nishio: Now we implicitly assume that “seasons” are “spring, summer, fall, and winter”, but it is possible to have a state of “high virus season and low virus season” like “dry season and rainy season”. I was talking about this.

nishio: Like a hibernating bear waking up and coming out in the spring, when the low virus season comes, people who have been cooped up at home come out and mingle all over the place!

nishio: “Storm season is coming soon…”(in the Omicron sense)

nishio: hurry up and get to the festival before the storm hits!

nishio: Our civilization, because of the development of roads and railroads, we take it for granted that we can move around, but in winter, for example, there are areas where heavy snowfall makes it impossible to come and go.

nishio: New Four Seasons “Fewer people infected, fewer reproductions.” “The number of infected is still low, but the number of reproductions has exceeded one.” “The number of infected is high, the number of reproductions is over 1, if you’re not careful, you’ll die, it’s a testing season.” “The number of infected people is still high, but the number of reproductions has dropped below one.”
