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

I think this week and next week will be the last time we can get together in English school like this mood. I think next week will be the real panic mode in Japan. Well, Japan will continue to evolve. So, Atlas close from 3/March to 15/March.

There's the virus, but there are some other very big problems right now. It is Corona virus disease (COVID-19). There is no end in sight at the moment. In China, it's growing. We don't know when the peak of spread infection will be.

These thing have caused the economy to stop. The economy has come to a standstill, and an industrial depression and a depression in people's lives have already started due to the Financial depression.

The financial sector has had major problems for some time, so this is a fatal blow. The economy has already stopped.

It will take some time for everyone to realize that the global financial and trade markets have basically stopped.

Therefore, it will be no use struggling this year. Nothing will start unless we are unflappable. As I’ve said before, the order of priority is life, livelihood, and economy now.

I think we have no choice but to look back on the Great East Japan Earthquake in 11 March(311) 2011, think about it, and try not to make a mistake in this order.

Therefore, what's happening now is that the leaders will be replaced again. At the meantime, we still don't know how long this virus will last or how bad it will get.
