COVID-19 是一种奇怪的疾病，500 年前，在疾病、战争和饥荒更加严重的情况下，它可能还没有被视为重大威胁。然而，在全球化和科技时代的今天，这种看似不起眼的疾病却变成了一场灾难。虽然大多数疾病是看不见的，但它们的症状可以很快被发现；然而，COVID-19 病毒的危险在于它仍然潜伏在普通人群中，并且只对选定的人展示其残酷的獠牙。身处暴风雨之中，我们倾向于认为事情之前进展顺利。然而，这是一种幻觉。我们的世纪被严重的问题所困扰。由于看不见，COVID-19 已经暴露并有可能加速它们的发生。 COVID-19 暴露了人类的脆弱性。尽管现代社会倾向于自我缓冲（Taylor，2007），但我们仍然存在致命的漏洞和脆弱性。新冠疫情是否让我们正视并接受自己的脆弱？或者它是否加速了缓冲过程，让我们认为我们可以变得“不朽”（Harari，2017）？ COVID-19 暴露了社会不公正现象。尽管这种流行病可以感染所有人，但大多数受害者来自生活贫困/与世隔绝的社会阶层，例如穷人、老年人、移民和少数族裔。 COVID-19 暴露了所有社会内部日益加剧的不平等现象，如果不采取适当措施，不平等现象可能会加剧。 COVID-19暴露了技术渗透社会的程度。世界各地的教师正在学习使用 Zoom 和 YouTube 等技术来进行在线教学。原本随意推行的网络教学，一下子就成了最高指挥。在学校和公司等许多日本机构中，疫情暴露了日本的僵化和不愿引进新技术的态度。然而，尽管COVID-19将加速新技术引入社会，这将产生许多积极影响，使我们的社会变得更加高效，但我们必须小心，效率的诱惑不要腐蚀基于面对面沟通的基本关系。随着在技术的帮助下对人口的监视增加，这些危险变得尤其严重，这种技术在和平时期会遇到强烈的阻力，但由于大流行的限制，现在在许多自由社会中被容忍。正如福柯在《规训与惩罚》中所声称的那样，瘟疫证明并促进了过去纪律措施的引入（Foucault，1975）。 “战争”的言论已经并将继续证明紧急措施的合理性，然后这些措施可能会成为既定的事实。
COVID-19 is a strange disease, which 500years ago, amid more violent diseases, wars and famine, might not have been seen to be major threat. However, today, in the age of globalization and technology, this seemingly inconspicuous disease has turned out to be a disaster. While most diseases are invisible, their symptoms can be quickly detected; however, the danger of COVID-19 virus is that it remains latent in the general population and only shows its cruel fangs to the chosen. Situated in the midst of a storm, we tend to think that things were going well before. However, this is an illusion. Our century had been beset with serious problems. Being invisible, COVID-19 has exposed and potentially accelerated them. COVID-19 has exposed human vulnerability. Despite the tendency of modern age to be the buffered self (Taylor, 2007), we are still fatally porous and vulnerable. Does the new epidemic make us face and accept our vulnerability? Or does it accelerate the buffering process making us think we can become “immortal”(Harari, 2017)? COVID-19 has exposed social injustice. Even though the pandemic can infect everyone, most victims have come from the social classes that are living in poor/secluded conditions, such as the poor, the aged, immigrants, and minorities. COVID-19 has exposed the rising inequalities within all societies and can accelerates them if proper measures will not be taken. COVID-19 has exposed the degree to which technology has penetrated the society. Teachers around the world are learning to handle technologies such as Zoom and YouTube in order to teach online. The online teaching, which had been introduced willy-nilly, suddenly became the supreme command. In many Japanese institutions, such as schools and companies, the pandemic has exposed a rigidity and reluctance to introduce new technology. However, while COVID-19 will accelerates the introduction of new technology into the society, which will have many positive effects and make our society more efficient, we must be careful that the temptation of efficiency does not corrode the basic relationships based on face to face communication. These dangers become especially acute as the surveillance of the population increases with the help of the technology, which would have met with strong resistance in the time of peace but is being tolerated in many liberal societies now due to the pandemic restrictions. As Foucault claimed in the Discipline and Punish, plagues justified and facilitated the introduction of disciplinary measures in the past (Foucault, 1975). Rhetoric of “war” has justified and continue to justify emergency measures, which then may become established facts.
