"Good Manners" Picture of the Day at Japan Today (3/13/24). Caption reads: A poster on the wall of a subway station in Tokyo asks commuters to cover their nose and mouth when they sneeze or cough.

So many people, both with and without masks, fail to cover their mouths when they cough, sneeze and yawn on the bus and train. This needs to be remedied.
