Discussion2 : To shut down outward and inward traffic to Appollon due to the Global Pandemic
Pepper Gruber : Against
She is an actress. She is opposed to shutting down the country for fear of losing her source of income as she has jobs abroad. She agreed with the idea of putting restrictions on the country, not shutting it down completely but when it turned out that the restrictions didn't include tourists, she changed her mind again to disagreeing with the idea.
Gon Auden : Against
He is the owner of the bar. Most of the bar's customers are tourists, and closing down the country would make it difficult for him to operate. Therefore, he is against closing the country. He also suggested that instead of shutting down the country completely, he would put restrictions on it and make sure that masks are worn, acrylic plates and disinfection are used to prevent the virus.
Anna Plowman : M
Sora Swift : For
She is a hairdresser. Since most of the customers who come to her hairdressing salon are island residents, closing down the country will have little impact on them. She fears that by not closing the country, an infectious disease will spread. She believes that the country should be closed down now while it is safe to do so.
Mia Williams(me) : For
I am a college student and a musician. I was in the U.S. before the outbreak, but decided it was not safe to stay in the U.S. and came back to my country. After seeing people and families actually dying from the effects of the infection in the US, I decided that Appollon should be closed down. The people living in Appollon have no antibodies because they have never had an infectious disease before. Therefore, we can expect a higher chance of death from infectious diseases than people in other countries. We also believe that this will help to close down the country and develop the online business, which in turn will help to develop the domestic business.
Question
Q. What does it take to shut down a country?What's the matter with you?（Alex)
A. We need money. (Gon, Pepper)
Q. How long will you shut down the country?
A. Vaccine completion is estimated to be 9 months to 2 years, so it should be closed for about a year. (Mia)
Q. Why think about this issue now when we can live safely now?
A. There is no telling when the problem of infectious diseases will continue to crop up so we need to talk about it now, at this safe stage and while it's safe now, we don't know what will happen in the future.(Mia)
We didn't come to a resolution, but I think I was able to express my views properly. It was very interesting to have a discussion in which I played a role.
This is Chipp. I can understand your opinion. It is danger that many people infect by coming tourists. However, I think Apollon is tourism island, so we can’t stop the tourism. So, I think we all take measure to protect ourselves and restrict the number of people who come in, the danger will be lesser than as you think. Your opinion is also important. Thank you, Mia.
返信削除Hi, this is Spenser. I understand your opinion and I think it is good to focus on "online business". In the future, more and more country use the online for business and. We rely on tourism industry for most of our production. This is good chance to expend our industry. Because some people worry about losing their jobs, it would be better to show them how to use online for their jobs or some effects by using them.
