Kobe Influenza Outbreak

Well, lately I've been really sick well luckily I don't have it so knock on wood. But walking around the Kobe area the streets are empty and it's full of people wearing masks. I just went out to today to get lunch today and to the supermarket to get a couple of more masks and orange juice. Since I'm sick I'm still a little bit susceptiable to getting influenza but I'm grateful I haven't recieved it yet. I haven't been to any crowded areas recently and I do feel secure everytime I walk around with a mask on but I've also been staying in my area too. I have not been taking the trains to go anywhere. Schools have been cancelled for a week and the attitude is vacation and lets go out. Sure it is not a big deal. But one must always be careful because you never knew who has it and who can catch it. Even though, it's rare it's still a scary thought for on that that might catch it. The general attitude of this whole thing is who cares I'm still going out the media is blowing it out of proportion. But I noticed that the kids, moms, and elderly people are mostly wearing masks due to precaution and hopefully not getting it. Thankfully, I am recovering and I've been drinking a lot of orange juice and lemon tea so back off virus I'm fighting back with vitamin c! Well I will keep yah posted peace!!
