Opinion of Agree
The last “State of Emergency” declaration was April, 2020. COVID-19 has been outbreak in Japan and spread to whole region rapidly. Many people had quarantine to brake pandemic, and it seems incidence rate get decrease in Summer. However, after people released from stress, many people started gather in same place, and now leaded this circumstance rebounding bad condition. People who agree to this policy says, we need to think more serious about this pandemic again, and this “State of Emergency” declaration is a chance to make conscious on people.
Opinion of Disagree
People’s life won’t change even if government declared. It will just incite fear between peoples. Many peoples are knowing coronavirus, that they get used of living under pandemic. What people should do is to keep prevent for not be infect.
Who could guess this pandemic spreads more, even though we had long quarantine about a year ago. Same as this situation, it could happen again in near future, that this pandemic keeps along and increase infected people.
