Infection with mutant viruses is widespread in Osaka. Over a thousand people are infected each day. Medical facilities for the critically ill are becoming difficult to accept. In the past year, 510,000 people have been infected all over Japan, and about 10,000 people have died. The people are required to take measures against infection. In particular, the elderly is required to be careful. But if you think about it, the elderly population is 36 million. Even if these 510,000 people are all elderly, just under 2% of the total are infected. It can be said that 98% of the 36 million elderly people have succeeded in preventing infection. If you work for a company, more and more companies are forced to take a rest if you have a fever. If one person in the family becomes infected, it will cause rumors. It seems that there are many elderly people who are afraid of this and are taking measures against infection on a par with people. Elderly people who get infected are unaware, and it can be seen that many elderly people and their families are acting in compliance with the media and government's anti-infection measures.
However, some people are looking for safer infection control. About 28,000 people moved out of Tokyo in November 2020. Compared to the same month of the previous year, it has increased by 19%. Those seeking safety are escaping to the suburbs. It seems that the area where they are moving is within 50 to 100 km from central Tokyo. Like Tokyo, large Australian cities are experiencing population outflows. In this country, 4LDK is expensive at 130 million yen, but it is a popular property. Telework is also spreading in Australia under the influence of the new coronavirus. With the new Corona, teleworking has become commonplace and more and more people are emphasizing a safe lifestyle. It seems that those who can move are limited to those who have some assets or telework skills.
If you want to move, it's natural to focus on social distance, but it seems to be divided into single and sharing preferences. Some Japanese people dare to seek comfort in a small space. They want a comfortable space that blocks outside sounds and is unobtrusive to anyone. It seems that one room is a multifunctional room that is also a living room, a dining room, and a bedroom. In a studio condominium, everything can be efficiently completed inside a private room. You can control your behavior in a wide range by keeping various terminals at hand while you are in a private room. In addition, you can secure one room and extend the city such as bookstores, clothes stores, restaurants and bars to your own room. However, human beings are selfish, so we leave room for communication with the outside world. SNS will be a tool to improve the matching accuracy between people who have common hobbies and tastes in advance. The idea is not to complete all the functions inside the facility, but to secure the spread to the outside. Telework is one of these external connections.
Escape from individuals is also attractive, but some people are looking to share. As of 2018, there are about 3,000 share houses in the market with about 30,000 rooms. In one case, a woman in her 70s who runs an import grocery store and a man who runs a tavern in her 70s live in a share house. A 70-year-old man who runs a tavern enjoys going to the gym and the cinema. Women, on the other hand, run imported grocery stores and interact with young people through common hobbies and tastes. They have jobs and hobbies, and they seem to have something in common that they are involved in some kind of production or production. Share house residents can share high-spec TVs, refrigerators, kitchens and more. However, there are many types that share the living room, kitchen, bath / toilet, etc. Matching with a housemate is important for a share house. In this regard, SNS matching is very effective. With a social distance in this way, infection control seems to maintain a certain effect.
Not limited to coronavirus, environmental conditions that are inconvenient for humans have been created in recent years. Exposure to new chemicals is involved in the increase in patients with allergic diseases. Pesticides have been detected in extremely high concentrations in the bodies of dolphins swimming in wide oceans. Similar reports have been made one after another from polar bears in the Arctic. Lifestyle changes such as clothing, food and shelter are involved in the increase in patients with allergic diseases. Radiation exposure has become a problem in the nuclear accident. Radiation damages the DNA inside cells. However, humans have an enzyme that heals wounds caused by radiation as a natural healing power. Science explains to us that the effects of chemicals on wildlife are not only species-specific, but sometimes individual. In other words, there are individual differences whether exposed to the same radiation or chemical substances. In order to mitigate these effects, it is necessary to increase the natural healing power or create an environment suitable for defense. In that sense, escaping from a densely populated metropolis helps reduce infection.
When immune cells are functioning normally, cancer cells are dormant and do not get worse. Cancer cells become active when their health deteriorates. People who keep their brightness by laughing seem to suppress the growth of cancer cells. In both Western medicine and Oriental medicine, the natural healing power of human beings is the basis. Laughter has been found to boost human immunity. The benefits of this laughter are gradually becoming apparent in the medical field as well. Laughter seems to have an auxiliary function that strengthens the immune system and enhances the natural healing power. If you can enjoy laughing and become less susceptible to illness, its usefulness will be invaluable. If it works for new coronavirus infections, it may have the same effect as an escape from the city.
It would be fun if we could prepare for laughter at any time and create a system that allows us to enjoy laughter. You hear rakugo as if you had three meals. You can also listen during commuting time. You can listen while taking a walk, or you can listen while doing household chores. Even at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake 10 years ago, I was having the same inconvenience as I am now. However, with a little ingenuity, there were many opportunities to play both last time and this time. At that time, I was visiting 100 mountains. I have been to Kaimondake volcano in Kagoshima from Fukushima. The highway fare was 1000 yen no matter where I went. I borrowed about 20 rakugo CDs from Tsutaya and went while listening. Even if I go to Kagoshima, I won't get tired. It's also fun to listen to the complete rakugo story when driving long distances. In this corona disaster, I was able to visit various historic sites with the benefit of go to travel. When you're having fun, you're less likely to get sick. You may be infected with the new coronavirus, but spending time with the attitude of giving up if you are infected with a certain amount of prevention may be an option.
