GoTo national suspension "Is it necessary to wait until the 28th?"

The impression is lost late and halfway. I'm worried whether this will fight the spread of the infection.

　The government has decided to suspend the tourism support project "Go To Travel" nationwide from the 28th to the 11th of January as a countermeasure against the infection of the new coronavirus.

　Until the 27th, the suspension of both Sapporo and Osaka will be extended, and travel to Tokyo and Nagoya will also be excluded.

　Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said, "We will take the utmost measures so that you can have a calm new year." Then why wait until the 28th for the national suspension?

　On November 25, Yasutoshi Nishimura, the minister in charge of economic revitalization, positioned the measures against corona, which is spreading infection, as "three weeks of competition." The following day, on the 26th, Prime Minister Suga also said, "These three weeks are extremely important." If you call it a "game," you should have taken major steps at this point.

　Meanwhile, on the 12th of this month, the number of newly infected people with the new corona in Japan reached a record high of more than 3,000, and the medical care provision system became tight in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido and parts of Osaka Prefecture, and the Self-Defense Forces Was dispatched by nurses. The number of people at major stations and downtown areas nationwide on the 12th, compiled by NTT DoCoMo, exceeded that of the previous Saturday at 64 of the 95 points. The government's "game" call did not affect the people.

　On the 11th, Prime Minister Suga appeared on an internet program and said, "Unknowingly, Go To has become bad." "I had received a suggestion that I would not get infected by moving." In that case, the conventional travel restrictions and requests to refrain from going out would have been useless.

　Travel business is the recommendation of travel by country. It's not bad in itself. It is clearly the opposite of the unnecessarily urgent request to refrain from going out, obscuring the government's stance. Therefore, I do not understand that it was the subject of criticism.

　The results show that the travel business is effective in supporting the local economy. Be confident in this successful experience, wait for the infection to turn to a convergence trend, and then reopen.

　Shigeru Omi, chairman of the Coronavirus Infectious Diseases Control Subcommittee, ordered the government to "make a firm awareness of the current situation and make rational decisions quickly." The proposal is based on the lack of awareness and the delay in making decisions. I would like to request further strengthening of measures.
