Sick People Riding Trains Are Scary
A clip from the scare-mongering TV Asahi program Jekyll & Hyde lets us know just how far one sick person’s cough can travel inside a train car:
The program’s conclusion: when a deadly new strain of influenza reaches Japan, thousands will die.

wow, this is one of the funniest Japanese TV shows I have seen in a while, it’s like Real Life meets Fear Factor meets CSI. How scientific of them to assume any type of glowing particulate was something originating from the mannequin’s ‘cough’. Anyone can tell you, there’s no such thing as dust on a train

I don’t think aynone has ever been harmed, let alone killed by cell phone emissions, yet the train companies want to ban them. Not a peep about manners for not spreading disease.
They should ban assholes who don’t even cover their mouths when they start hacking up a lung. Thousands of people ARE killed by the flu and such sickness each year even in civilized nations. If a flu epidemic hits Japan, I won’t be riding any trains.
I try to reassure myself that many of those people, who tend to be stupid oyaji-types,are just dying of lung cancer, and thus not a threat to me.

Covering your mouth is a poor deterrent against incredibly small airborne germs. Works on spit though

incredibly small airborne germsの多くはspit の表面に付着してはき出されるので、Covering your mouthはけっこう効果があるそうです。
また、Covering your mouthには同時に病気であることを告知する機能もあるので、試験前など「どうしても感染したくない人」にとってはむやみに近づかないなど対策をとることができます。

There is nothing worse than someone who does not cover their mouths when coughing/sneezing.

Ugh, thats why I hate public transport.
Yet they make it so hard to not use it by limiting parking spaces and pedestrianising everywhere. Fair enough, everyone needs to cough or sneeze but it is not pleasant for the unlucky soul sat next to the one with the flu
