"Why do we have to repeat the curfew so many times?"

The answer is,

"COVID-19 has a staggeringly high infection rate compared to existing flu strains, and a punishingly high mortality rate".

What happens when we 'completely' ignore the government's request for self-restraint?

"The daily life of "dead bodies lying on the street" is coming."

I think it's about time that the government show this vision to the people properly -- it will be criticized, but it's true.

In short, I believe that the countermeasure against the new coronavirus infection is to maintain a life where we don't have to see "dead bodies lying on the street".

In other words, it is a measure to ensure "an environment where people can die while receiving treatment in a hospital.

There are still people who think that the influenza virus and the new coronavirus are "the same" -- well, "the same" is O.K.

The bottom line is that

(1) "Do we want to maintain an environment where people can die while receiving treatment in hospitals?"

(2) "Do we accept dying at home or outdoors if people could no longer be accommodated in a hospital?"

That's the only difference, in my opinion.

If I were to die the same way, I want to

(A) bet on the possibility that I'll be able to stay, and

(B) pass away as comfortably as possible while receiving oxygen inhalation and pain relief treatment.

People who say, "If I'm going to die anyway, it doesn't really matter..." can ignore the government's request for self-restraint and vaccination.

However, in such a case, I think the "reasonable course of action" is to choose "refrain from medical treatment," "home treatment," and "death at home (death by neglect)" as a set menu.

The above has always been my stance.

However, I was quite shocked to read an email I received from a reader the other day.
