It would seem that the Japanese side of the Gaynor-Takahashi family is quite susceptible to influenza type-A. Cian was diagnosed with it on Wednesday, so the house now resounds to his and Sanae's coughs, sneezes, feverish groans, and heart rendering pleas to "end this terrible calumny". Both the World Health Organisation and the Centre for Disease Prevention and Control have established field camps here in Tenjin-cho, but they fear the disease may already be out of hand.
Unless your Irish.
The flu in this part of the world seems to follow the same design fundamentals as Japanese car manufacturers (Mazda, of course, being the honourable exception): exceptionally well crafted, well engineered, but made only for physiologically diminutive natives. Robust, hairy chested foreign barbarians don't bathe often enough and so have, in their filth and squalor, developed immunity to local, rice fuelled viruses.
