Let’s come back and talk once their combined cases reach higher than the US’s. Also I think worth noting that South Korea has better testing infrastructure, so their number is likely to be fairly accurate, while the number for the US is likely under-reported.
Hong Kong’s number already seems to be dropping off.
- glofish 5y agoIf you care about current assesments read this (published March 7, 2022): Unravelling the Role of the Mandatory Use of Face Covering Masks for the Control of SARS-CoV-2 in Schools: A Quasi-Experimental Study Nested in a Population-Based Cohort in Catalonia (Spain) https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4046809 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4046809 FCM = Face Covering Mandates > Interpretation: FCM mandates in schools were not associated with lower SARS-CoV-2 incidence or transmission, suggesting that this intervention was not effective. Instead, age-dependency was the most important factor in explaining the transmission risk for children attending school.
- d1sxeyes 5y agoThank you for sharing this. It is definitely very interesting and worthy of further study - especially given what we know already about how children and adults differ in response to COVID. I'd imagine we'll start to see more of these studies in the near future.
