Chinese people have been rocking masks since that last sars outbreak of theirs in 2003. Probably get past it at some point but not in our lifetimes is my guess :manny:
I thought it was because of all the damn smog there

I think he's right but I didn't even realize it. I would see Chinese people in the airports and shyt with those damn masks on all the time and never really connected it to that SARS outbreak, I thought they were just paranoid about germs in general.

We need someone who actually spent time in Asia pre-2003 to come in and tell us if this is a new thing or they were always like that.

Glad I got my first shot already.

I can only imagine how this is gonna cause more frenzy.

What's gonna be wld to me is ppl who will be walking around coughing out of control with no mask and thinking it's okay.

That was the status quo until last yr :scust:

Y'all black ass can listen to them conservative Quacks if you want to :francis:
Exactly they have enough vaccines to hit all the small republican strong hold towns and the urban areas still haven’t been able to vaccinate all their people.


Black people need these shots. These idiots in these thread pushing these dangerous right wing talking points should be banned:pacspit:

Not Just Coronavirus: Asians Have Worn Face Masks for Decades

Masks became a regular part of the street scene in parts of Asia after the deadly severe outbreak of acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) that started in China in 2002 before spreading to Singapore and Taiwan over the following year. Today manufacturers in East Asia are pumping out 10 to 20 million units per month.

The SARS outbreak was a “turning point,” for Asia, said Chen Yih-chun, director of the National Taiwan University Hospital Center for Infection Control in Taipei. Before that, she said, Taiwanese saw masks as a stigma marking them as severely ill.

“Why we always mention the SARS matter is because during SARS and before that to wear a mask was impossible and patients didn’t want to cooperate,” Chen said.

But Japanese had worn them even in the 1950s as a safeguard against rising air pollution, a byproduct of industrialization. Now people who feel just “under the weather” in Japan wear them to be polite, Sutton said.
