What's happening with new Coronavirus?

Talk about your thoughts and feelings.

 

We have been operating a social networking service (hahako*cafe) as a place to exchange information and interact with people who are worried after the Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear incident.  Now, as the new Coronavirus situation becomes more serious, we hear a lot of information and rumors.

Although each one of us has different levels of anxiety about this situation, we feel that mental burden got heavier.  Regarding foreigners living in Japan, they may have an even more difficult time due to the language barrier.

There is a lot of information coming from facebook, twitter, TV news, etc., but there are only a few places where we can express anxiety.  It may be not easy for some people to express their insecurities, even to those closest to them.

 

Therefore, we have decided to launch a SNS with registration required (hahako*cafe 2020) where people can safely share thoughts and feelings anonymously from anywhere.  We are not experts, so we cannot solve the problems directly, but we hope that this online platform can soothe our anxiety.
