Western society is too lax and focused on individual rights “It’s my RIGHT to not wear a mask”. Asian society is focused on collective rights, protection of society is more important, don’t wear a mask and you’ll be punished. That’s why Asian nations have had such a low death rate compared to Western countries IMO.
Unless masks are made mandatory and punishments handed out for non compliance not enough people in this country will wear them. Same goes for large and non essential gatherings. Time for some decisive leadership.
