Correct, and 'Eisegerwind' wanted to tell Derek that he had it wrong. 14 minutes ago, beardy said: Eisegerwind obviously gets under your skin and you are concocting some scenario where you have got the better of him. No one gets under my skin. I didn't have to concoct anything.

DonnyTJS Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Just on the use of masks in Japan. I guess it's impossible to quantify the effect, not least because there are so many other factors that come into play. I've just been out in my neighbourhood of northern Osaka. Maybe 60% of people masked; a bit above normal. As I think I mentioned days ago in the Coronavirus thread, the Japanese tend to maintain social distance as a cultural given: bowing rather than physical contact (it's public transport where they get crammed together, and a lot of people are avoiding that now - more cars on the roads); small families; a generally better approach to personal hygiene. They may also be using different criteria to numerate the data that they release, which is used by the worldometer site - I don't know. At present there's no national shutdown, shops are calm and well-stocked, spring is in the air. Common sense would suggest masks might make some beneficial difference if frequently changed, but plenty here aren't wearing them in public. I was obliged to wear masks in Hong Kong during SARS, and it's not pleasant - the must of 10.000 breaths builds up and I'm in no hurry to return to that. A disappointing 'told-you-so' thread, as beardy points out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
