自粛する、という基本的な行動はどこにいたって変わらないし、アメリカではもう既に医療崩壊が起きてるし、これからどんどんひどくなるとしか思えない(勿論個人的な意見です) それに大使館というのは政治的な機関でもあるから、それを忘れちゃいけない。

So, this is the re-do of a thread about some amazing posters from 1922, issued by the Japanese government to educate the public about influenza! This thread is a followup to this one: twitter.com/makiwi/status/…
