The Corona Viruses vs. Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans
Now the corona viruses originated in Wohan, China, in December 2019 are dangerously spreading in and beyond China.
In January, it was still unknown if viruses could be spread from one person to another. In February, China closed 10 million population city Wohan; a cruiser with 3600 guests and crews at the Yokohama port, Japan, became a focus due to the spread of viruses; and a Korean religious facility became a secondary source of infection and contamination as a relative of the religious leader had traveled to Wuhan, China. And some regions in Italy and Iran with many Chinese workers and tourists came to suffer the viruses.
The only ways to conquer this epidemic seems to create vaccines or strengthen immunizing power in human bodies.
To strengthen immunizing power of human beings, it is necessary to take out stresses working on human minds.
To reduces stress on human minds, it is desirable to strengthen one's faith in the God. It is better to read the Bible and ask help from the God. The stronger the faith in the God is, the stronger immunizing power in human bodies becomes.
From the Middle Ages to the modern era, Europe became the target of epidemics several times. Through those hard times, Christianity survived, expanded, and solidified its position.
It is symbolic that this corona virus was generated in China where Christianity was virtually suppressed or put under the control of the Chinese Communist Party. Indeed, when the Pope visited and left Japan in the last November, the corona virus emerged in China in the last December.
In Japan, people have come to realize that viruses are more dangerous than radiation and radioactivity leaked in the 2011 accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. So, some Japanese now think that it is better to postpone the 2020 summer Olympics games to be held in Tokyo in late July to the autumn.
Anyway, the corona viruses have given a chance for Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, etc. to increase their faith in the God.
