Hey, not sure if you will see this but it was the only way I could respond to your message in the other thread about mandatory masks, since the original thread got locked.
First, I want to apologize for not originally linking my sources, that was a rookie mistake and I know better.
Typically, Influenza and pneumonia ranks in the top three of Japan’s cause of death, while in the USA it’s usually in the top ten.
Finally, in regards to what you said, “...do you actually think all or even most Japanese people wear masks around in normatimes? It's a tiny percentage at any one time.” No I do not believe all or even most everyone in Japan wears masks during normal times, but I do believe they wear them much more often then the citizens of the USA. I was mainly responding to another person who said that, “...preliminary and anecdotal data from countries like Japan and Korea has shown that their existing mask culture has helped in their fight against the disease.” I disagreed with that individual on what they said, and I am now showing my reasons why I disagreed with them to you. I hope I have helped you understand my point. These are just interesting facts that help me to believe that mask wearing doesn’t do much to prevent the spread of airborne illnesses such as influenza and pneumonia. I hope and pray you see this message, God bless!
Hold on, is sending COVID-19 patients to nursing homes, the location with our most vulnerable population, competent leadership? Because that’s what Whitmer did, and I believe that’s the complete opposite of competent leadership.
I don’t think Japan’s mask wearing culture actually does anything to slow the spread of airborne viruses. Last I checked, pneumonia and a lot of influenzas are spread in the same manner as COVID-19. However, Japan has significantly more Influenza and pneumonia deaths on a year to year basis as compared to the United States. Which makes it really weird why they have so few COVID-19 deaths and positive cases. Maybe the game is rigged? Or maybe Japan isn’t as liberal with how they are counting their cases and deaths?
