12. My Opinion: Latest news and current affairs in Japan and around the world by Peter Yonenaga

The number of infected people has been increasing since they’ve been trapped in the diamond princess. That must be an airborne infection.

Japan is responsible for that. In that case, Japanese people may not be able to go abroad. In short, Japan is a country where epidemic prevention has failed.

Since it is a country that failed to stop infection, it means that there are infected people everywhere. In that case, Japanese people may not be able to go abroad for a long time.

Now, Pacific island countries have stopped Japanese from entering the country.

Actually, just as ships are in trouble, islands are in trouble. If infectious disease occurs on an island, it could be completely destroyed.

That's why islands are hard to deal with. Okinawa island, Hokkaido Okushiri-Rishiri-Rebun island, they really have to be careful.

If it spreads out in the island, it's really hard. For that reason, the islands of Pacific are prohibited for Japanese to enter.

I think it's just a matter of time in the U.S. and Europe. I wonder what will happen soon.

Well, as I said earlier, priority is given to life, livelihood, and economy, so you don’t have to go anywhere for a while and just stay still.
