[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8377477, member: 22779"] Well, got my second shot today. No pain at all this time. It's been about 5 hours. Seems good. Noticed something really, really weird. Watched the Lochdown Grand Tour episode last night. They were touring Scotland (SOOOO want to go). But, then it hit me how this was so different from Japanese TV. No masks. The presenters were never shown wearing masks. On all Japanese TV shows that are in the Reality TV vein, all news shows, anything other than straight up dramas, EVERYONE wears a mask 100% of the time. Every news presenter, every talking head, everyone. It was such a weird thing for me to watch TV like this, since I don't usually watch a lot of reality TV type stuff. I mostly watch dramas, so, fine. But, seeing presenters without face shields is just weird. Then I noticed it on that other show I watch on Netflix here - Car Masters Rust to Riches - that show where they take old clunkers and turn them into really cool cars. I thought I was watching something filmed a few years ago - not unusual here, since stuff can take a while to make it to Japanese Netflix. But, then they started talking about how Covid was affecting their plan to take a car to auction. And I realized, that the whole season, they were meeting with clients, working together, everything and not a mask in sight. You guys are weird. :D [/QUOTE]
