I will be in Japan exactly one month from today and hopefully by then the H1N1 flu will subside. Well, actually it has subsided in the U.S. but some how the news travels v e r y s l o w to other parts of the world. I've read articles about the procedures that are occurring at the Japanese airports (specifically in the plane right after you land). I guess the nurses and doctors go around taking thermal images of the passenger's faces then have everyone fill out a questionnaire regarding sickness or encounter with any sickness. And supposedly the process will take about an hour.
Sam will be leaving on Sunday and the University where he will be doing his studies notified him. They asked him to either re-book his flight for the end of the month or come as planned but he will have to be quarantined for 7 days in their off-site campus housing. If he goes as planned he would have to maintain a low profile during this time i.e. no sightseeing. Yes, he decided to depart on Sunday and endure the 7 days of doing nothing. Would you say they might be overreacting? It's kind of hilarious and I'm sure it will be an experience to laugh about years to come. Did I mention you get a certification for clearance.
