You don't hear news that Asian countries (commie bastards excluded), where mask wearing is not an issue, are having problems. Basically, we don't have the will to contain it because we are snowflakes.
Not sure this is accurate. Due to a recent spike, South Korea just implemented stricter guidelines which are reminiscent of the ones I’ve seen Chicagoans adhering to very faithfully throughout the summer and fall.
Japan decided early on to “live with the virus” and therefore has pretty limited testing data compared to most other countries. They have ramped testing up and are seeing a spike in cases that mirrors most of the rest of the northern hemisphere.
We don’t know what’s actually going on in China. Hell, we don’t really know what is going on other than whatever version of the truth the media and internet tells us. I wear a mask and am a huge germophobe and I ended up with it. If not for very mild symptoms I wouldn’t even have known to go get tested and isolate.
I’d love to know how many people in the US have actually had it because I’m sure it must dwarf the official tally based on testing.
