Influence and measures of COVID-19 pandemic ―alert against CORONA-related frailty progression

Abstract

The problem of the epidemic of new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) is certainly likely to become severe in the elderly, and unfortunately many people have lost their lives as a result. However, it not only shows new issues of infectious diseases, but also visualizes various regional issues and social issues that had existed before the epidemic at an earlier stage. Looking ahead to the post-corona society, what to convey to individual people and how to reflect it in the creation of a new community will be a major turning point. This issue means how the way people's QOL should change in the post-corona era. At the same time as establishing vaccines and therapeutic agents, while realizing both “our unforgettable origin” and “a new image of the next generation of local communities (including a new digital society)” toward a truly human-centered society. I hope that people will come closer to each other, feel a bond, and create new value for a prosperous society for all generations.
