残念ながら,世界中の囲碁の弟子、友人、そして国内の程々に近い人達から『悲痛』な連絡が、この数日届きました。
パリで自宅監禁されている家族、マーカスはカメラマンで時々、日本にも仕事で来ています。
この夏は家族で来日予定でしたがキャンセル。
今はパリで自宅待機中、症状がこれ以上、悪化したら病院へ行くしかない。と。。。。
国内でも弟子の奥さんが、程々の症状が出ている為に濃厚接触者として自宅で自粛中。
私自身も、身近な会社で感染者が出たので万が一を考慮して、この数日は全てキャンセルで自宅待機。
私は、現在、全く何も起きてなく大丈夫です。
今、一番の協力は人と会う機会を極力減らす事。
経済的ダメージは大きいですが今は殆どの囲碁の棋士は失業中です。。。。対局は打つ義務がありますが。他の仕事は延期かキャンセルです。
厳しい状況ですが、感染拡大を防ぐ為に自粛するしか無いです。
気分転換の写真をご披露します。
大自然は、いつもの春を迎えてます！
Unfortunately, I have been receiving messages of pain from my students and acquaintances around the world.
My friend, who is a cameraman and has visited Japan is social distancing in Paris with his family.
This summer, they were planning to come to Japan but it had to be cancelled.
Right now he is resting at home, but if his symptoms become any worse, he must go to the hospital...
In Japan, my student’s wife has been experiencing some of the symptoms of corona virus and so staying at home just in case.
On my side, there was a case of corona virus infection at a workplace in my immediate vicinity so I have cancelled all work for these several days.
Fortunately, I’m ok so far.
Right now, the best we can do is to reduce contact with other people as much as possible.
The economic damage is huge and most professional Go players are essentially without any jobs... (we still have the responsibility to play professional games. The other jobs are cancelled or postponed)
It’s a difficult situation, but we have to proactively decide to stay at home to stop spreading the virus.
Some photos to brighten up the day
Springtime is here for the nature!
