原文と町山訳とハフポスト訳を見比べていたら少し気になったので。
We need public servants that serve something larger than their own power or their own party.
We need public servants who will serve higher ideals, the ideals in which this country was founded, the ideals that other countries look up to.
政治家に必要なのは、彼ら自身の権力よりも自分の政党よりも大きな理念に奉仕する心です。その理念はアメリカが築き、他の国の目標とされてきました。
政治家に必要なのは、権力よりも政党よりも偉大なもの、より高い理念に奉仕することです。その理念はこの国が築き、他の国からも尊敬されてきました。

we need public servatns that なんとかかんとか
これを「政治家に必要なのはなんとかかんとか」と訳すのは、まあそういうものなのかという感じがしないでもない。
the ideals in which this country was founed
これを「その理想はこの国が築いた」と訳すのは驚きがある。
と、DeepL翻訳を駆使して書いてみた。
その辺りはご愛嬌って事で。

これから書く文章はキングコング西野の絵本を劇場アニメ化した「えんとつ町のプペル」の感想である。
なお、私はこの映画を見てないし例え賄賂を貰っても観に行く事はないだろう。
つまり、これは私の想像に基づく感想文です。正確かもしれないし、正確でないかもしれない。
しかし、私は気にしない。これは語り継がれるべき物語だ。そして、それは全体として語られるに値する。では、始めましょう！
大前提として、キングコング西野がお笑い芸人を気取った炎上インフルエンサーであることに注目する必要がある。これは彼の作品に共通するテーマのようです。
これについては、「なぜ？これは、意志の弱い者のための松葉杖としての皮肉な現代の風潮に対する、ある種の皮肉なコメントなのだろうか？彼は本当にこのように気取っていたのだろうか？彼はそんなに面白かったのだろうか？(No.) 彼は刑期を終えて釈放されたヤンコ・ウルラの次の笑い中心のコメディアンになろうとしていたのだろうか？ いやいや...
私はどこにいたんだろう？
どうやら「ペプル」なる少年を主軸としたジュブナイルファンタジーらしいのだが、私は原作を読んでないのでその様に類推した。が、もしかすると蒸気機関の様な何かが出て来るので、スチームパンク…もしくはそれに類する何かが出てくるのだろう。
重要なのは子供向けに作られたものだということだから、それはどうでもいいことだと思う。
私は子供向けの映画に文句を言う人ではありませんが（というか、誰がそうなのか！）、これは退屈しました。登場人物はすべて一次元的で、予測可能で、それらのどれもが歌うことができませんでした。
曰く「キングコング西野の影がチラついて鑑賞の妨げになる」と。
これは当然だと思います。
前述の通りキングコング西野は「炎上インフルエンサー」です。自身を執拗にアピールすることなぞ当たり前にやってのけます。それが彼の特技だからです。
「炎上インフルエンサー」は全員悪目立ちしないとお金が稼げない成年被後見人以下のクソ野郎なので、そこは笑って忖度してあげましょう。
しかし、この場合はキングコングが正解かもしれない。そう、この映画はひどい。でも、人が見に行かなければ世界が良くなるとは思えない。
最後に。
極端に聞こえるかもしれませんが この世の「炎上インフルエンサー」が 一人残らず絶滅することを心から願っています 数が多すぎるからね。
それは一般的に世界のために、これらの人々が死ぬべきであり、私は彼らが死ぬべきであると私たちの種族のために、特にそれがより良いと思います。
なぜですか？
もちろん、職業選択の自由はあるので一概には言えませんが、過激な言葉で注目を集める人が突然死しても何ら問題はないと断言します（YouTubeでも似たような行動をしています）。
彼らが絶滅してくれれば世の中が良くなると思う。彼らの才能で稼げなくなっても、いずれは消滅するだろうし、それはそれで良いことだと思います。
終わり。

（おまけ。英語版）
What I am about to write is my impressions of "Pupel of Entotsumachi," an animated film based on King Kong Nishino's picture book.
I haven't seen this movie, and I wouldn't go see it even if I were bribed to do so.
In other words, this is an opinion piece based on my imagination. It may or may not be accurate.
But I don't care. This is a story that needs telling. And it deserves to be told in its entirety. So let's get started!
As a basic premise, it is necessary to note that King Kong Nishino is a flaming influencer pretending to be a comedian. This appears to be a common theme among his work.
I have no real questions about this except why? Is this some sort of ironic commentary on the modern tendency towards irony as a crutch for the weak-willed? Was he really this pretentious? Was he even that funny? (No.) Was he trying to be the next laugh centered comedian Yanko Urla released after his prison term? (No.)
Where was I?
Now, let's talk about the important part of the story.
It seems to be a juvenile fantasy about a boy named "Pepuru", but since I haven't read the original, I guessed it that way. I haven't read the original, so I'm guessing that's what it's about, but maybe it's steampunk or something similar, since there's something like a steam engine in it. I suppose it doesn't really matter, since the point is, this thing was made for children.
Now, I'm not one to grumble at a child's movie (I mean, who is?!) but this one just bored me. The characters were all one-dimensional, the predictable, and none of them COULD sing.
In fact, I knew the reputation of this movie beforehand.
I was told that "the shadow of King Kong Nishino flickers in the background and interferes with the viewing.
As I mentioned above, King Kong Nishino is a "flame influencer". It's no surprise that he appeals himself relentlessly. That's because it's his specialty.
All "flame influencers" are wards of the law or worse who need to stand out to make money, so let's just laugh at them and let them be disciplined.
In this case, however, King Kong might be in the right. Yes, this movie is terrible. But I'm not convinced the world would be a better place if people didn't go to see it.
Finally.
I know this may sound extreme, but I sincerely hope that every single "flaming influencer" in this world will die out. There are too many of them.
It is better for the world in general, that these people should die out, and I think it is better for our kind specifically, that they should die out.
Why?
Of course, there is freedom of choice, so it is difficult to say for sure, but I assure you that there is nothing wrong with the sudden death of those who attract attention with their radical words (or similar actions on YouTube).
I think the world would be a better place if they were to just go extinct. If they are unable to make money with their talents, they will eventually disappear, and that's good for all of us.

Korean propaganda is always made out of fabrication and lies.
In fact, there’ve been a series of violent incidents, such as the Kansai ready-mixed concrete incident,
in which Japanese people are threatened and killed They have something in common with BLM and ANTIFA.

In the US, people usually speak street names. For example, when you ask someone "where is that great sandwich store?" they will say "It's 18th-mission." or something. This indicates the location of the store is around the crossing corner of two streets, 18th and Mission. Just an example but I mean the way of speaking locations heavily depends on the culture and conventions of the area or country. No implication in it.
Voxtrotってバンドは全然知らないし、他の曲もそんなにピンと来ない(というかちゃんと聞いてない)んだけど、The Start of Somethingはマジでいい曲すぎてビックリする
まずなんと言っても始まり方がいい 歌に入るまでがクソ短く、なんならイントロが存在しない
なのにこう、途切れずに歌い続ける系の可愛らしい曲なんだよな 最初は静かに始まって…とかサビの叫びから始まって…ていうんじゃなく、最後まで続くフワッとしたノリが開幕0秒から始まる 無駄がない
歌詞もよくわかんねえんだけどいい 賢そうなことをヒョロヒョロ歌いやがる
If I die clutching your photograph, don’t call me boring
「もしぼくが君の写真を握りしめて死んでても、つまんない男だなんて言わないでくれよ」とかかなーりクサイ感じなんだけど、わりと情けない声でサラッと歌われるので逆にかなりの良さが生じている
そして聞いてて心地よいんだな 繰り返しとかohの挟まれ方なんかが絶妙で、こう口角が上がってくる感じがある マジでいい
終わり方もいいんだよなあ
まず間奏のシメでドラムがダダダダダっと鳴るのがかなり良い そういう部分がある曲は基本的にハズレなし
そしてMarianne から始まるフレーズの連呼がいい マリアンが誰か知らんけど、名前の響きがいいよな
Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight
「マリアン、今夜は亡霊たちを眠らせておいて」なんてよく分からんけどカッコいいフレーズを、こう春の夜風みたいな感じの雰囲気で連呼されるとなんかウワーッとなるのも当然のこと
いいよマジで つかそうですよこの曲は全体に夜風っぽいんだよな ぬるい季節の夜風みたいな心地よさがある 季節でいうと絶対春だと思う
この曲はいいなあ
こういう好きな曲を増やしていきたい
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/may/20/andrew-cuomo-new-york-coronavirus-catastrophe
There’s something disturbing about Cuomo being hailed as the hero of the pandemic when he should rightly be one of the villains. As Business Insider notes, he is now only able to attain praise for his actions because his earlier failures made those actions necessary. He’s lauded for addressing a problem that he himself partly caused. Of course, part of this is because Donald Trump has bungled the coronavirus response even more badly, so that Cuomo – by not being a complete buffoon – looks like a capable statesman by contrast. But this is the problem: for too long, Democrats have measured their politicians by “whether they are better than Republicans”. This sets the bar very low indeed, and means that Democrats end up settling for incompetent and amoral leaders who betray progressive values again and again.
彼は当然悪役の一人であるべきなのに、クオモがパンデミックの英雄として歓迎されているという不穏な何かがある。Business Insiderが指摘するように、彼は今、彼の行動のための賞賛を得ることができるだけである、なぜなら彼の以前の失敗がそれらの行動を必要としたからである。彼自身が部分的に引き起こした問題に対処したことで賞賛されている。もちろん、その一部は、ドナルド・トランプ氏がコロナウイルスへの対応をさらにひどく失敗させてしまったためで、クオモ氏は-完全な大馬鹿者ではないことによって-対照的に、有能な政治家のように見えるのだ。しかし、これが問題なのだ。あまりにも長い間、民主党は「彼らが共和党よりも優れているかどうか」で政治家を評価してきた。これは、バーを非常に低く設定しており、民主党は、進歩的な価値観を何度も何度も裏切る無能で不道徳な指導者に落ち着くことになることを意味しています。

自分たちが何を目標としているかを示さずに、対立相手の悪い部分を指摘したり、比較して自分は良いと言っているだけの状態に陥ってしまい結局何がしたいのか見えなくなりつつあるということだ。

――ところで、わたしは昔から、最後のスタンザは少し弱いのではないかと思っていたのですが……。
( ・3・) 弱い？ 「リング」と「スプリング」とで韻を踏むのはありきたりだとか？
――弱いというよりは、ピンとこないといったほうが正確かもしれません。「彼女は春に生まれたが、わたしは生まれるのが遅すぎた」――これはどういうことなんでしょう。
( ・3・) 彼女のほうが歳上だったんじゃないか？ 50歳くらい。
――それはたしかに too late な気がしますが、もし年齢が離れていることが問題なら、彼女が三月生まれであれ、七月生まれであれ、一年のうちで生まれた時期に言及する意味はないはずなんです。
( ・3・) 春に生まれようが夏に生まれようが誤差みたいなものだからな。
( ・3・) ははは、まさか。
――ここに一枚の写真があります。1975年に撮られたものです。
https://twitter.com/kedardo/status/1242030916232339458
( ・3・) ボブ・ディラン、本を読む。
――何という本ですか？
( ・3・) 『クリスタル・マジック』と書いてある。マジックのつづりが変だけど。
――目次には次のような言葉が並んでいます。「ケンタウルスが獅子を狩る」「シャンカラの理論は現実をどう捉えるか」「ハクスリーの知覚の扉」「アジュナチャクラあるいは第三の目」「カバラの諸相」
( ・3・) 神秘主義のロイヤル・ストレート・フラッシュという感じだな。
――星座が何であれば、支配星は何、エレメントは何、という表も載っています。
( ・3・) 本を読め、ただしまともな本を、と釘を刺したばかりだというのに。
――まともな本も読んでいますよ。このころディランはチェーホフやコンラッドに傾倒していたはずです。 [3] [4]
( ・3・) じゃあ『クリスタル・マジック』はたまたま手にとっただけで、内容を真に受けたとまではいえないんじゃないか？
――1974年、コンサート・ツアーを再開した理由を、ディランは次のように語っています。「わたしの惑星系 (my planetary system) において土星が障害となっていた。その状態がしばらく続いていたが、いま土星は別の場所へ移動した」 [5]
――1976年のアルバム『ディザイア』のバック・カヴァーには、タロットが描かれています。
( ・3・) タロット！ イタロ・カルヴィーノの『宿命の交わる城』は何年だっけ。ちょっと待って――第一部・第二部の合本が出たのが1973年。英訳は1977年だ。
――1978年のインタヴューでは、占星術を信じているのかと単刀直入に訊かれています。
PLAYBOY: OK, back to less worldly concerns. You don't believe in astrology, do you?
DYLAN: I don't think so.
PLAYBOY: You were quoted recently as having said something about having a Gemini nature.
DYLAN: Well, maybe there are certain characteristics of people who are born under certain signs. But I don't know, I'm not sure how relevant it is.
PLAYBOY: Could it be there's an undiscovered twin or a double to Bob Dylan?
DYLAN: Someplace on the planet, there's a double of me walking around. Could very possibly be. [6]
( ・3・) 信じているかといえば、信じてはいない。星座と人間の気質とのあいだには何か関係があるかもしれないが、どの程度なのかは分からない。――うーん、言質を取られるのを避けているみたいだ。
――もともと質問に率直に答える人ではないのですが。
( ・3・) 思い出した。昔、日本の有名な批評家がイェール大学に文学を教えに行ったんだが、向こうでは占星術が流行っていて、同僚の学者の生年月日がどうのこうのと書いていたっけ。あれも70年代半ばじゃなかったかな。
――期せずして、アメリカにおける神秘主義の流行、というテーマに足を踏み入れてしまいました。
( ・3・) ……引き返そうか。
――「彼女は春に生まれたが、わたしは生まれるのが遅すぎた」の意味をめぐって脇道にそれてしまいましたが、実は、意外なかたちで問題が消滅します。
――いえ、問題自体が消えてなくなってしまうんです。アルバム発表から一年も経たないうちに、歌詞が書き直されて、最後のスタンザは大きく変わります。1975年のライヴ録音を聴いてみましょう。
To know too much for too long a time
She should have caught me in my prime
Instead of going off to sea
And leaving me to meditate
( ・3・) ジェミニを連想させる "she was my twin" も含めて、占星術につながりそうな表現はなくなったな。詩の問題の解決を、人は問題の消滅によってうやむやにする。
――「彼女はわたしの双子だった」も、考えてみれば謎めいた表現です。「本当の恋人だった」と「双子だった」とが置き換え可能かといえば、そうではないと思います。
( ・3・) 歌詞だけじゃなくて、コード進行も旋律も変わっているぞ。
――そうなんです。これまでわれわれが検討してきたことの少なからぬ部分が、このヴァージョンには当てはまらなくなっている。ディランにしてみれば、もう「わたしはそこにはいない」んです。
( ・3・) うなぎみたいなやつだな。
――歌詞の変更は1975年以降も続きます。「彼」と「彼女」とが入れ替わったり――
( ・3・) 体が？
――立場がです。第一スタンザで「孤独を感じ」「まっすぐに歩いていればよかった」と願い、第二スタンザで「夜の熱気に打たれるのを感じ」るのは、「彼」ではなく「彼女」になります。80年代にはさらに全面的な変更があり、90年代には――
( ・3・) もはや原形を留めなくなった？
――いえ、それが――。
( ・3・) それが？
――おおむね元のかたちに戻りました。
( ・3・) ……。
――……。
( ・3・) 「彼女は春に生まれたが、わたしは生まれるのが遅すぎた」も？
( ・3・) 抑圧された占星術の回帰……。なくなったはずの問題の再燃……。まるで人生のようだ。
――これで「運命のひとひねり」は概観できました。全体について何かありますか？
( ・3・) 英語は易しめだったな。
( ・3・) 「彼」と「彼女」との間に何があったのか、曲のなかでは詳しく語られないけど、これは、その、いわゆる一夜の関係というやつなの？ [7]
――なぜそう思ったんですか？
――ただ、それだと、彼女がいなくなったときの彼の傷心ぶりや、「指輪をなくしてしまった」のくだりはうまく説明できません。
( ・3・) そうなんだよな。じゃあ、ある程度つきあった恋人たちの最後の夜だったんだろうか。
――第一スタンザに、「体の芯に火花が走るのを感じた」とありますが、これは恋に落ちるときの表現だと思います。まあ、よく知っている相手に対して改めて火花を感じる、という可能性もゼロではありませんが。
( ・3・) すでにつきあっている恋人同士なら、見知らぬホテルの前でまごまごするのも不自然だしな。うーん、こんがらがってきた。一方では、彼と彼女とは一夜の関係に見える。ある日の夕暮れに物語が始まって、翌朝には彼女は姿を消している。その一方、物語の後半では、彼は生涯の伴侶を失った男のように見える。
――常識と観測結果とが矛盾するときは、常識を捨てなければなりません。
( ・3・) 何を言いだしたんだ急に。
――ある日の夕暮れから翌朝まで、と考えて矛盾が生じるのであれば、そう考えるのをやめればいいんです。
( ・3・) いや、でも、ある日の夕暮れから翌朝までじゃないの？ ネオンの輝く見知らぬホテルに長期滞在して、数年後の朝に彼女はいなくなりました、なんていくらなんでも無理があるだろう。
――キュビズムの絵画では、ある対象を複数の視点から捉え、平面のキャンバスに再構成して描きます。
( ・3・) 何を言いだしたんだ急に。
――ある日の夕暮れから翌朝まで、という枠組みのなかに、出会いから別れまでの一切が凝縮されたかたちで描かれているとしたら？
( ・3・) 時間の流れが一律ではなかったということか？
――いいですか、時計の秒針が聞こえてくるのは、彼女がいなくなった後です。それから彼にとっての永遠の現在が始まり、彼女がいた過去は、彼の記憶のなかで遠近法的な奥行きを失うんです。
( ・3・) 時計を一種の仕掛けと見立てて、内在的に解釈するわけか。理屈は通っているかもしれないが、常識を捨てさせるには、まだ十分ではないと思うぞ。
――では、時間の流れが一律であるとは限らないという外在的な傍証を。1978年のインタヴューです。
Everybody agrees that that [Blood on the Tracks] was pretty different, and what's different about it is that there's a code in the lyrics and also there's no sense of time. There's no respect for it: you've got yesterday, today and tomorrow all in the same room, and there's very little that you can't imagine not happening. [8]
( ・3・) おい、詩に暗号が隠されていると言っているぞ。
――その点は保留にしてください。
( ・3・) 時間の意識は失われている。過去、現在、未来が同じ部屋に混在して、想像しえない出来事などほとんどない。
( ・3・) 「運命のひとひねり」の解題ではないんだな？
( ・3・) そうだな、まだ腑に落ちるとまではいかないが、時間の扱いは気に留めておいたほうがよさそうだ。
――はい。実は、キュビズムの絵画や、時間の意識をもちだしたのは、次に聴く曲「タングルド・アップ・イン・ブルー」でも同じ問題がでてくるからなんです。邦題は「ブルーにこんがらがって」。ディランの重要な曲を挙げるとしたら、まず10位以内には入る。人によっては1位かもしれない。というわけで、ウォーム・アップは終了です。次は少し難しくなりますよ。
そのようにして彼らは「タングルド・アップ・イン・ブルー」を聴き、「シェルター・フロム・ザ・ストーム」を聴いた。窓のかたちをした陽だまりが床を移動し、寝ていたストラヴィンスキーの首から下が影に入ってしまった。もう次の曲に進む時間は残っていなかった。デレク・ベイリーのCDを持って帰らなければ、と彼は思った。マイルス・デイヴィスやビル・エヴァンスならいつでも買い直せる。しかしベイリーは品切れのまま再発されないことだってありうるのだ。
「もう帰るのか？」と上司は言った。
「はい。それで、デレク・ベ」
「おまえの家は一戸建てだったな、たしか。陽当たりと風通しは良好か？」
「陽当たり？ まあ、それなりには。それで、デ」
「窓からの眺めは？」
「眺め？ まあ、壁しか見えないということはありませんが。そ」
「じゃあ、決まりだな」と上司は言い、リムスキー＝コルサコフの両脇を後ろから抱えると、目の高さまで持ち上げた。
「新しいパパだよ」
かくして予言は成就し、わたしは持っていったもの以上を持ち帰ることになる。小さなモフモフと、モフモフの当面の生活に必要なモフモフ用品とを。
まずはこの子に、猫としてまっとうな名前をつけよう。このままだと、もし何かの拍子に迷子にでもなったら、「リムスキー＝コルサコフ！ リムスキー＝コルサコフ！」と大声で呼びながら近所を捜し回らなくてはならない。獣医にかかるときだって、きっと問診票に名前を書く欄があるだろう。常軌を逸した飼い主だと警戒され、信頼関係を築くのに支障をきたすかもしれない。
しかし、猫に名前をつけるのは難しい――T・S・エリオットの Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats にもそう書いてある。クラシックの作曲家では大仰すぎる。ジャズ・ミュージシャンではどうだろう。わたしはCDとレコードの棚の前に立ち、名前の候補をピック・アウトしていく。チェット。論外である。マタタビに耽溺してばかりの猫になってしまいそうだ。ドルフィー。才能も人格も申し分ないが、早世の不安がつきまとう。ベイリー。デレク・ベイリーのCDを取り戻すまで、わたしはあとどれだけの道を歩まなくてはならないのだろう。
わたしは気づく。予言は成就していない。少なくとも完全には成就していない。人知を超えた力によって予言はねじ曲げられ、わたしは持っていったもの以上ではなく、持っていったもの以外を持ち帰ったのだ。新しい家の探検を終え、お腹を上にして眠る小さなモフモフよ、おまえのしっぽが曲がっているのも、運命のひとひねりのせいなのか？

I am currently working at a factory in a department where I work day shift and night shift. My workplace is in the countryside, where the nearest station is a station where only regular trains stop, and I live in a cheap apartment near a station where only regular trains stop. If I work the night shift, I have to wait for the train for 30 minutes no matter when it ends.
I once hated these 30 minutes.
Factory work is boring. It just repeats the same process. The only way I can cope with boredom is to think while working, or to take advantage of the noisy environment and sing at a decent volume. I didn't want to spend 30 minutes of idle time after such boredom was over, I wanted to go home early, eat, drink and go to bed, and I had no other feelings.
About this time last year, I started writing down things I'd been thinking about in my workday when I was bored, as a 30-minute reprieve from boredom. I am not a smart man, as many factory workers probably are. The longest I've ever written is perhaps a two-page, one-line book report.I struggled to come up with the best way to express myself while I was on shift, and I wrote it down while smoking a cigarette in the smoking area near the station. I can write about 1,000 or 2,000 words, more than three times the length of two pages and one line, without any difficulty.
Thus, I started to use these 30 minutes only for writing. Since then, I've spent my days finding something to write about for those 30 minutes, figuring out how to write it during my shift, and actually writing it while waiting the train.
I got a glimpse of the joy of writing freely, writing words that no one else will ever know.
And now, for the first time, I'm writing with the intention of getting others to read it.
On the first day of December, it was decided that I would be reassigned to a department that did not have a night shift, starting in April. It's a full-time day job that I've been waiting for for the last year, but after April I might be away from writing. When I thought about this, I felt the urge to have someone else read my writing.
I started this writing on December 2, 9 night shifts = 4.5 hours, so far about 800 words. Oddly enough, it's close to two pages and one line. The moment I want someone to read my writing, I find it very difficult to write. However, I'm proud to say that this text makes a lot more sense than the two pages and one line I once wrote, and above all, I was never bored while writing it.
I wonder if I will still be writing since April. We won't know that until the time is right. However, I will say this.
I now love to wait 30 minutes for the train after my night shift.

岩田さんがCCJの記者会見で主張していたCDCに必要なものと、日本の官僚組織との差異を書く。まずは下記が記者会見における記者からの質問と岩田さんの答えである。
質問: Do you think of the problem that you saw on the ship originated from was it because of the bad examples of a scientific decision making in terms of the crisis management that was happening on the ship?
答え: The simple answer is the lack of CDC as I said before. Why the situation inside that cruise ship had an inadequate infection prevention? I think (this) is because of the lack of principle. The infection prevention is a principle, and the principle will lead to the procedure not the other way around.
The principle will never be given by the bureaucrats, because they never had infection prevention training, they don't have an experience, and they don't have a system. CDC has should have all of these.
質問：You have argued Japan need something like a CDC. Could you elaborate more about your argument? What shortcoming do you see in the current system in Japan?
答え：For CDC, you need to have a concrete, separate, independent system among experts who can make a dicision in responding to these infectious disease epidemics. This has to be proffesional, they need to have an authority, they need to have an autonomy, and they need to have a clear independence. There should not be any cross-cutting from anybody from the backyard, because I've seen many things that are decided behind the scene.
この会見から、いまの官僚組織の問題点は下記が含まれる可能性がある。
CDCに官僚が入ると何がダメなのか。官僚の持つ悪い特徴は下記のとおりである。
上記の特徴から、官僚が組織に入った瞬間に非科学的な、空気を読んだ、防御的な、ただしもっともらしい類の行動が実施される。今回のクルーズ船対応はまさにその通りである。下記にいくつか非科学的な判断が官僚によってなされた例をあげる。
何度か繰り返していますが治癒証明や退院基準に検査陰性２回のルールは今すぐ改め、退院後の自宅療養期間など時間を根拠にしたほうがいいです。検査はウイルスの非存在を証明しませんし検査キットや人員を枯渇させます。皆の納得安心ではなく論理、合理、科学、そしてサステイナビリティを根拠にすべき— 岩田健太郎 Kentaro Iwata (@georgebest1969) February 21, 2020
次に言ってきそうなのは空間的ゾーニングは出来てないけど時間で分けてたというやや苦しい意見ですがちょうど写真にあつた空間にPPE来た人とマスクのクルー（感染してるかも）と背広の方が同時に同居してました。それで気絶しそうなショックを覚えたのです。— 岩田健太郎 Kentaro Iwata (@georgebest1969) February 20, 2020
消毒スペースがきれいか汚いかの区別がついていないから、防護衣が意味があるのかないのかも分からない。レッドなら意味があり、レッドから防護衣着てグリーンに入ると防護衣が感染を広めてしまう。自衛隊の落ち度ではありません。こういうのはプロが教えてあげないと。 https://t.co/kcO0X7fYCj— 岩田健太郎 Kentaro Iwata (@georgebest1969) February 18, 2020
今日、厚労省のSBさんに言ったこと。「無症候者のPCRは検査の無駄遣いです。すぐに止めるべきです」SBさん「でも、周囲が納得しない」。周囲の納得を科学に優先させるから子宮頸がんも無視状態になったのです。そして誤ったPCR解釈を根拠にCOVID感染は更に広がる。誰も責任を取らない。— 岩田健太郎 Kentaro Iwata (@georgebest1969) February 18, 2020
いくらCDCがないとはいえ、もうすこしマシかと思っていました。気を失いそうになるくらい愕然とし、２０年以上の医者人生でこれくらい自分の感染リスクを強烈に感じたことはありません。アフリカのエボラ対策でも北京でSARSに立ち向かってたときもここまで恐くはありませんでした。DMAT気の毒です。— 岩田健太郎 Kentaro Iwata (@georgebest1969) February 18, 2020

Diamond Princess is COVID-19 mill. How I got in the ship and was removed from it within one day. - 2020/02/18, kentaro iwata
Hello. My name is Professor Kentaro Iwata. I am a specialist of infectious diseases at Kobe University Hospital, Kobe, Japan.
Today I entered into[sic]*1 the cruise ship the Diamond Princess, which is, erm, bombarded by a lot of COVID-19 infeciton right now.
And I was removed from the ship on the same day and I'm gonna talk to you why this happened.
I was very concerned of the number of the people who got infected with the COVID-19 disease infections. Then I was wondering why this is[sic](was)*2 happening. I wanted to enter into the cruise ship and wanted to be useful in helping to containing infection there.
I spoke with several people and finally one officer at working for Ministry of Health and Labor called me yesterday, saying that well you can come and enter into a cruise ship and do the infection control works.
And I said fine then I prepared my stuff and I did all the paperworks and arrangement and got onto the Shinkansen from Kobe to Yokohama.
On the way to go to Yokohama I got another call from the same officer, saying, "Somebody didn't like me. So you can't get into the cruise ship." He was not able to say who, and he was not able to say why, but certainly some power over him affected his decision and I was blocked from entering into the ship.
Then after several discussions he found another way that if you could come as a DMAT member, you can come into the the cruise ship. DMAT is the disaster management medical team in Japan and usually deals with a disaster not infectious diseases, but because of the lack of the people who could help people inside a cruise ship to get out of the ship, or the managing of people, and so on, DMAT was requested to enter into the cruise ship.
Because my specialty is not disaster management, so I was not very happy about that, but because we had no other way I said, "Fine, I'll do that."
Additionally, I got another call that some people didn't like me getting into the cruise ship present even as a DMAT member. So another discussion happened then the I waited about one hour in Shin Yokohama Station, and finally the officer find a way. [He said] that "If you work for DMAT not as an infection prevention specialist but as an ordinary routine DMAT officer working under (inaudible01) DMAT doctor doing a routine job, then you could come into the cruise ship."
I was not very happy with that decision, but because there's no other way, so I said, "Fine, I'll get into the ship."
I entered the ship. Then I found the chief officer of the DMAT and spoke with him. I said, "Well I was assigned to the DMAT members (inaudible02) out whatever you want to say." Then he said, "Well, you don't have to work DMAT work because that's not your specialty. You are an infection prevention specialist, so why don't you do the infection control." Then I said, "Fine, I spoke with the superior of him who is[sic](was) in charge of the all the DMAT operations, and he also said, "You are an infection control person, so you should do infection control." I said, "Fine." But he said, "Well, you shouldn't be here as a DMAT member. You should come as (inaudible03) infection control specialist." He was not very happy about that while I was inside the DMAT. But because that was not my decision, there was no other way. So I said, "Well I have to do it."
I looked into the several places inside the ship and it turned out that the cruise ship was completely inadequate in terms of infection control.
There was no distinction between the Green Zone, which is free of infection, and the Red Zone, which is potentially contaminated by the virus.
So the people could come and go, (inaudible04) a PPE, off PPE. Crews were just walking around, the officers of the Ministry Health and Labor were walking around, DMAT people were walking around, psychiatrists were walking around.
And people were eating on the one plate. People were wearing PPE and off PPE, and eating lunch with their gloves on, and just dealing with the smartphone with full PPE, so it was completely chaotic.
And some crews had a fever. They went to the medical center while wearing N95 masks. But he didn't have any protection between his room and a medical room.
And the medical officer was not protecting herself. And she was very unhappy, saying that well she was already infected. I'm sure about that. She was completely giving up protecting herself.
Anyways I (have) dealt with a lots of infections (for) more than twenty years. I was in Africa dealing with the Ebola outbreak. I was in another country dealing with the cholera outbreak. I was in China in 2003 to deal with the SARS, and I saw many febrile patients there. I never had fear of getting infection myself for Ebola, SARS, (and) cholera, because I know[sic](knew) how to protect myself and how to protect others, and how the infection control should be. So I could do the adequate infection control; protect myself, and protect others.
But inside (the) Princess Diamond, I was so scared. I was so scared of getting COVID-19 because there was no way to tell where the virus is. No Green Zone, no Red Zone. Everywhere could have the virus and everybody was not careful about it.
There was no single professional infection control person inside the ship. And there was nobody in charge of infection prevention as a professional. The bureaucrats were in charge of everything.
I spoke with the head officer of the Ministry of Health and Labor and he was very unhappy with my suggestion of protecting DMAT people and other staffs so that no other secondary transmission would occur.
Then after several hours of talking to people and finding problems, I found a lot of issues there. For example, informed consent of getting a PCR from the people in the ship whereas(? inaudible05) on a paper, and that paper was going back and forth, back and forth with the room of the infection from the paper, by touching there[sic](it). So I suggested that maybe it's better to abandon the paper-type informed consent but rather getting the informed consent verbally would be more protective, and so on and so on.
I think I was reasonable. I never yell at anybody, I never criticize anybody personally, but I was trying to be constructive that we try to seek the constructive but immediate improvement to protect everybody inside the ship.
※このあたりから、独自に聞き取っておいてから字幕と照らし合わせるという方法に切り替えたので、ことばとことばの間のandなどを書かない頻度が増えます。
Then about five o'clock, the person from the quarantine office came in and approaced. (He) said, "Well you have to be out because you'll not be allowed inside the ship." Because I was inside the ship as a temporary officer of the quarantine. Apparently my bank(? inaudible06) was removed by somebody, and nobody said who, and then I was out.
The officer who offered me the job of infection control said he was sorry. Then I asked him, "So what do you wanna do? Do you want to infect everybody in the ship? It will be thousands of people who could potentially get COVID-19.
I don't criticize DMAT people. They were infection control specialists. Society of Infection Prevention entered, a lot of specialists came in, but they spent only a few days and they left. And they said they were fearful of getting infections themwelves.
I share the same fear. Because I'm in the same room now, and I separated from my family, I'm very scared of getting infection myself and I'm very scared of infecting my family too.
I'll be out of my medical services at Kobe University Hospital for maybe next two weeks to avoid further infections to occur. That is very likely to occur if you keep zero infection control inside the ship, the Diamond Princess, like this.
You might know that there is no CDC*3 in Japan, but I thought there must be some specialists called on and was[sic](were) in charge of infection control in ship. It's not expecting[sic](expected) (that) nobody was a professional infection control specialist, and (that) only the bureaucrats were doing the jobs, completely layman's work, violatiing all the infection control principles and risking people inside (of*4) further infections, so I'm not very surprised to see many new positive PCR to be broadcasted every day.
Hundreds of people got infected and a lot of people from outside Japan decided to take the people away from the ship and bring them to their home countries by airplane and offered them another 14 days of quarantine. I hope this will be an opportunity to raise a question (about) what is happening inside the ship.
I wish all the international bodies to request Japan to change. I wish everybody to call for the protection of people inside the Diamond Princess. Otherwise there'll be far more infections for passengers, for crews, for DMAT members, for psychiatrists, for officer(s) of the Ministry of Health and Labor. DMAT members consist of nurses and doctors and that they will go back to the hospital they work routinely and they might infect their patients further to spread the disease. I can't bear with it. I can't bear with it.
I think we have to change. We have to do something about these crews and we have to help people inside the ship, their safety and their life.
Again, I am Professor Kentaro Iwata, infectious disease specialist. Thank you for listening.

00:40
I was wondering why this is happening I
00:43

the he was not able to say who and he
01:32
was not able to say why but certainly
01:35
01:37
affected his decision and I was blocked
01:41
from entering into the shape then after
01:44
several discussions he found another way
01:46
that if you could come as a woman
01:48
team-up member you can come in at into
01:51
the cruise ship Jima is the disaster
01:53
management medical team in Japan and
01:55
usually deals with disaster not
01:58
infectious diseases but because of the
02:00
lack of the people who could help people
02:02
inside a cruise ship to get out of the
02:05
ship or the managing of people and the
02:08
swansong limit was requested to enter in
02:12
the cruise ship because my specialty is
02:16
not a disaster management so I was not
02:18
very happy about that but because we
02:20
have no other way I said fine I'll do
02:22
that
02:23
additionally I got another call that
02:26
some people didn't like me getting into
02:28
the cruise ship present even as a team
02:30
at members ODI another discussion
02:33
happened then the I rated about our one
02:38
hour in shin-yokohama sessions and
02:40
finally the officer find a way that if
02:42
you work for Team act not as an
02:45
infection prevention specialist but as
02:47
the ordinary routine diamond officer
02:51
working under wounded team at doctor
02:53
doing a routine job then you could come
02:56
into the cruise ship I was not very
02:59
happy with that decision but because
03:02
there's no other way so I said finding
03:04
out get into the ship I entered the ship
03:07
then I found the chief officer of the
03:11
d-mat and spoke with him I said well I
03:15
was assigned to the d-mat members or the
03:17
out whatever you want to say they he
03:19
said well you don't have to work team at
03:22
work because that's not your specialty
03:23
and you are an infection prevention
03:26
specialist so why don't you do the
03:27
infection control then I said fine I
03:29
spoke with the superior of him who is in
03:33
charge of the ultimate operations and he
03:36
also said that you are infection control
03:38
person so you should do infection
03:39
control I said fine but he said well you
03:42
shouldn't be here as a d'emic member you
03:46
should come as the along to infection
03:47
control specialist he was not very happy
03:49
about while I was inside a demon but
03:54
because that was not my decision there
03:56
was no other way Sophie I said well I
03:58
have to do it
03:59
I looked into the several places inside
04:03
the ship and the turned out that the
04:07
cruise ship was completely inadequate in
04:10
terms of the infection control there was
04:15
no distinction between the Green Zone
04:18
which is the free of infection and the
04:20
04:22
contaminated by Paris so the people
04:25
could come
04:26
and go welding a PPE of PPE crews were
04:32
just walking around and the officers of
04:36
ministry the house and the labor was
04:38
walking around d-mat people are walking
04:40
around psychiatrists are walking around
04:42
and people were eating on the one
04:45
players people were wearing PPE and off
04:49
PPE and eating lunch with a club song
04:52
and just dealing with the smartphone
04:56
with full PPE so it was completely
04:59
chaotic and some crews had a fever they
05:06
went to the medical center while wearing
05:08
and nike5 masks but he didn't have any
05:11
protection between his room and a
05:14
medical room and the medical officer was
05:17
not protecting herself and that she was
05:20
very happy saying that well she was
05:24
already infected I'm sure about that
05:26
so the she was completely giving up
05:30
protecting herself
05:32
anyways I dealt with a lots of
05:36
infections more than twenty years and I
05:39
was in Africa dealing with the Ebola
05:41
outbreak I was in another country is
05:44
dealing with the kalila outbreak I was
05:48
in China in 2003 to deal with the sauce
05:52
and I saw many febrile patient there I
05:55
never had fear of getting infection
06:00
myself for Ebola SARS cholera because I
06:07
know how to protect myself and how to
06:12
protect others and how the infection
06:15
control should be SOT I could do the
06:18
adequate infection control protect
06:21
myself and protect others but inside
06:24
princess diamond I was so scared I was
06:29
so scared of getting copied 19 because
06:33
there was no way to tell where the virus
06:36
06:39
everywhere could have Barris and
06:41
everybody was not careful about it there
06:45
was no single professional infection
06:47
control person inside the ship and that
06:49
there was nobody in charge of infection
06:52
prevention as a professional the
06:53
bureaucrats were in charge of everything
06:55
and I spoke with the head officer of the
06:59
Ministry of Health on labor and he was
07:01
very happy with my suggestion of
07:04
protecting Deemer people and other
07:06
staffs so that no other secondary
07:09
transmission to occur then after several
07:13
hours of talking to people and finding
07:16
problems I found a lot of issues there
07:19
for example informed consent of getting
07:23
a pcr from the people in the ship
07:26
whereas on a paper and that paper was
07:30
going back and forth back and forth with
07:34
the room of the infection from the paper
07:36
by touching there so I suggested that
07:38
maybe it's better to abandon the paper
07:42
type informed consent but resolutely
07:44
07:46
probably would be more protective so on
07:49
so on so yeah I I think I was reasonable
07:53
and I never yell at anybody and I never
07:56
criticize anybody personally but I was
07:59
trying to be constructive but we try to
08:01
seek the constructive but immediate
08:05
improvement to protect everybody inside
08:09
the ship then about five o'clock the
08:13
person from the quarantine of his came
08:15
in and approached said well you have to
08:17
be out because you will not be allowed
08:20
to insert a shape because I was inside
08:23
ship as the temporary officer of the
08:26
crown quarantine that he apparently my
08:31
my bank was removed by somebody and then
08:35
nobody said who that the I was out and
08:39
the officer who offered me the job of
08:43
infection control said he was sorry then
08:45
I asked him so what do you want to do
08:48
then do you want to infect everybody in
08:49
the ship it will be your thousands of
08:52
people who could
08:53
potentially get Kovac 19 i don't
08:58
criticize diamond people they were not
09:00
infection control specialists Society of
09:04
infection prevention entered the a lot
09:12
of specialists came in but they spend
09:16
only a few days and to left and they
09:19
said they were fearful of getting
09:20
infections and cells I share the same
09:23
fear because I'm in the same room now
09:26
and I separated from my family I'm very
09:31
scared of getting infection myself and
09:34
I'm very scared of infecting my family
09:37
too I'll be out of my medical services
09:41
at Culver University Hospital for maybe
09:44
next two weeks to avoid further
09:47
infections to occur that is very likely
09:51
09:55
infection control inside the ship that
09:58
brings us like this you might know that
10:02
there is no CDC in Japan but I thought
10:05
there must be some specialists called
10:08
on and was in charge of infection
control in ship it's not expecting
10:14
nobody was professional infection
control specialist and the only the
10:21
bureaucrats were doing the jobs
completely layman's work in the bio
10:27
letting all the infection control
10:29
principles and the risking people inside
further infections so I'm not very
10:36
surprised to see many new positive PCR
10:41
to be broadcasted every day hundreds of
10:44
people got infected and the lot of
10:47
people from outside Japan decided to
10:49
take the people away from the ship and
10:53
bring them to their home countries by
10:56
airplane and offered them another 14
10:59
days of current I I hope this will be
11:04
the opportunity to
11:07
raise a question what is happening
11:08
inside ship I wish all the international
bodies to request Japan to change I wish
11:16
everybody to call for protection of
people inside the diamond princess
11:26
otherwise though we far more infections
for passengers for clues for demon
11:34
members for psychiatrist for officer of
11:37
the Ministry of Health and labor d-mat
11:40
member consists of nurses and doctors
11:43
and that they will go back to the
11:44
hospital they work routinely and it's a
11:47
much infected their patients further to
11:50
11:53
I can't bear with it I can't bear with
11:56
it I think we have to change we have to
12:00
do something about these crews and we
12:05
have to help people inside the ship
12:08
their safety and the life again I am
12:15
professor can't order an infection this

for listening
英語の発音ってちょっとボイパっぽいなぁって、ボイパの練習と英語の発音の練習してて思ったことがある。
プッとかツッとかシュとかブッとか舌とか唇に息をぶつけて、喉を震わせないで音を出す感じが似てる。
つまり何がいいたいかって言うと、英語はラップするとそれだけでビートになりやすいんだよね。
「Dead Giveaway」とかでYOUTUBEでググってみてほしいんだけど、アメリカの女性3人の誘拐監禁事件、この発見者のインタビューにメロディつけただけでめっちゃラップぽいんだよね。
"I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man's arms. Something is wrong here. Dead giveaway."
なんかは Best line ever! ってコメントついてたりしてる。まあ面白おかしく編集はしてあるし、この人はインタビューの時点でかなり話題になってた特殊な例だけど。
元増田です。
サマーズの長期停滞論も、一時期やや忘れられつつあったのが、今年の世界的な金利低下で復活してきた面があると思います。
正しいのか正しくないのか私は判断付きませんが（たぶん正しいだろうとは思っています。利上げをしたといってもFFレートは結局2％にしかあげられず、バランスシートの縮小も中断を余儀なくされ、史上最低の失業率のもとで利下げに転じましたから。）、いちおうその点についてのご本人の言い分は
"Nobody ever said that the economy was always going to be permanently in a state of deflation. If you go back to the Alvin Hansen [who coined the secular stagnation phrase in 1939 ], he talked about weak recovery. So here we are. We’ve managed to get to 2% growth, not much inflation pressure, 4% unemployment and in order to be there, we’ve got a fed-funds rate eight years into a recovery of 1%. I read that as, on net, something substantial has happened relative to what anybody expected rather than nothing important happened.”
