Flu this season, vaccination, and Halloween


If a doctor say that you have flu (either type A or B,) you can NOT go to school because of School Health and Safety Act (gakkou hoken anzen hou 学校保健安全法).
  
If you have flu, you cannot go to school 5 days after the day you started having fever (6 days including the day you have fever.)
  
OR
  
You cannot go to school 2 days after you don't have fever any more.
  
What the doctor can do for your flu is the symptomatic treatment. Which is - If you have fever, the doctor gives you the medicine for reducing fever. If you have body ache, the doctor gives you the pain killer for your body. So on. Basically, flu will be gone at some point if you have proper meals and sleep.
It's OK for your body to have fever because it means you body is killing virus by your body heat. And it's OK for you to have diarrhea and/or vomiting because your body is trying to get rid of the toxic out from your body. If it gets too much, then you would need to take the medicines.
  
Also, you could ask the doctor "Tamiflu" that blocks virus in your body.

Yet, because of the side effects and because you are not with your family, I don't recommend Tamiflu.

At one clinic, I saw this sign. It says "There was the first flu originated report for this season between October 17th and October 23rd (42 weeks) in Miyako health center's jurisdiction. The epidemic can be spreading later this season. As a precaution, vaccination before the epidemic, hand washing in running water with soap, and wearing mask are effective."
I just had the vaccination this morning.
It costed me 3,800 yen. The cost for vaccination is different for each clinic, but usually it's 3,000 - 4,000 yen.
You could get flu couple times in the same season because there are different type of flu. So, if you are interested in taking a vaccination, I can take you Saturday morning. So, please let me know. Thanks!

I got banned from facebook AGAIN for a week.

Facebook banned me of posting and sharing on timeline, sending messages, and like button for any post for a week.  Right now, what I can do on facebook is only to login.            I asked what I did wrong to get banned to the help desk, but they have not replied me anything yet.    What I did right before I had got banned was re-activating one of my pages about discussing the differences between the facts and the fake news on fake medias.        Well, these are my new pages:    Please give your "like" on my pages.  You will be receiving tons of update (since those pages are updated by bots) from the pages, but you can hide them too.      

Blogs and AdSense (2)

Blogs and AdSense http://itoshunsuke.blogspot.jp/2015/07/blogs-and-adsense.html     When I see my Adsense page today, I see some numbers!! *Yay* Last time I open this page after years about 10 days ago, I found that I had made only 78 yen, and other numbers on the list were zero yen. But now, I see "+224 yen!!" This is GOOD. I will donate whatever I make from my blogs to the city of Miyako. Then, hopefully the city of Miyako will let people know by saying "The blogger, Ito Shunsuke, from Miyako has donated 10,000 yen!!" on city paper. So, I will get more traffic, and it will make even more money. Then, I probably can donate 100,000 yen next year, and 1,000,000 yen for the following year, so on. When it reach to 10,000,000 yen, I will say       *LOL*

Portals in Miyako (1)

By playing INGRESS, the smartphone game, sometime it takes me to the places of cultural significance, such as public art, landmarks, monuments, etc. where I have never been or seen even in Miyako, my hometown.      I have been taking some pictures of those portals, so I would like to introduce them briefly with map link.  Some of them are not registered as the portals yet, but I had sent the request to INGRESS when I took the pictures. 1. Suidou Kouen (Water Line Park) [Portal Requesting Now] Map:  https://goo.gl/maps/jAZRP This park had opened in June 4th in 1993. You can walk not only behind the water fall, but also in the water with bear foot. So, it's nice place to "chill out" literally. 2. Suijin-hi (Stele of the Water God) [Portal] Map:  https://goo.gl/maps/jAZRP Next to the Suidou Kouen (Water Line Park,) there is Miyako Water Line Management Office.  When this Office opened, they made this stele.   In front of thi...
