And also during past pandemics like SARS, swine flu, others. Because Asian culture already accepts mask wearing when sick as a kind of civil courtesy and responsibility, it wasn’t a big step up for widespread mask wearing during pandemics.
- packetlost 5y agoMask wearing when you know you're sick is something I would like to see more in the West (one of the few good things that might come out of the pandemic). Regardless, I imagine there are negative psychological effects of long-term society-wide mask wearing. Just speaking for myself, I found it very depressing not being able to see people's faces outside of a small familiar and social bubble for a year and I honestly dread going back to it.
