Let's turn the world by "Number"(67) : Extra edition

Appendix: The 9 supplementary points that the doctor wants to tell you more about

-----

This time, it is in two pieces.

While I was exchanging manuscripts with Dr. Shibata, I was looking at the vastly expanding manuscript in a daze, like a snowball rolling down from the top of a snow mountain.

I thought, "This is getting out of hand," so I was going to put the appendix on my website and link to it from the text.

"Don't worry. everything will be published in EE Times Japan!"

Ms. M, who is in charge of the project, showed us her chivalry at the very last moment.

When I read Ms. M's e-mail, I brought both fists to my mouth and almost shouted, "Generous!"

-----

I think it is fair to say that this "Shibata Report (latter half)" is "the most detailed column on the new coronavirus in Japan" at present, excluding medical technical books and papers.

"But, Ms. M. you may not be able to expect PV (page views) with such a huge and advanced content"

In response to my concern, Ms. M said

"Please don't worry about the PV. We believe that the social significance of publishing Dr. Shibata's content is greater than the PV"

-----

Editors of lousy sites trying to use catchy titles to generate PV with poor content!

Watch out!

The spirit of Ms. M and the EE Times Japan editorial staff, who have such high aspirations, should make you bow down!

-----

In fact, I guess I am "blessed".

Being in a position where I can act as a gateway between contributors who can provide front-line, real-time information with easy-to-understand content, and editors who take pride in their social responsibility.

For that, I am truly grateful from the bottom of my heart.

-----

Oh, I also thank to my wonderful "rude junior colleague" who reviews my columns from unexpected perspectives.

I just remembered that I was scolded for forgetting to give an acknowledgement before.
