00分、30分｜00 minutes, 30 minutes

無料のPCR検査に行った。早めに店舗に着いたので、人の流れを見ていると興味深い。毎時00分を目指して人が集まり始め、徐々に待つ人の列ができる。列は20人くらいまでになるが、10分くらいで解消。15分位には誰もいなくなる。受付の人も手持ち無沙汰だ。その状態が25分まで続き、今度は30分の回を目指して列ができ始める。検査は事前のインターネットによる完全予約制なのだが、30分おきではなく、5分刻みで予約できる。とはいえ00分と30分の回に予約する人が多いようだ。ちょっと人と意識を変えるだけで待ち列も変わる。多くの人との意識のズレを意識しよう。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）

I went for the free PCR test. I arrived at the store early, so it was interesting to watch the flow of people. People start gathering for 00 minutes every hour, and gradually there is a line of people waiting. The line gets to about 20 people, but it dissipates after about 10 minutes, and by about 15 minutes there is no one left. No one is waiting until 25 minutes, and then the line begins to form for the 30-minute session. The examinations are done by appointment only, but appointments can be made in 5-minute increments, not every 30 minutes. However, it seems that many people make reservations for the 00-minute and 30-minute sessions. Just a little change in people and their awareness can change the waiting line. Let's be aware of the gap in awareness with many people. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
