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

Therefore, it's true that infectious diseases are very scary. You shouldn't take it so lightly.

As for what has happened in China since then, many strange things have happened. Most people are healthy, actually.

However, they're trapped in the house and get bored. They can't go to work either, so many people post on the internet. They also take a video and upload it.

Therefore, whatever the Communist Party says, this story is already pouring out more and more information from below.

I'd like to share with you what I know now. Because the economy has stopped, they are short of food. They are running short of necessities.

Farmers are unable to ship farm products. Cities are running out of food. This is the same as the Showa Depression(昭和大恐慌) in 1930. Just like the Great Depression in the United States(世界大恐慌), the economy has stopped.

Therefore, although there was an economic suspension due to the stock market crash and the financial crisis, this time the economic suspension was due to the plague.

Also, since both ports and airplanes have stopped, imported goods have stopped in China.

This affects other countries as well, and it's a serious problem in Japan, the United States, and Europe because no parts or items come from China.

But even in China, things don't come in and it's hard. And according to various statements by the Communist Party, the Air Force has been very active in the last few weeks.

The Air Force is very active in carrying people and goods. And the heads of Wuhan and Hubei were fired, and the mayor of Shanghai is taking over.

In short, it is a state of martial law under the direct control of the state. It is said that the army will manage it.

So that means the local administrations in Hubei is collapsing.

In short, the collapse of the local administration means that the number of patients is not decreasing even though quarantine is being carried out.

I think food and other supplies are running short. That’s why the Air Force is carrying them I think.
