It seems that the number of people infected with corona is definitely decreasing, probably because of the effect of the state of emergency.  I agree with the extension until March 7th.  A little more patience.  It seems that the prospect of the vaccine has been at last in sight, and in order for the vaccine to be taken smoothly and quickly, it is essential to reduce the number of infected people.  This corona vaccine is quite effective, and so far the effect is 90%. The effect of influenza vaccine is 70% at best, and 60% on average, so you can see how effective it is.   It seems that the side reaction, which is a cause for concern, is extremely small. In Israel, which has the highest vaccination rate, 80% of the elderly aged 65 and over have already taken it.  Israel is a country with a population of less than 9 million, so Japan’s population is about 14 times that. From that point of view too, it is necessary to drastically reduce the number of people infected with corona.

緊急事態宣言の効果があってか、コロナ感染者数が確実に減っている様です。３月７日までの延長は賛成です。もう少しの我慢。ワクチンの目処もなんとか立った様で、ワクチン摂取が円滑で迅速に行われる為にも、感染者数のさらなれ減少は必須条件です。今回のコロナワクチンはかなり有効で、今のところ効果は90%だそうです。インフルエンザワクチンの効果が良くて70%、平均でも60%に比べるとその有効性の高さがわかります。懸念材料の副反応も極めて少ないと言うことです。ワクチン摂取率の一番高いイスラエルでは、65歳以上の高齢者の80%がもうすでに摂取を終えたとのこと。イスラエルは人口900万人足らずの国ですから、日本の人口はその約14倍。その為にもコロナ感染者数を激減させる必要があります。
