But the countries you listed have accredited masks as one of the most important tools they used in suppressing the virus.

How does what you "think" trump that very real example of suppression during the global pandemic?

You are saying these countries are attributing masks as important tools here and then in another post you didn't even know they were mandatory in France.

When did France make them compulsory?

Nope, I asked you a very specific question.

Virus is gone from Taiwan because their military government decided so.

Don't forget that the people of Wohan where wearing masks before the virus took hold. It took total lockdown to gain control of the virus.

I believe masks while shopping make very little difference. Where masks could play an important role is if people wore them in their own home when family & friends visited.

Jesus, not only was it a very specific question, it was quite simple.

A quick Google would tell you that they're mandatory in Paris and a few other places.

Countries with awful track record on covid attribute masks as one of their most important tool. Good one.

Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam

So they are all wrong and you are right.

People were wearing masks in most of those countries due to air pollution. They weren't enforced by governments. It was free choice.

Caraibh wrote: »

Yes, but now they have no choice. I went to Thailand a couple of years ago and didn't see a single person wearing a mask.

Do you agree with me that there is no justification for continued mandatory masks in the countries I mentioned?

Boggles wrote: »

Very low instances of Covid, very high mask usage.

I Wonder is there a connection?

Boggles wrote: »

It's the exact point.

If universally mask wearing has been an effective tool in the low instances of virus in the community in most of those countries, it would be moronic in the extreme to stop wearing them.

Wouldn't you agree?

No need for that lad, especially given you seem unable to decipher the conversation.

Sorry, I think I misunderstood the question. I thought you meant "(Since) when were masks made mandatory in France" when you were asking what date they were made mandatory on. They've been mandatory in Paris and in other parts of the country since the 28th of August.

In Spain, they've been mandatory everywhere since May.

And they haven't made a blind bit of difference in either country based on the huge numbers in terms of deaths and case numbers.

Why would they? Most of these countries are still attempting to suppress minor outbreaks, it's not like the virus is just gone from these countries forever with no chance of regrowth

Taiwan has gone more than 200 days without a single case. It seems nothing will do for the government there. If there's no medical justification for Taiwan not being back to normal then the only reason I can think of as to why they continue to insist that people wear masks is because they want to control them. What other reason could there be?

How do you know? Unless you have a parallel study running obviously, which is impossible.

But you concede masks were a big part of the 4 Asian countries (you listed) suppression of the virus?

copeyhagen

maybe its something different with their culture, like dont those Countries tend to keep their elderly at home with them?

majority of our deaths were elderly in nursing homes, remove the nrusing homes and you remove a chunk of the problem.

Or maybe their track and trace?

I don't. I don't think they made a difference in those countries.

They've been wearing them everywhere in Spain since May and they still have huge case numbers.

Plenty of public health experts are of the opinion that do nothing. So it depends on whom you ask, I suppose.

Can you explain why they appear to have made no difference in Spain, Peru, the Philippines and Italy, where they are mandatory everywhere?
