Wild how westerners make these dystopian associations, while in Asia it’s just part of basic hygiene, like expecting people to wipe their ass or wash their hands.
- rayiner 5y agoWhere in Asia is everyone walking around masked unless they’re actively sick? In Tokyo you can always see a few masked people, but that’s totally different than everyone being masked.
- trainsplanes 5y agoEveryone in Japan is currently walking around masked. People here also walk around with masks during allergy season, or doing flu season even when they’re not sick. In Taiwan and Vietnam I saw (and wore) masks on days when the air was particularly dirty.
- dnzkw 5y agoJesus what a way of moving the goalposts. First you say in Asia (billions of people!) everybody has always walked around masked. Now it's only Japan and only during the pandemic.
- trainsplanes 5y agoI didn’t say always. The person specifically mentioned Tokyo and I stated the reality of how it is in Japan. The situation is the same in China. I also specifically said people wear them outside of the pandemic. I think you’re very confused because you’re angry. Calm down. :)
- rayiner 5y agoWe’re talking about everyone wearing masks indefinitely going forward. Japan was definitely not like that pre-pandemic.
