*************************
The coronavirus came to Japan in January 2020. By April, there were more than 500 cases a day. The numbers went down to about 30 cases, but they went up to 1,700 cases a day at the height of the second wave. Then the numbers went down to about 500 cases a day. During the third wave, the numbers went up to 7,000 cases a day in January, and the government declared a state of emergency in more than 10 prefectures. The state of emergency is ending today in six prefectures. Are things really better? I think so, but we still need to be very careful not to get the virus. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
