Coronavirus in Japan
2020.02.19
ビジネス
The number of corona virus Japanese patients has gone up to 73 people - excluding the patients from the cruise ship, but including foreign nationals who are staying in Japan.
Japan is now one of the countries with large number of patients after China.
Many people wear surgical masks in public areas such as shopping malls, theaters - and some companies are asking their employees to stay home and work online so that they don't have to worry about going into a crowd in the trains or stations.
Japanese people are not too worried about getting infected by corona yet as the number still is 73 patients among 100 million population - however, we hear news all the time so as mentioned above, masks and sanitizers are all gone from stores.
So, if you are coming to Japan for business or leisure, wear a mask, carry sanitizers with you.
And don't be scared when you see many people wearing masks in the trains or public places.
*Meetings online, no commute time wasted, but people are realizing they can still work from home.
Hopefully, when the weather gets a bit warmer, the invasion of the virus stops
Hopefully Tokyo Olympic Games can be held as planned.
We can only pray for those who are infected by the virus, and for their quick recovery.

Downside of this corona virus:
1. Many events are being cancelled - including Tokyo marathon 2020
*Elite runners of 200 are still running, but no other runners are allowed to join.
2. Decrease number of Chinese tourists - businesses targeting Chinese visitors are now down
3. People are having hard time finding masks

Good side effects caused by this corona virus:
1. Usually crowded areas are empty or with less people (restaurants, shopping malls)
2. People sanitize more - wash hands - hand shakes seem like are not a good option to greet
3. People are using online effectively

契約書の英訳にAI翻訳を絶対使ってはいけない理由
AI翻訳の限界とは?AI翻訳で契約書を英訳するのはOK?答えはNOです。実際にGoogle翻訳をはじめとする各種AI翻訳が進歩しているのは事実ですが、法的な文書となる契約書などをAI翻訳に頼るのは時期尚早。事前にトラブルを防ぐためにも、また細かいニュアンスを翻訳するためにも、プロの翻訳者、特に法務のバックグラウンドがある翻訳者に依頼をすることが大切です。
