前回は効くのか効かないのか、コロナ治療薬・予防薬としてイベルメクチンはどうなの？という話でした。実際に個人輸入で買っているという人、信用できないという人、様々でしたね。まったくわかりません。確かなのは、人間が家畜用を飲んじゃだめってことでしょう。

そして今回は「光が見えた」「コロナは曲がりなりにも収束した」なんて呑気なことを言ってる人もいる一方で「いやいや、光どこやねん」という人もまだまだ多い日本のコロナ。冬に来るであろう第六波に向けて有効な対策が欲しいところですが、なんだかすっきり道筋が見えません。

そんな中で「お前らのせいちゃうん？」と叩かれ気味なのが日本医師会です。本当に医師会が悪いのか？メディア報道も含めて、いっしょに考えてみましょう。

Topic 1: Now we're in the middle of the best season for sports!

Q1: Do you enjoy doing sports? If so, why not share your stories? If not, do you want to start doing anything?

Q2: Did you do anything unique, interesting, fun or unusual in PE classes or an after-school club?

Q3: Let's share your great, funny or embarrassing moments in sports.

Q4: Who are your sports heroes?

Topic 2: Do we really need Japan Medical Association as it is?

We must be grateful to medical doctors for their great efforts during the pandemic. That's for sure. However, it's also true that Japan Medical Association (JMA) has a very bad reputation these days. Is JMA really responsible for the mess we are facing? Or has it been falsely accused of the situation? Anyway, I would like us to discuss this peculiar association. Let's just focus on JMA this time, although there may be so many issues about our healthcare system.

Q1: What is JMA for? What benefits do medical doctors enjoy from it? Is there anything beneficial for patients or the government?

Q2: Is JMA responsible for the chaos surrounding COVID, including the shortage of hospital beds? Or do you think that many COVID patients have been saved because of JMA?

Q3: What other problems do you see regarding JMA?

Q4: Do we really need JMA as it is? If not, is there anything we can do to change the situation?
