The authors looked at coronavirus death rates in 198 countries, trying to see why some had painfully high death rates and others very low.
“What we found was that of the big variables that you can control which influence mortality, one was wearing masks,” says Christopher Leffler of Virginia Commonwealth University, one of the study’s authors.
“It wasn’t just by a few per cent, it was up to a hundred times less mortality. The countries that introduced masks from the very beginning of their outbreak have had hardly any deaths.”
Most of the countries that had low death rates were in East Asia, especially South Korea and Japan.
“You also have Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau — there are lots of countries that used masks early on. Vietnam and Thailand are good examples — they’ve kept per capita mortality very low,” Leffler says.
I would just like to remind you that America, the country with the highest number of infections and the highest death toll, continues to have no federal guidelines for mask-wearing.
I imagine that will change after the election if things work out the way that they must work out.
My mother in law lives in Vietnam. Mask wearing has been mandatory since February. Out of 95 million people they have 300+ cases and 0 deaths.
Five years ago I used to double check that I had enough cigarettes on me before leaving the house (yes, I quit), now I make sure I’ve got a mask. How the world has changed.
Yes, it does get tiresome, all of us looking like we’re about to assist in the operating room, but let’s continue to keep smart, and look out for one another. 🤗

“There’s never been anything where they have so many names,” Trump said of the coronavirus. “I could give you 19 or 20 names for that, right?”
The sweating, unhinged president suggested several names for the virus, including “Wuhan,” “Kung flu,” and “the China flu.”
He also admitted that he doesn’t know what the “19” in COVID-19 means.
An excerpt of Trump’s racist tirade:
You ever notice – I said the other night. Did anybody see my speech the other night, on Saturday night? What I said the other night, there’s never been anything where they have so many names. I could give you 19 or 20 names for that, right? It’s got all different names. Wuhan. Wuhan was catching on. Coronavirus, right? Kung flu. Kung flu. COVID. COVID-19. Covid. I say what’s the 19? COVID-19. Some people can’t explain what the 19 — give me. COVID-19. I said that’a an odd name. I could give you many, many names. Some people call it the Chinese flu, the China flu. … I’ve never seen anything like it, but here’s the story: We are going to be stronger than ever before and it’s going to be soon.
“Clearly, he is falling apart”

“This is COVID-19 ― not COVID-1, folks,” Conway said. “And so you would think the people charged with the World Health Organization would be on top of that.”
