There’s been discussion here about how places like South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore dealt with the virus without having to close workplaces and other public venues, basically having life continue on but with certainly some common sense ideas in place. A story like this shows how, unfortunately, those three countries have social mores that are that likely stronger and cohesive among everyone than here in North America.

That’s true, although people in South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore control their behaviors very well with only requests from their governments. We westerners, on average, need to relearn our manners, put some aberrant factions of characters in their places and become more cohesive again.

Examples of factions of aberrant characters: the dope legalization groups, people who feed colonies of pests that defecate on neighbors’ gardens (see former group), “Florida man” and every incarnation of him in another state (see first listed group again),...

Too many spoiled rotten crazies. We need boot camps for them or something, because their mothers didn’t do it right.

It is similar to the reaction of the Japanese people after the Fukishima Nuclear plant meltdown. The Japanese people lined up, cleaned up and did so in a calm orderly fashion.

The exact same way they did after the Tsunami disaster. Compare this to the people of New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. What is the difference? The demographic makeup of the population of the area.
