Influenza Week continues...

These are my friends from the Brass band in Kobe. Tuesday night, everyone was wearing a mask. It is the same everywhere now. About 80% of the population, still wearing masks.

In the meantime, the flu cases in Kobe and Osaka are around 280 and seems to stay that way. It didn't grow exponentially. I guess my "forced" holiday from school will be over soon.

Tonight i went to the movie theater to watch the last movie of Dan Brown "Angels and Demons" the sequel of the Da Vinci Code. At the ticket office, all personnel was wearing masks. At the food counter there was a bottle of gel to disinfect your hands; the same in the toilets.

Coming home after the movie (at around 9.30 PM) on the train i took the following picture that should give you an idea about the current usage of masks...
