What changes with the state of emergency on April 6? USD/JPY in Western time
(
Emergency declaration is finally poised to be issued
Phew.
I feel that if everyone takes it seriously, it will settle down quickly, but there are a lot of wishes involved.
Yesterday's press conference/video by Governor Koike. The crisp clarity brought a sense of reassurance.
Indeed, in times like these of emergency, a strong leadership is reassuring.
He resembled a prime minister (I found myself wishing he would substitute for a while).
I want the people above to show the determination to protect the citizens, without fail.
However, even after the coronavirus settles down,
the world situation afterward will also be tough.
An acquaintance in America says they are often asked, "Are you Chinese?" whenever they go out,
and everyone who asks seems to have something against it in their hearts.
Where will the anger toward foreigners direct itself after the coronavirus subsides?
Unlike Japanese people who can endure,
they will surely do something, I think.
Lately I feel that that possibility is more frightening.
