As society is surrounded by uneasy air due to the corona, news of "explosion notices" continues in various places, and public institutions and facilities that have received the notices are busy responding.Therefore, Spectee Inc., which uses AI (artificial intelligence) to analyze SNS information and distribute and visualize information related to crisis management, graphs the "explosion notice" that has been aware of the information in the past year. By doing so, I visualized the trends and tried to analyze what was behind them.

 As a result of analysis based on the AI ​​real-time crisis management service "Spectee Pro", the number of bombing notices for one year from October 2019, 10 to September 1, 2020 was 9. Until May 30, there were less than 1 cases per month, but the number increased sharply after June, with 176 cases in June, 2020 cases in July, 5 cases in August, and 10 cases in September.The most common bomb threats were "educational institutions" with a total of 6 cases, of which about 12% were "universities".

 By prefecture, the number of Osaka prefecture, which had 13 cases including 17 cases for educational institutions, seems to be a little outstanding, but looking at the number of bomb threats per million people, Osaka prefecture is ranked 100th. ..The result was that Shimane Prefecture, which had a relatively small population but had six notices, had the largest number.
* The number is the number of awareness cases based on SNS analysis, and there is a slight difference from the actual number of cases that occurred in each prefecture, such as those that have not been posted on SNS.

 Spectee Inc. analyzed that the reason why the bomb threats have increased sharply since around June is that the stress caused by the new coronavirus may have some effect.In particular, the background to the aim of the university is that although elementary, junior high and high schools have resumed school attendance in stages since the cancellation of the state of emergency on May 6, the university may have continued online classes. I expected.
