I have also a cat whom I rescued as a small kitten from the street. I think the work these two English teachers do is really valuable.

Yeah, I gave up trying make-up at the cosmetics counter even before this.

I think you had 6 swine flu-related deaths in the U.S.
Sebaschan: I read somewhere than laughter boosts the immune system. You should be thankful to me.
Don't Japanese school kids clean their own school, including the toilets? While I think cleaning your school should be adopted to the West as well, cleaning school toilets is a professional's job. Kids can't do it properly, plus they don't know how to do it so that they don't expose themselves to bacteria and stuff.

GW: If you can't remember how your home country's public toilets are, shouldn't you refrain from using sentences like "the locals can't be trusted..", and write instead "people generally can't be trusted"?
In EU, the nation buying the least amount of soap per person are the French. There was some consumer survey on household product buying.

GW: Maybe I'll take an ice hockey stick and wave that to keep folks 6 feet away from me...
Can they be trusted anywhere? In a certain North European country they had to take the hand disinfectants away from hospital public toilets, as the winos would drink it. This thing then surged up with this swine flu, as people started wondering why there was no hand disinfectant in hospital toilets.
How are the public toilets in your native countries? For ex. station ones?

Here is some info on the alcohol-based disinfectants and their use with bacteria and viruses. Seems to offer some safety, if properly used.

The Tokyo person returned yesterday from U.S. No connection to the Osaka cases.
I think in Japan it spreads faster than in Spain or UK, as in those two countries most cases are on travelers returning from Mexico, whereas here it is an inside the country -epidemic.

It is good that Japanese are cancelling foreign trips, so as not to pass the virus to some new country.

I was at the club (advertized above this discussion) yesterday, and no disenfectant in sight, no directions on handwashing in the dressing room or toilet. There was a small A4 on the notice board about the influenza, that is all. There was a 1 meter poster on fight on cellulite - as if cellulite was my biggest concern now.

smithinjapan: Contrary to what you claim, not all schools in Japan are closed, only schools in Kobe, Osaka and Hyogo prefecture, plus some voluntary closings of Kyoto schools. And they did close elementary schools too in the infected areas - yesterday they interviewed several mothers on TV, who had elementary school kids staying at home, one mother saying she has problems of finding somebody to take care of her kids when she goes to work etc. So why did you invent the claim that in Osaka/Kobe/Ibaraki they did not close down elementary schools?
Masuzoe just said on TV to an Osaka politician that you should keep your youth home and not running around America mura.

bamboohat: All the Japanese-language reporting that I saw talked about the 4 first cases having been in Canada. Maybe the gaijin who does the translating is to blame?

Nakai is the worst singer and a bad actor as well. Kusanagi at least took the trouble of learning Korean, even if it was in order to gain fandom in Korea.

I think the virus is already here in Tokyo - how could it not be, if scientists say that this virus has been in the Kansai region perhaps for weeks? It is just a matter of time, that some doctor starts suspecting, now that they know that domestic infection is possible, sends a patient's virus sample to the lab, and bingo.
