Small note: I don’t know if it’s my own English at fault, but I interpreted “7x below the WHO threshold” as meaning “7 times worse than the threshold” and only understood the actual meaning as I looked at the actual numbers later. Might be worth wording it differently.
Sorry for this, I will change it, but based on everyone’s comments, I think I can make many more changes in the article or write part 2 later, make it about this year’s 2025 results.
( We haven’t published them openly yet and Japan police hasn’t updated their data either, so I could only analyze the 2024 intervention.)

I had the same initial reaction! I’d guess others would have the same misreading too, so it’s worth rewriting. fyi @Yulia Chekhovska
Thank you! I will correct it.
