2018, someone has a bad flu, still wants to get groceries or go to the doctor. In Japan: they'd be worried about infecting others so they would wear a mask. In USA: Even if they cared about other and could buy a mask, they'd be worried about the weird looks, so they don't wear a mask. Hopefully in 2026, assuming Covid is solved by then, people wearing masks in the US won't be looked weirdly, or even if people like you do, the sick people would think "Why should I give a shit what you think.".
