I think there is perhaps a fundamental difference in between how Asians and many Americans, see face masks.
In Asia, they were instantly adopted, with a degree of government enforcement yes, by most every country.
With some success.
America has been different.
Different cultures. However a big part of the differences, may be that Asians, are 100% familiar with face masks. They have face masks, and had them already. They were INSTANTLY on everyone’s face.
Literally, all most needed to do, is pull one out of their pocket.
America does not use masks this way. At all. Heck, we didn’t even have them around, originally. MANY were sold and shipped to China by Chinese, where they were, mostly originally made.
America just did not use masks. Did not even have ACCESS to them, for some time.
So it is not easy to make comparisons.
There used to be.
Not any more.
In five short months, we have adopted (and perhaps even exceeded) the ChiCom mask tyranny.
