『The global outbreak ・・・』

The global outbreak of a new coronavirus has brought us to a turning point in history.
What can we do under such circumstances? I personally believe that the key word is human connection. As a result of the pandemic, walls are gradually being built up in people's minds. People are sensitive to life-threatening matters, so they tend to be afraid of infected people. Even if someone near them coughs, they tend to avoid them. However, I believe that people's fear of other people can lead to even more isolation at a time when human relationships are easily strained. So, what actions can we take to improve this situation? I think there are three main things that are important: first, think from the other person's perspective. Second, do not shy away from them. Secondly, do not shy away from them. If you are considerate of them without being afraid, you can shorten the distance between you. Finally, the third is to take good care of your own infection control. If you have infection control measures in place, you will be able to interact with people with peace of mind.
