Coronavirus has drastically changed our society. And I saw many new English terms such as cluster, overshooting, and social distance in the media. Also, I want to know how to express some Japanese terms related to the coronavirus in English. So I will make sure such terms in English as follows. (H.S)
*virus: its pronunciation in Japanese [wilus]is
from Latin
*vaccine: its pronunciation in Japanese [wakchin]
is from German
*pandemic: the accent is on [de] but I
sometimes hear the accent is on [pan] on Japanese TV
*positive
*negative
*quarantine
*pneumonia
*ventilator
*PPE (personal protective equipment)
*essential workers
*lift
*second wave
*herd immunity
*new normal
