February
It had been warm for days at early January, made us comfortable, but after that cold wave hit in Japan suddenly. Our Shizuoka is known as easy to live in, but it was snow in mountain area and temperature was down around 0 degree. Many forest fires by strong wind and dried air were widespread and many fires happened often at cities. The cause of the wildfire has many sauces but careless handling fire is human-caused, and we have to careful about.
Influenza spreading will be continuing for long. It’s changing from type A to type B and can’t see the end. Epidemic of COVID-19 is still continues.
Infectious gastroenteritis patients are gaining. Amount of bacterial gastroenteritis patient is more than of norovirus. A cold air of the season has an effect on intestinal movement, it’s a good idea to get hot drink in a morning.
Half the usual number of people got the influenza vaccine this year. We think it’s about time to request public funding for the influenza vaccine in Japan, because, from a public health perspective, developed countries around the world provide that already. We would like to preventive measures to be implemented as part of crisis management before some crises occurs.
Exam season starts from now and traffic of human will be crowded. Take good utrition and rest to avoid physical exhaustion by dried and chilly air.
