It would be a great thing.
Covid Deaths per 1 million of population in selected countries:
Japan 18
China 3
South Korea 11
Malaysia 12
Vietnam 0.5
Thailand 1
Singapore 5
And some western countries for comparison:
USA 870
UK 900
France 840
Brazil 830
Italy 1000
I think it would be a very beneficial thing for Australia to adopt far more aspects of Asian culture into our own than just the wearing of masks.
