As a target for new coronavirus infection, I try not to go out.

Even so, the word "self-restraint request" used by top people in the media and government is being abused.

"Self-restraint request" is not much different from the slogan "improvement of quality" of the poster, put on the production line of the factory.

In other words, we can't expect an effect.

No. in fact, I know that well.

I read all the articles of the law concerning the declaration of emergency before,

"This law does not prohibit the movement of people or economic activities (*)"

(*)However, this is not the case when it is certified as a legally infectious disease, after a certain procedure.

I know that.

Of course, because there is no law, there are no criminal penalties(There are many laws without penalties).

Therefore, the limit of the message that can be spoken becomes "request self-restraint".

Since I can't come to work at the moment, I am walking around the town alone to loose lack of exercise. but I look at some interesting things.

"Butchers and greengrocers that are normally open without closing stores except Saturdays and Sundays"

Well, even if it's normal,

Izakaya bar just changed business hours from "until 24:00" to "until 22:00"

The most hit restaurant I've seen is

The ramen shop usually opened at 11:30 am is used to open 9:00 am and starts "morning ramen"(The closing time was advanced by 2 hours)

These self-restraints are "self-restraint for self-restraint", and the purpose of "virus infection prevention" cannot be seen.
