After the banquet

“Group Begonia (part)” 2021 F60

Corona disaster。Tokyo has more than 5,000 new infections for three consecutive days (more than 25,000 nationwide)。(Only those who have come forward, such as those who have symptoms, etc.)、It is said that the cumulative number of people in Tokyo alone exceeded 300,000.。Not only Tokyo and three prefectures、including Osaka、The number of infected people continues to reach record highs across the country.。Although the governor of Kanagawa Prefecture and others do not directly say those words,、asking the government for a de facto lockdown。Among the assumptions shown by statistical medicine、The “worst case” is currently underway.。

With the increase in the number of infected people、A large number of medical professionals say that the medical care industry is already in a state of collapse.、Instead of warning bells, they are pushing for emergency bells.、The current Governor of Tokyo has passed away.。In a soft tone, he said, ``Infections are increasing at a disaster level.'' ``Give up on returning home.'' ``Refrain from going out shopping.'' ``Think of it as your own problem, not someone else's.''。"If I get infected, I might die," he said.、The words are like a request、The content is worded like a threat.。

Despite that, he says he will participate in the Paralympics.。While implicitly sarcasticizing the chairman of the coronavirus countermeasures subcommittee who recommended that the Olympics should not be held.、``Leveraging our experience of holding a safe and secure Olympic Games,'' ``Children's、It's a valuable opportunity for students...、I would love to be able to watch the game (in person at the venue).”。If so, shouldn't the general public be careful when going out, ``just like during the (safe and secure) Olympics''?。When IOC President Bach went shopping in Ginza, the Olympic minister said, ``It is up to the individual to decide what is unnecessary or not.''。ならば「帰省」も「他人事と考えず」などと言われる筋合いなどない自分で判断すればいいと大臣も知事も言うのだから「不要不急」云々など余計なお世話である第一都内への通勤は全く問題にしないが近場のショッピングに出かける事さえ控えてという論理は矛盾している人命より経済優先自分都合のパフォーマンス優先と言われるのも当然だろう

何を訊かれても「ワクチン接種が進めば」と馬鹿の一つ覚えだったどこかの首相も緊急事態宣言の拡大地域名を並べただけであとは雲隠れ状態大見得を切った頼みの綱のワクチンそのものが不足する事態を招くなど危機管理能力ゼロだと思ったがそもそも危機感自体が無いのだろうずっと頭にあるのは目前に迫った自民党総裁選と衆議院選挙のことだけか首相の頭にはパラリンピックなどもうどうでもいい事柄に違いない選手には気の毒というしかないが、No matter how you think about it、この状況下であえて開催する意義は見いだせない。The people too、賛成も反対もなく「何を言ったってどうせやるんだろ」とほぼ無関心という心の隙間を小池氏に突かれてしまっているそのあたり政治家としては首相より数段うわてなようだ

stress?

木立ベゴニア (制作中)19 Aug 2021

ここ数日とても疲れる体の調子はいたってよく食欲も旺盛(量は加減しなくては!)で睡眠も十分摂れているなのに夜10時過ぎには何となく疲れてきて今日中にやる予定を明日にしてしまうそして予定遅れが溜まってくるとそれがストレスになってくる

夏の暑さ疲れが溜まってきた?コロナのニュースを聞くたびに感じる政府の後手後手な対策へのイライラ疲れ?それとも単に怠け病?

世界は一瞬の休みもなく動いている目下はBBCを中心にアフガンのニュースに耳を立てているがもちろん日本でも時計は止まらない大雨の被害を聞くたびに気持ちは塞ぐしパラリンピック開催への疑問と選手自体への同情で気持ちは落ち着かないし国会の答弁を聞けば腹が立つしコロナのニュースは上の通りと世界も日本も動いている動かないのは自分だけのような錯覚に陥りそうな気がする

こんなときは以前ならお酒で一瞬忘れればよかった忘れればしばらくは思い出さなかった再び思い出すまではとりあえず前進するそんな感じだった最近は時にはお酒自体がストレスにさえなる。something、すべてが八方塞がりのような感じで重たいこれをぶっ飛ばす何かないかな

From the situation in Afghanistan

木立ベゴニア

Before former US President Trump leaves office、There was an agreement with the Taliban to withdraw.。Since his successor, current President Biden, announced that the complete withdrawal would be completed by September 11, 2021.、The Taliban's major offensive began in no time.、Finally yesterday the 15th、Afghan President Ghani has fled the country。Finally, Afghanistan returns to the Taliban.、2001The US plan to start a war in Afghanistan in the wake of the September 11, 2011 terrorist attacks on the US came to nothing.、It is reported that。

Afghanistan is far from us。Speaking of topics、The late Dr. Tetsu Nakamura not only provided medical care for the Afghan people.、They were devoting themselves to building irrigation canals for their daily livelihood.、2019Wasn't it just that he was shot dead by anti-government guerrillas in 2007?。But、Since the world is connected in every sense、The situation in Afghanistan cannot be unrelated to our lives.。

In 2003, the United States attacked Iraq, calling it the "axis of evil."。Overthrow the Hussein regime (the "weapons of mass destruction" that was the pretext remained undiscovered)、After that, the IS (Islamic State) withdrew, so to speak, and left it alone.、Spreading like weeds in a wasteland、The terror that drove people into fear (it's not over yet) is still fresh in my memory.。2010It started from、A large number of refugees have occurred, including after the so-called "Middle East Spring."、From the Middle East to Europe、It is still a very big problem。The number of refugees is said to be greater than during World War II.。This time too, it was a “disastrous event far away.”、Our lives didn't seem to be directly affected.。

I think this insensitivity is the biggest threat.。North Korea and South Korea、China and Taiwan。What would we do if a refugee situation were to occur here?、Isn't there something we should think about?。I don't think I'll have the time to draw at that time.。Even if we take measures against coronavirus、It's easy to criticize the government for being too late.。But、After all, we are the ones who have created such a government.。It is a mistake to expect the government to think about things we do not think about.、About this summer's "Defeat Memorial Day"、I thought again。
