There is infection spreading in a Tokyo high school, and still I seem to be the only woman at my fitness club who washes hands WITH SOAP after using the loo.

Japan does not respect architecture at all. The nostalgic post-war buildings of Omotesando, with listeria on the walls, and a horribly ugly mall was built instead. I am surprised to read above that it is actually designed by somebody. In the U.S. they at least have the decency to put…

Disillusioned: A Swiss company has managed to create a vaccine. It is cell-based, though, and Japanese health administration currently only approves egg-raised vaccines, which take 6 moths to manufacture. So if they start manufacturing in July, the first vaccines will be available by New Year, and a Canadian scientist says,…

WMD: Exactly. Now would be the time for Japanese companies to think which is better: 1) to continue with the ganbare spirit of sick people fighting their way to the office with the help of Hayame no Pavuron, and infecting everybody, or 2) clearly state that anybody with flu symptoms…

outofmydepth: But Japanese gov. has been saying exactly the same as WHO or CDC - at least Masuzoe has. As has NHK. I don't know what media you follow, though.

A Swiss drug factory has today managed to produce the vaccination. So at least in the EU we are saved.…
