In Japan, as the H1N1 (so called Swine) flu become popular (expanded), we easily see its side effects in terms of social and behavioral matter.
-Masks are now very popular with much demand and shortage of stocks, because they are recommended to be put and changed daily. I read that WHO does not any preventional effect of masks against flu infection.
-Many social activities (meeting, concerts, group tour of school students, sports competitions and so on) are now suddenly canceled, to avoid gathering people.
-In Osaka area, many primary, jonior high and high schools are closed. It was bit funny to read a small news reporting that Karaoke room became popular in the students to kill time.
-Travels are recommended to be cancelled if not essential.
It is even interesting who made a large profit by this flu incidence.
