Greed, Panic and Fear After Japan Market Crash

Is the caption above missing something, I don't know, anything? Like maybe, perhaps why is the dude walking around wearing a doctor's mask? Was the stock market crash in Japan so bad that people have to walk around wearing masks? Is this the way the Japanese walk around normally? Does this have anything to do with the Bird Flu? So many questions that the caption doesn't address.
