- fma 7y agoIt's common in China for food handlers including waitresses) to wear masks, and or a face shield. I know China doesn't have their act together on many areas of health and sanitation. But we should adopt good practices and remove the stigma in the US that mask = bad.
- outlace 7y agoAgreed. I think hand hygiene in the west is probably better (I’ve never seen anyone use hand sanitizer in China, and saw more people leaving the restroom without washing their hands - anecdotal) but China is definitely better about respiratory precautions. And certainly China acted much quicker than most western countries have in slowing the spread. From in-law family I have in China, there also were no food or home food shortages like there are in many western countries now for unclear reasons. Unclear if there is just lack of hoarding behavior or if the stores and/or government immediately restricted panic buying.
