What did we, Washingtonian, do better than NY?

4月

16日

Bellevue, Washington

Population of NY State = 19.45Mil
Population of WA State = 7.62Mil

Area of NY State = 54,556 SQM
Area of WA State = 71,362 SQM

Population Density of NY State = 365 people / SQM
Population Density of WA State = 107 people / SQM

Par Capita Income of NY State = $37,156
Par Capita Income of WA State = $57,896

No. of Coronavirus Infections Reported in NY State = 200,000
No. of Coronavirus Infections Reported in WA State = 10,000

No. of Hospital Beds per 1000 in NY State = 2.7
No. of Hospital Beds per 1000 in WA State = 1.7

----

Just looking at those numbers ... why do you think we have so little Coronavirus Infections? Here are what I came up with.

(1) NY State gas more than 3 time the people density.
(2) Average income is 35% less in NY compared to WA.

Those two factors seem to contributed a lot to the outcome of this pandemic. Unfortunately, it always come down to the wealth. I do not know the number of infections based on the income level within the State. That will be something I would look at.

Surprisingly, NY State has more hospital beds per 1,000 than WA State. So it does not seems to be the medical system break down that caused explosive infections in NY State.

By no means the pandemic is over.
Let's keep up the good work. I think looking at those numbers, avoiding close contact with other people may be the key. There will be time to shake hands when it is over.

March 2, 2020
Seattle Times

Just 6 weeks ago, I took a picture because I saw this headline. As you can see, we have had our second death from Coronavirus in the US on March 2. Who would thought just in 6 seeks, we has over 22,000 deaths in the US.

I really hope we will see the slow down in the infection rate and death. Take care everyone.

By the way, if you need any Internet related help, whether you are our customer or not, please contact me. It's not a tome to think business. it is a time to help each other.

End Game

4月

12日

Pompom and Tiny ... You guys please wait little longer.

You have better chance of getting COVID-19 and die than hitting the jackpot on lottery. First time in my life, I feel like there is a chance of me contracting this and die from it. The sad part is from the day you first show your symptom, you may only have 2 weeks (if not less) to die. And you man not be Abe to communicate with anyone one you are hospitalized.

I am not ready for that. Is anyone ready for that? Do I have to get ready? What are the things I need to do? How about people working at my company? Hmm...

I am not ready. I have not even started to be ready.

Japan Business Opportunities : New Transit System in Japan

4月

7日

The Port Island Line, commonly known as Port Liner.

New Transit Yurikamome, formally the Tokyo Waterfront New Transit Waterfront Line.

The picture above is The Port Island Line, commonly known as Port Liner. There are many innovations on this transportation system, Here are some of them.

(1) It is totally operated unmanned. (There is no driver or conductor on board)
(2) It runs on the track not rail. There are rubber tiers. (Less Noise and Smoother Rode)
(3) Automatic Windows Dimming ... When it pass near the building, windows dime to assure privacy.

This is an alternative to light rail. It can be modified to run on the street instead of traditional rail only system. I think it may have been the better system than the light rain we are building in Seattle area.

What is Port Liner?

The Port Island Line, commonly known as Port Liner is an urban automated guideway transit system in Kobe, Japan, operated by Kobe New Transit. Opened in 1981, the Port Liner was one of the world's first driverless urban transit systems, followed closely by the VAL system used on the Lille Metro, which opened in 1983.

Should we wear masks?

4月

5日

One of the phenomenon in Japan is the fact that people wear masks even before COVID-19 Pandemic, There are several reasons why people in Japan wear masks. Here are some of the reasons:

(1) Air Pollution
(2) Allergy
(3) Cold (Not to infect others.)
(4) No Need for Make-Up
(5) Looks Cute
(6) Hide Identify (For Celebrities)
(7) Hide Facial Expressions
(8) Fashion

Because of this, Jaoan may be experiencing one of the slowest Pandemic development. Unfortunately, people cannot wear masks when they drink or eat, That also may be the reason when there are clusters of infections at bars and Karaoke in Tokyo.
