Day 13 - Swine Flu comes to Tokyo and people are really freaked out about it. A college in Osaka was closed because they had one case. So... one of our students is sick this morning and needs medical attention. We tell the concierge, which sets off calls to the local health offices and we are given an appointment to see a doctor about 3 blocks from here. The concierge tells me that we should wear masks when going to the doctors office and that if the doctor determines that the student may have influenza that "we" may be quarantined at the local hospital. Luckly, the doctor thinks it is something else... I don't think anyone realizes how close we come to all being quarantined and the program coming to an end 3 weeks early.
