Caution!Coronavirus is spreading!



The Pneumonia caused by a new type of Coronavirus appeared from Wuhan,China is raging. As of  Jan. 30th, died persons are 213 and infected persons are 9000 or more. In Japan, infected persons are 11. For now, It seems that mortality is less than SARS of 18 years before but spread of diffusion is much faster. Infected persons of SARS were around 8000 during 8 months, for this time Cronavirus are already exceeded 9000 persons during 1 month. Jan. 30th ,Secretary General Tedros of WHO announced emergency declaration.
Many of various speculations are spread on the internet. For example, The theory that generation source of Coronavirus is from edible snake or the theory  virus from bats, further the theory outbreak from Pathogen Research Institute in Wuhan.And also, The rumor spread Tokyo Olympic in 2020 might be canceled. But they are all just unfounded speculations.
From now on, how fast will spread all of the world, just thinking is scary. We ,as individuals, have no choice but to self-defense that hand washing, gargling,with masks etc, I just hope for convergence as soon as possible.
And I worry that whether  persons who will receive unfair discrimination in particular in Japan. In the past time, when AIDS appeared, I heard that many of foreigner in Japan felt bad mood because they were suspected to be AIDS just because they were foreigner. Now many foreigner live in Japan and there are many tourist from foreign country relatively than the past time so I think prejudice fr foreigners is decrease than the past time. But the thing that the other day a ramen shop posted a poster written 'Prohibition of Chinese entry' on the outside of the shop was made us to remember when AIDS appeared the first time in Japan around 40 years before. Shop's master said seemingly justified hi want to protect his customers but not to mention, I think thoughts like decision that Chinese equals Coronavirus is discrimination and dangerous thoughts.
In Chaina,Vigilantes have been started one after another to protect the whole town.
Exactly a  situation in which mistrust causes mistrust.
