Coronavirus Variant Excited To Compete With World’s Top Mutations In Tokyo This Summer

2021-05-27

まとめ Summary:

LONDON—

Having prepared for months to make its mark at this year’s Olympics, coronavirus variant B.1.525—a U.K. native best known for its skillful weakening of antibody responses—confirmed Thursday that it was excited to compete in Tokyo against top mutations from across the globe.

“I can’t wait to travel to Japan this July and show the whole world what I’m capable of,” said the highly transmissible permutation  of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, recounting how it had honed its spike proteins (スパイクタンパク質 ) and vaccine resistance in anticipation of the international gathering of deadly (致命的な) pathogens (病原体 )

PODCAST: ネット通訳担当tensaimon 22: オリンピック略奪 Olympic Pillage

オリンピックの契約は何の力もないから日本はIOCを無視してオリンピックを中止するべきだ、とwashingtonpost.comが言う。

Japan should cut its losses and tell the IOC to take its Olympic pillage somewhere else

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/05/05/japan-ioc-olympic-contract/

May 5, 2021

まとめ Summary:

Somewhere along the line the International Olympic Committee decided to treat Japan as their footstool. But Japan didn’t surrender its sovereignty when it agreed to host the Olympics. If the Tokyo Summer Games have become a threat to the national interest, Japan’s leaders should tell the IOC to go find another duchy to plunder. A cancellation would be hard — but it would also be a cure.

April 19, 2021

まとめ Summary:

“There was outrage around the world when 1,134 people died in the devastating Rana Plaza tragedy in Bangladesh on April 24th, 2013. Horrific images showed bodies being pulled from the rubble following the collapse of an eight-story garment factory complex in Dhaka as desperate families stood by, waiting for news about their loved ones. “

Eight years on, garment workers are still losing their lives while making our clothes:
– In November 2020, 12 people were killed in an explosion at a garment factory in Gujarat, India.
– In March this year, 20 people were killed and dozens left injured after a fire… in Cairo, Egypt,
– a further eight killed and 29 injured when a 10-storey building collapsed in the same city later that month.
– Meanwhile, in Gazipur, Bangladesh, one person died and another 42 workers were left injured following a factory fire.

The Warning Signs of a Longer Pandemic:

DATE: April 12 2021

“All the things that could prolong the COVID-19 pandemic — that could make this virus a part of our lives longer than anyone wants — are playing out right in front of our eyes.”

– Although the pace of vaccinations is still strong, there’s a growing fear that it’s about to slow down.
– Right now, the U.S. is still making fantastic progress on vaccinations…but… variants of the virus [are] causing new outbreaks and infect[ing] more children
– The more widely a virus can spread, the more opportunities it has to mutate. If[ [we] don’t vaccinate a sufficient percentage of the population….then even years into the future, we could be living through more new variants — some of which might be more deadly, some of which might be more resistant to vaccines, some of which might be more dangerous for certain specific populations.
The bottom line: This darker future is preventable, and our abundant supply of highly effective vaccines is the way to prevent it. The more people get vaccinated now, the smaller the role COVID-19 is likely to play in the rest of our lives.

All countries should pursue a Covid-19 elimination strategy: here are 16 reasons why

Thu 28 Jan 2021

I’ll post a link to the article, and to my script, in the shownotes
ポッドキャストの説明欄に元の記事、今日のepisodeの英語のセリフ、参考のリンクを貼ります

記事のまとめ・Summary:


簡単な英語で記事をまとめながら、日本語で内容を説明しましょう。
Many countries, for example NZ, China, Taiwan and Vietnam, have successfully pursued New Zealand and China have successfully pursued a coronavirus elimination strategy.

The past year of Covid-19 has taught us that it is the behaviour of governments, more than the behaviour of the virus or individuals, that shapes countries’ experience of the crisis.

The apparent waves of infection were driven by government action and inaction.

オンライン授業を早めに作成する方法

English version of this post here

日本は(やっと)緊急事態宣言を出して、臨時休暇などに入っている学校は少なくないため、多くの先生は(超)急いでオンラインの授業の仕組みを考え出している。早めに対応が出来るように、この方法を最初の一歩として使ってみれば?

便利ですから、授業のLINEグループを作ったことがある講師は結構いると思います。基本として、LINEの代わりにグーグルクラスルームを第一のコミュニティツールとして使って、そちから生徒たちにはビデオチャットの授業、課題などのお知らせをする。

(ビデオチャットといえば、Zoomは代表的で便利ですが、様々なセキュリティやプライバシーの問題が明らかになってきて、下にこの問題について少し話します)

追加2020-04-10:
最低限に簡単化出来ることを気がついた:
必要なのは:
1.皆学生が入っている、簡単にメッセージやリンクを投稿出来るアプリのクラスグループ。グーグルクラスルームは適切(特に、課題とかシェアが出来る機能充実)ですが、本当は何でもいいです:LINEグループでも十分。
2.グループで話せるアプリ。先生によって、ビデオなくてもいいなら声だけでもいいかもしれない、そうであれば更に選択の幅は広がる。

セットアップのやり方

1. 個人のグーグルアカウントからグーグルクラスルームを開く:
https://classroom.google.com/

2. 右上の “+” > クラスを作成
