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.

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.

“If you’re sick, especially if you have a fever, STAY HOME!!!!!”

Japan has a WORKAHOLIC culture. It’s a sign of weakness if you stay home when you have work to do. That’s how they roll there..Unlike some mampy pamby Americans who call in sick from a stupid flu for DAYS. I found out at an early age that my body requires rest for less than 24 hours and I’m good. Never took a cough or cold medicine in 30 years. Just vitamins and rest.
