First, please open this page.

Select "Influenza" or "Influenza Hospitalization" as the name of the infectious disease, check the "Compare with previous year" box, and click the "Update" button.

It is obvious that there has been no flu epidemic at This fiscal year.

We are now living in the first "hygienic" world in human history, where you can go out and find a bottle of rubbing alcohol within 20 minutes.

I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that we have completely contained the flu this year.

In this ultra-hygienic world, the number of people infected with the new corona, which is (by my estimate) 20 to 40 times more deadly than the regular flu, is not decreasing.

I mean, "What a murderous infection in a world that has the flu completely under control". I can't help but sigh.

- No clusters of customers (x employees) have been identified in pachinko parlors.

- Within the scope of regular classes (x extra-curricular sports classes), the incidence of clusters in schools is surprisingly low.

- There is no evidence of clusters on commuter trains (or maybe this is untraceable).

As a result,

Though it's obvious to everyone that the cluster is caused by droplet infection from face-to-face conversation,

I am stunned by the fact that there are still "idiots making noise and drinking in the entertainment district".

You can go to a cabaret, a bar, a maid cafe, or anywhere you want, for as long as you want.

Whether it's a year-end party or a New Year's party, you can do as much as you want.

Rather, I think many people should actively go there to support the restaurant industry.

However, "you drink and eat alone," "you don't entertain," and "you read a paperback while drinking"

As long as you follow these instructions, you should be fine.

"A restaurant can take a group of customers and seat them in different places "

No exceptions," whether it's a colleague at work, a client's entertainment, a family member, or a lover.

However, my wife, who works in a restaurant, kicked it off as "nonsense".

She told me that since restaurants are "places where people eat while enjoying conversation", such services are "the same as denying the restaurant's self".

That's right, I guess, however,

But I usually have "dinner alone at an izakaya", and if someone says "New Year's party at a discrete table", I'm more than happy to join.
