I personally will believe in the use of masks. I look at a place like Japan that has a culture of using masks. This virus should be causing havoc over there, worse tham NYC and yet, it hasnt. If those people sneeze wrong, they put themselves in a mask.

Sure they can fudge numbers and under test to hide how bad it is, but you cant hide it long as we saw in China. Japan is also a country with a ton of old people as well

Japan is lying. They have been full of it since the very beginning as they tried to cling on to hope for the Olympics. I don't trust anything coming out of there.

Not commentary on masks at all. I think everyone should wear them. They cause almost zero inconvenience to the wearer. The trade off between "what's the drawback of doing it" to the potential benefit from wearing a mask makes it absolutely ridiculous and/or selfish for someone not to wear one. It's a piece of cloth over your face. If you have trouble breathing through cloth, you are in a very, very high risk cohort and you shouldn't be out of your house anyway.

I'm just saying Japan is lying.
