and older accounted for 8,021 or 63%. Widespread influenza outbreaks at nursing homes in Maebashi, Gunma Prefecture, and Awaji, Hyōgo Prefecture, led to numerous later deaths from pneumonia and other causes, highlighting the need for particular caution to be exercised among elderly persons with low resistance to infectious diseases.
На русском есть немного переводов по той эпидемии, но что-то паники тогда не было в мире. А заболевших там было более 2 млн., с короновирусом сейчас чуть более 3 млн., но во всем мире.
Ещё в сентябре 2019 тоже была необычная эпидемия в Японии:
By the third week of September, the number of flu patients reported in Tokyo had reached 436, 5.5 times the figure in the corresponding period of 2018. The metropolitan government declared on Sept. 26 that a flu epidemic had begun in the capital, 11 weeks earlier than last year and the earliest in history.https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20191016/p2a/00m/0dm/012000c
По Японии сегодня данные по ковиду:
Вот странно, в прошлом году 2 вспышки необычные гриппа в Японии, более 2 млн. заболевших, а в этом 14 тысяч заболевших ковидом. При такой большой плотности населения и самом старом населении в мире - более чем скромные показатели. По простому гриппу у них в этом году тоже любопытно.
