(508) Riddles about Three C's

  One of the key measures against COVIT-19 is to prevent occurrence of clusters. So it is very important to avoid "three C's" in daily life. The risk of occurrence of clusters is particularly high when the "Three C's" overlap.

1st C: Closed spaces with poor ventilation (密閉空間)
2nd C: Crowded places with many people nearby (密集場所)
3rd C: Close-contact settings such as close-range conversations (密接場所)

1st C: Closed spaces with poor ventilation
Be careful to choose a room to use.

Can you guess what room has no walls, floor, ceiling, or windows?

A mushroom.

ceiling [síːlɪŋ] 天井、上限

2nd C: Crowded places with many people nearby (密集場所)
Let me think of "number of people".

If two is company and three is a crowd, what are four and five?

--------------------------------------------------------
Nine.

ことわざ　Two's company, three's none [a crowd]
二人はよい連れ、三人は仲間割れ。
--------------------------------------------------------

3rd C: Close-contact settings such as close-range conversations (密接場所)
A doctor and a patient is one of close-contact settings. In this case an apple really works.

If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, what does a garlic do?

---------------------------------------------------
It keeps everyone away.

一日一個のリンゴ、医者いらず。ではニンニクは？
