I’ve been in Japan probably 3 times the past 2 years. My Stanford frat mate teaches English there at a local gakuen’ (high school) and he’s probably the only white dude in the area. He also translates for the US Embassy on occasion.

Tells me people who wear masks are the ones who HAVE a fever, and Japanese practice is to cover up as a COURTESY to others.

That makes sense...my limited knowledge of Japan suggests,among other things,that it’s a very courteous,polite,society.

If you're sick, especially if you have a fever, STAY HOME!!!!!

THAT one bit of courtesy would do more to slow the spread of disease than anything else.
