[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If masks were the be all end all Hong Kong would not be in the state it is right now.  China is learning the hard way that a crappy vaccine plus masks aren’t good enough.[/quote]

If masks work, why don't they work?

Vietnam is currently reporting what would be the equivalent of 675,000 US cases (population adjusted).

South Korea, with 99% mask compliance, equivalent of 1.75 million cases in the US.

Thailand.

Scotland.

Austria and Germany, who have N95 and surgical indoor mask mandates.

New Zealand, 315,000% increase in covid since their mask mandate in August.

Which vaccine(s) did the South Koreans get? The trends in China are somewhat understandable right now.  Korea seems to be having relatively lower deaths even though it has a lot of cases.[/quote]

I believe they’re mostly getting Pfizer and AZ. Typical of most of the rest of the non-US world that didn’t cut corners with the cheap Russian/Chinese vaccines.

The Omicron surge comes for all of us eventually. The only question is, is a country’s population vaccinated enough with good vaccines or young enough to avoid huge numbers of deaths? [/quote]
