As of Today...2023/03/13

I reckon around 80 percent of people I came across wore their mask when I was doing my routine grocery shopping this morning. Alcoholic disinfectants were still everywhere. At least in this corner of Fukuoka, the locals seemed to remain alert even though the unsaid pressure to wear a mask has been shifted to an unsaid pressure to remove a mask. 
By the way, I heard this "freedom from the mask" campaign was pushed by the Prime Minister in preparation for the G7 summit, but do we really have such an idiot at the top of the state? 

今日の午前中買い物にいったときには、大体8割ぐらいの人がマスクを着けていた感じでした。アルコール消毒剤もあちこちにありました。マスク着用→マスク外せ、と暗黙の圧迫の内容は変わってきましたが、少なくともこの辺ではまだ皆さん用心しているようです。
今回のマスク自由化は、総理がG7用に推し進めているらしい、というのをどこかで聞いたような気がするのですが、そんな人が本当に我が国の総理大臣なのでしょうか?まさかねえ。
