I am deeply impressed by the efforts of medical staff on the front lines as COVID-19 is not yet under control. I would like to express my gratitude to them for their efforts.

In the history of mankind, we have been able to overcome numerous viral infections by using our wits to keep up with them.

It may still be a difficult time for us, but let's keep each other's immunity up and do our best.
