What is the not wearing a mask issue, I don't understand. Mind you I don't understand why people can't wear a mask properly covering both mouth and nose. Seemed that quite a few people didn't get that mask does not protect you, it protects others.
Spending time in the summer in France, there was no mask issue. Masks were even worn when leaving the home not just in buildings when it wasn't compulsory. There were times that the masks were made compulsory.
@Eseman Isn't the Asian mask wearing a cultural thing. So there will need to be a cultural change.

Indeed. It’s frowned on to be clearly sick in public and not be wearing a mask, unlike in our hemisphere where others just have to put up with it. For example, the UK FCDO’s internal guidance recently used to say that a respiratory illness alone was not sufficient grounds to not go in to work.
There is hope here because mask culture in Asia became more prevalent after swine flu and bird flu.
