They're senior and respected men in Japanese academia.
Professor Emeritus Masanori Fukushima of Kyoto University
Professor Yasufumi Murakami from Tokyo University of Science
Professor Masayasu Inoue, Emeritus Professor at Osaka City University School of Medicine
'Professor emeritus is a title for retired

There's not much more to say on COVID for the moment until events unfold. The idea that we're going to have another pandemic on its heels is a worrying sign. It was decades since the last respiratory pandemic -
the Hong Kong Flu - and now we're supposed to expect one to closely follow the Wuhan Virus?
There's talk of a World at War. If we do see this Disease X turn up then the most reasonable explanation is that there's biological warfare component to it. Anyway, the words out - hopefully it will come to naught. There's little use at worrying people who got caught up in it other than to caution them about jumping headfirst into it again.
