When I asked my daughter (who at the time had been working in Japan for the past<br \/>\nfew years) what this was all about, she explained this as another manifestation of what it means to be Japanese \u2013 to care more about the society and the community one lives in rather than one\u2019s own self.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5123580823957590\" data-ad-slot=\"7875984934\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Why these people were wearing masks, she explained, was because they had some<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">respiratory infection \u2013 a cough, a cold or even just a runny nose. Wearing a mask was a precaution <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">to avoid passing their germs on to others. People wore masks not so much to protect themselves but <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">to protect the folk around them from the germs they might be carrying.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">We often forget that when we sneeze, cough or even just speak to others, we are spraying<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">innumerable droplets of moisture from our mouth and throat into the air around us. I recall how <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">when we were at College we had a wicked nickname for one of our teachers \u2013 he was called <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cAerosol\u201d because we could see the spray coming out of his mouth when he was talking, especially <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">when he got excited! But it was not just him &#8211; ALL of us spray invisible droplets from our mouths <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">and throats. If these droplets contain infective germs, then anybody within \u201ccatching\u201d distance of <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">our spray can be infected by our droplets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">So all this business of wearing masks during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic is a good<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">thing because it protects those around us. The Corona virus \u2013 just like the common cold virus \u2013 is <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">contagious, and any of us could be harbouring the virus in our throats without showing any signs of <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">disease.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">How many times have we had colleagues coming to work, sniffling and sneezing and <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">blowing their noses, when they should have been staying at home and resting? If they don\u2019t want to<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">take a day of sick leave and confine their germs to their own homes, then they should only come to <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">work if they wear a mask to prevent themselves giving their germs to those with whom they get <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">close to on the bus, the tram, the train or the workplace.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Wearing a mask these days is not a sign of weakness or having your freedom suppressed or<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cliving in fear of the virus\u201d. It is a sign that you are educated and informed enough to know that you <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">could be showing no symptoms and still be harbouring the virus that you can pass on to others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Wearing a mask during these COVID-19 times (and hopefully when we return to \u201cnormal\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">times, even if you are having a cough or cold or upper respiratory infection) is a sign that you are <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">being considerate to others, that you have in mind the safety of others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Just as in Japan, our ethos should be to consider the welfare of those around us even if we<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">find masks uncomfortable \u2013 or think they make us look strange!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-48205 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Sanjiva-Wijesinha.png\" alt=\"Sanjiva Wijesinha\" width=\"66\" height=\"88\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Sanjiva Wijesinha (STCML 1956-1967) is an associate professor at the Faculty of<br \/>\nMedicine, Monash University, Melbourne.<br \/>\nMore health articles may be found on his webpage at sanjivawijesinha.com<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TO MASK OR UNMASK &#8211; By By Dr. Sanjiva Wijesinha SOURCE:Thomiana July 2020 \u2013 S.Thomas\u2019 OBA VIC \u2013 Newsletter The first time I visited Japan, I was surprised to see so many people wearing facemasks, of a type similar to what I used to wear when working as a surgeon in the operating theatre.
