Japanese businesses/government/people like to use mascots for pretty much everything so it isn't surprising to find that they've trotted out a 19th century anti plague demon named Amabie who is depicted as a humanoid fish like creature. In the 19th century the creature promised to make people who saw or drew her likeness to be disease free,fast forward to the current era and she is representing hope during the Covid 19 virus in the form of puddings,beer,and doughnuts to name a few of the items all offering the image as a relief. What the heck,it's worth a try but keep wearing a mask just to be safe!
