　The third wave of Covid-19 is finally reaching its peak with the arrival of winter.
Our class reunion “Ikoi-kai” decided not to have all the events with many members in this
winter season in consideration of the current serious Covid-19.

　Therefore, New Year Party in January was also cancelled.
However, only the annual event forecasting the news that may occure in the year is held
again this year.

　The result of the last year's News forecasts(Diary.965) will be announced soon after
review of the independent commission.

　I had difficulties in forecast about Covid-19.
Considering that vaccination against Covid-19 will be carried out from the beginning of
March, I judged that Covid-19 will move toward an end and so the Tokyo Olympic Games
will be held.
But if the more infectious variant of Covid-19 than those found in England and South
Africa appears again, I don't know how they will turn out.

　Anyway, I just hope that New Year Party will be held next year and we will have an
opportunity to hear a report about the result of the forecast there.
