Japan declare nationwide state of emergency amid continued virus spread

A man wearing a protective face mask sits in a subway train during rush hour after the government announced a state of emergency for the capital and some prefectures following the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, in Tokyo, Japan April 16, 2020.

TOKYO – Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday extended a state of emergency due to the coronavirus to cover the whole country to stem the spread of the disease.

“Areas, where a state of emergency should be carried out, will be expanded from the seven prefectures to all prefectures,” Abe told a special meeting of medical experts called to discuss the disease.

On April 7, Japan declared a state of emergency over the coronavirus crisis for seven of the nation’s 47 prefectures.

The prefectures covered by the declaration at the time were Tokyo, Osaka, Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Hyogo and Fukuoka prefectures.

The declaration better empowers those prefectures’ governors to take enhanced measures to curb the spread of the virus.

But other prefectures’ governors have vehemently been calling to be added to the list, as the virus continues to spread elsewhere in the country.

Some prefectures, meanwhile, have taken matters into their own hands and issued their own state of emergency independent of the central government.

As with those under the emergency declaration, they have also asked their residents to take various precautionary measures, such as working from home, avoiding crowded areas and reducing social contact by up to 80 percent, in a bid to prevent the virus’ spread.

Where Did Chinese Get Their Spicy Kicks Before the Chili Pepper?

Where Did Chinese Get Their Spicy Kicks Before the Chili Pepper? muTu Note - Learn Chinese with Chinese Girl What is the most iconic Chinese food? Americans might say 宫保鸡丁 (gōng bǎo jī dīng Kung Pao chicken), while Japanese insist that 麻婆豆腐 (má pó dòu fu Mapo Tofu) is king. Even within China, most answers will be quite predictable, such as 水煮鱼 (shuǐ zhǔ yú spicy boiled fish), 麻辣小龙虾 (má là xiǎo lóng xiā hot and spicy crawfish), or 大盘鸡 (dà pán jī Big Plate Chicken). Notice any similarities? It seems that the red and spicy chili pepper(辣椒，là jiāo) is the through line that makes many Chinese dishes immediately recognizable. However, if you were paying attention in your history classes, you’ll know that the chilies we eat today are not a native（本土的，běn tǔ de） species（物种，wù zhǒng） of China. So the question is, what did ancient Chinese use in their kitchen to add that pinch of flavor to spice things up? The former way of writing 辣 better demonstrates the relation between 辣 and 辛.
