Japanese prostitutes offered financial assistance during coronavirus pandemic from taxpayers money
Japan offers financial assistance to sex workers, who, like other citizens of the country, are suffering from coronavirus pandemic, CNN reports.
In order to minimize the economic blow, the country allocated a stimulus package of 108 trillion Japanese yens (approximately 989 billion dollars). Sex workers also have the right to apply for help, but for this they will have to comply with certain terms and conditions that the government will announce.
However, the prostitutes themselves are skeptical.
“The government has not made it clear enough that everyone can ask for help. There are a lot of people who can die of hunger without work, ”said Mika, using a pseudonym to protect her privacy.
According to her, the requirements for financial assistance seem suspicious to many sex workers, since prostitution is officially prohibited in Japan. Mika added that the conditions for obtaining support are also not clear: in particular, many sex workers cannot prove a loss of income.
Due to the spread of coronavirus infection and the introduction of quarantine measures, Japanese prostitutes are deprived of a single source of income. They cannot find another job because no one is hiring new employees at the height of the economic crisis, CNN notes.
According to recent data, in the country more than 10.8 thousand infected with coronavirus. 238 people died, 1069 - were cured. Out of those people who are infected, 217 are either in critical or serious conditions.
After The Coronavirus, Now A New Virus Has Come In The Market - Hantavirus, Killing One Person
Even when the world is trying to find a cure for the deadly coronavirus pandemic, a new virus is threatening our society.
A report in Global Times said that a man from China's Yunnan province died from Hantavirus while on a bus to the Shandong province. Other 32 people on bus were also tested and now everyone is waiting for the results.
What is Hantavirus?
The Centre for Disease Control says that the virus is spread mainly from rodents. It goes on to say that infection with any of the hantavirus can cause hantavirus disease in people.
"Hantaviruses in the Americas are known as “New World” hantaviruses and may cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). Other hantaviruses, known as “Old World” hantaviruses, are found mostly in Europe and Asia and may cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.
It can cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS).
The disease is not airborne and can only spread to people if they come in contact with urine, feces, and saliva of rodents and less frequently by a bite from an infected host.
Symptoms of hantavirus
Early symptoms of HPS include fatigue, fever, and muscle aches, along with headaches, dizziness, chills and abdominal problems. If left untreated, it can lead to coughing and shortness of breath and can be fatal, with a mortality rate of 38 percent, according to CDC.
While the initial symptoms of HFRS too remain the same, it can cause low blood pressure, acute shock, vascular leakage, and acute kidney failure.

Makeup artist from Austria found a way to "hide" the presence of a protective mask on her face. An instructional clip appeared on her Instagram account.
In the posted frames, the girl puts foundation on a blue mask so that she becomes the same color as her skin. Then the blogger uses powder and concealer, and in the end she paints her lips with pink lipstick of the Anastasia Beverly Hills brand. She added the hashtags #corona #coronamakeup to the published video.
Earlier on March 18, users criticized the makeup artist, who came up with a medical mask for mocking the sick. Fatima Aldewan shared a six-minute video showing how to put on a mask and make a suitable make-up for her. Subscribers denounced her and expressed their displeasure in the comments.
