In this a few weeks, the case of Covid-19 is increasing again, although the statement of emergency was lifted on last month. The infection of variant of the virous is currently serious and Osaka is hit this effect at first. The population of Osaka is 8.8 million and fewer than that of Tokyo, 13.9 million, but the number of cases in Osaka is over Tokyo. Then also in Tokyo, the number of cases modestly is certainly increasing. There is no optimistic atmosphere.
Despite such a situation, the government has no specific contingency plan. The rate of immunization for vaccine is still in low level. Governors are just saying like “Don’t move to other area” and “please refrain from going out”. A lot of citizen already know the government dose not take an emergency policy in order to hold the Olympics.
Although people know the situation is in danger, their daily life are not quite changed. They are into crowed train every morning and work in office. Some companies stop to encourage remote working for employee. Of course, most people are wearing masks and clean their hands quite often with alcohol.
These are at least realities through my eyes. Including me, citizen might be already getting used to the virus and unreliable voice from the government.
