My roommate works for a translation company, the other day two strange men came strolling into her office. They were dressed in uniforms and entered saying "everyone stay seated and don't move". The younger man pulled something from his pocket and pressed it against my friend's temple. A momentary fear griped her as the man pressed a button on the object pointed at her head. "37" the man said curtly to his associate, before moving on to her next work mate. It took my friend a second to realize they were taking every one's temperature to check for H1N1.
I had a similar experience last week just trying to go into a book store. It seems like all over the city people are scared of the spread of the virus. If a class have five students report being sick, the rest get the week off as well. My winter cough has set in, but I am scared to cough anywhere outside for fear that someone will lock me up in isolation for a week.

Just wear your purple heart print face mask when you go out...then, if you cough, nobody will mind :)
This is such déjà vu, knowing what I know now. You literally could say the same thing in 2021. Even in 2023 you get looks if you cough or sneeze in an enclosed area like a restaurant or a store. I think just stoped the mandatory wearing of mask on the bus here. So it’s your choice mask on or mask off.
