There is a controversy that the ‘technological demonstration’ of a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) by the Japanese authorities is a human experiment.
Japan’s professional baseball Yokohama DeNA Basetas received a total of 68,981 spectators from last month 30-1 against the Hanshin Tigers at hometown Yokohama Stadium in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture. For three days, a crowd of nearly 70,000 gathered.
On the afternoon of Day 1, Sankei Sports said, “Kanagawa Prefecture, DeNA, Nippon Electric (NEC), LINE, etc., together developed measures to prevent COVID-19 infection and received an audience of close to 10,000 won. . And the ‘technological demonstration’ was carried out to investigate the results ”.
“On the first day, 51% or 16,594 people entered the stadium, with a capacity of 32,402, and on the second day, 76% or 27,537 people, and 86%, respectively, visited the stadium. The audience gathered 68981. ”This ‘Tech Show’ was held by IT companies and the Japanese government to confirm the safety of spectators at sporting events in preparation for the Tokyo Olympics next year. Currently, the size of professional sports spectators set by the Japanese government is 50%, but more people are allowed to experiment.
Sankei Sports said: “The government is planning to prepare guidelines for hosting large-scale events based on the data obtained. It seems that this time, valuable information was added through the cooperation of many people.”
The same experiment is expected to continue at the Yomiuri Giants and Yakult Swallows match at Tokyo Dome on 7 and 8. Since the dome stadium is an enclosed venue, it is known that there is an increased risk of corona infection 19 .
The Japanese authorities are conducting this experiment under the name of ‘technological demonstration’, but there is also a controversy that the experiment is inappropriate for the human body of people.
Professor Koichi Kawakami from the National Institute of Genetics expressed concern, saying: “Until now we have been against it, but at the worst moment, a demonstration experiment (infection experiment) was carried out at the Yokohama stadium.”
Previously, Professor Kawakami argued that three things should be clarified: who is the representative of the demonstration experiment Δ, Δ if the representative has undergone an ethical review by the organization to which he belongs and whether or not we have obtained the prior consent of the test subject (audience).
In recent years, the amount of corona19 confirmed daily in Japan is increasing. According to NHK, a public broadcaster, the average number of confirmed cases per day for a week is close to 700. In such circumstances, the baseball field technology demonstration that brought together an unknown number of people in a space is inevitably controversial.
