Here is the writing part of the Eiken first grade test held on June 2nd, 2019.
Agree or disagree: Infectious diseases will become a bigger problem in the coming decades

I wonder how those who created the question felt when they first learned about the COVID-19 and its rapid spreading.
The virus surely is a worldwide problem, but I am rather scared of ordinary people’s unusual behavior lacking in kindness, driven by the feeling of being threatend by the virus or being stressed out, though I think it must be based on one of our basic survival instincts.
