The following is from the Sankei Shimbun yesterday.
Vice-Chair of Editorial Ikuo Beppu
I can't help getting angry
It will be nine years since the Aftermath of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on the 11th.
What remains in memory is the scene of Rikuzentakata City, Iwate Prefecture, which I visited immediately after the disaster.
Standing in a vast stricken area affected by the tsunami, my knees shook, and I have no word.
Is such unhappiness, disaster, or tragedy possible in modern Japan?
It was such cruel cruelty of the scars.
The number of dead and missing has exceeded 18,000.
Many lost their homes and left their home town.
The archipelago was in endless sorrow.
Nevertheless, in the stricken area, I met brave people who stood up.
For example, in Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture, a coffee shop owner who lost his house and store in the tsunami, honed a mill dug out of a mud pile, milled beans roasted in a bonfire frying pan, and served free real coffee at an evacuation center. 
"I'm a professional, so I can't give an instant."
When I returned three years later, the owner lamented:
"People who were desperate to live in evacuation shelters were given temporary suicide and solitary death as soon as they were given food, shelter, and what humans are."
The Aftermath of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami also hit Kumamoto and Hokkaido with a seismic intensity seven earthquakes.
Every year, heavy rain and strong winds damage the area.
And this year is the spread of the new coronavirus.
At the time of the Great Earthquake, I was deeply depressed, deeply moved, and thought, and various emotions were shaken violently, but this time it is not.
From beginning to end, I can't help getting angry.
Reactive governments, oppositions with quiddity, no progress in inspections,
China spread its infection through information control.
Some lawless people are trying to resell masks at high prices.
And people who are run by hoaxes and run out of paper products.
An old-timer IOC member who irresponsibly mentions the cancellation or postponement of the Tokyo Olympics.
And persons of intelligence who follow suit it and they make the Olympics as a toy.
And the invisible virus.
Anyway, I get angry.
Of course, some doctors are fighting hard.
Some companies respond to requests for increased production.
Some officials believe in holding the Olympics and work hard to prepare.
Some players continue to refine their skills for the day.
The mayor of Kumamoto City, Kazufumi Onishi, wrote in his Twitter, "Corona's dumb!"
Actual tweets have much more "-" s.
I understand his feelings.
