It's the middle of the week already and the only extra masks I'm seeing are on service industry employees–convenience store cashiers and people working in restaurants mostly. I was expecting to see a repeat of what it was like in Osaka a few weeks ago where it looked like 9 out of 10 people were wearing a mask, widespread school closings, etc. Frankly, I'm disappointed. I enjoy seeing people overreact. Schnozzlefreud, or whatever it's called.
Update: Schadenfreude.

Yeah. Huge letdown:
Where's my week of special "flu panic" vacation, damn it!

I come to your blog every once and a while and hope to see a new entry. I remember when you first did podcasts and I still enjoy reading about the interesting things you have to say. I regret not writing on here as much though… I also regret not makig an attempt to say "Hey let's hang out!" when I was living in Japan.
Anyway, hope to read something new and interesting from you : )
