From yesterday, I had time to do something like playing piano. Normally, I don’t have time to play piano because of my routine. First, when I heard that the SH government said to not start work one week after the holiday, we felt excited at first. After that, we were worried that something bad is going on. For the bigger companies, they have the cash flow to stop the things for a time. But, for the small companies, it is a very big hit on their business. I think we will impact a lot even when we go through the virus situation, after that we will have the impact. Our company is a pharmaceutical company. For example, people in SH will avoid going to hospitals for injections. If we assume that the virus will be controlled by quarter one end, less people will need drugs.

From yesterday, I had time to do something else like playing the piano. Normally, I don’t have time to play the piano because of my work schedule. When I first heard that the SH government decided to delay the work commencement date to one week after the holiday, I was excited at first. After that, I was worried that something bad is going on/taking place. For bigger companies, they have the cash flow to stop operating/generating revenue for some time. But, for the smaller companies, it is a big blow to their business. I think we will be greatly/severely impacted even after going through the virus situation. After that, we will face some negative consequences. Our company is a pharmaceutical company. For example, people in SH will avoid going to hospitals for injections. If we assume that the virus will be controlled by the end of the first quarter one end, fewer people will need drugs.
