As a retired doctor of internal medicine and hematology -- and a strong advocate of the Japanese -- I have noted, while visiting from the United States, the conflicting habits of wearing a mask for a cold or respiratory illness for the safety of others, and then ignoring the potential of spreading infection by spitting on the sidewalk. In this way, tuberculosis could spread through the air as the dried sputum becomes airborne.
