Japan Today wrote about the influenza epidemic raging across Japan, uh, today, and noted that it particularly centers on Kyushu: “By prefecture, Kagoshima had the highest number of flu patients per clinic at 86.53, followed by Miyazaki at 84.97, Fukuoka at 83.99, Oita at 82.40 and Saga at 69.64. They all are in the Kyushu region located in southwestern Japan.” The article continues, “The remaining Kyushu prefecture, Kumamoto, is not on the list as its inhabitants are far too stubborn to get sick.”
(Okay, I made that last part up. It’s probably true, though. Still, take care, Kumamotoites.) Pictured below: Not a Kumamotoite. - William
