[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Masks aren't a big deal.  Stupid politics; they're a cultural norm in Asia.[/quote]

They most certainly are not. Please stop with this orientalist BS. Asians wear masks in public because of the terrible air pollution, or if they have to ride public transit with active cold/flu symptoms. Please stop with this nonsense that asymptomatic people in Asian mask indoors 24/7 all winter.[/quote]

PP didn't say that Asians mask indoors 24/7. For example, I could say that mittens are a cultural norm in Canada.  That doesn't mean Canadians wear them constantly, it means they don't have tantrums at the suggestion that there are times and places to wear them.  Cultural norms in certain Asian countries absolutely include wearing masks in certain times and places.  Now, schools during pandemics is one of those times and places.   The fact that they were already used to them in other situations has probably meant that there was less pushback. [/quote]
