Coronavirus: Why Was Coronavirus Controlled and Contained Quickly In Most Asia Countries

US President ever spoke in public with question that why COVID-19 was not spread in China and why it did not outbreak in Beijing. I guess 90% US people, and West people have same question. Just look back to the Coronavirus pandemic in China, South Korea, Japan and Singapore, you may found that the pandemic was controlled well in those countries after a little fluster at the beginning.

Active and Aggressive Response to COVID-19 of Government

The governments of these four countries have adopted positive and effective methods when facing the new coronavirus epidemic. Even without large-scale lockdown, they have all taken very effective measures to detect, cut off and isolate the virus source. After experiencing spread of SARS, these countries have become more serious, cautious, and active in dealing with viral infections. Therefore, the control and treatment of the infection of the new coronavirus has achieved very good results.

On the contrary, most governments in European countries except Germany were more negative when responding to the epidemic, and more or less to adopt the method of group immunization, rather than active control and protection, so that the infection and spread of the new coronavirus was very fast, and the death toll is also high.

The United States is different. The Trump government likes to politicize any domestic and international affairs, and the result of politicization is that no one or organization is willing to go against the so-called political correctness. In this way, there are no clear plans and measures, and a truly responsible team to lead and guide the nation’s anti-epidemic, and meanwhile there were various voices and opinions which confused the public’s judgment. At this point, the United States has become the most severe country in the world.

Despite of the response and attitude to the epidemic of COVID-19 of the country and local government, a big reason is the difference of nation culture. Culture is a big topic covering lots of part of a nation, a typical difference is the attitude to mask. Most west do not understand why Asians like to wear mask.

Why Does Asian Wear Mask?

• Disposable Medical Face Masks with Elastic Ear Loop 3 Ply Breathable and Comfortable
• Disposal Protective Clothing for Medical Use
• N95/KN95 Protective Mask with Elastic Ear Loop
• Surgical Mask with Elastic Ear Loop 3 Ply Breathable and Comfortable
• ZeroVirus Space Portable Sterilization Bar

• Wearing a mask is a preventive method:

If a person carries a virus, then wherever he walks will inevitably leave traces of bacteria. There may be bacteria in the door handles, stair rails, elevator buttons, used handbags, and even the enclosed spaces where he has stayed. This is why many people in Asian countries with a high population density have the habit of wearing masks.

• **Reason of air pollution: **

For example, in China, air quality has always been a problem of people vomiting. In big cities with millions of people, haze weather often occur. Wearing a mask can effectively prevent people from inhaling harmful particles, which is also a protective measure advocated by the national health department.

• Prevent Allergies:

For people with allergies, masks are a must for their lives. The end of February is the beginning of the allergy season in Japan. You will see that many people wear masks on the streets of Japan. This is to avoid inhalation of pollen, which may cause flower allergy.

• Keep Warm:

Masks also have a warming effect. In North China’s severely cold areas, people need to wear thick masks to prevent facial frostbite. How vigorous is the mask market in Asian countries? In Japan alone, people spend $230 million a year on masks.

In addition, in the past 20 years, the Asian region has experienced the baptism of SARS, smog, and avian flu. “Wearing a mask” has become a common phenomenon. If the air is not good, you need to wear a mask. Some people in the subway need to wear a mask if they cough or sneeze. Wearing a mask when it is too late to make up when going out. To wear a mask as favorite idol star does. It is just a sense of security! Slowly, the significance of masks goes beyond medical supplies, and the relationship with “disease” is getting farther and farther…

Why Does the West not Wear Mask?

Asians always think that wearing masks when they are not sick is to protect themselves, and to hide when they don’t wear masks, but the west does not. In west, wear masks when they are sick, to protect others, so they hide when they wear masks.

They have been educated since childhood:

If you have a cold and take leave at home, don’t go out. When you go to a public place or go to the doctor, please wear a mask. Do not hinder others and medical staff.

Therefore, it is very simple for them to wear them when they are ill, and not to wear them when they are not ill.

Once he sees someone wearing a mask in public, he naturally thinks you are sick, and for his own health, he will hide from you a little. This is not without prevention awareness, it is precisely the performance of their prevention awareness.

Of course, when they saw a lot of people wearing masks, they were everywhere, they felt a little scary, and there was discrimination.

In the concept of west, what kind of people generally wear medical masks?

• Doctors
• nurses,
• first aid,
• you have to take care of the sick,
• robber terrorist

“Masks are something you only need to do when you are seriously ill or when you are asked by medical advice!” This deep-rooted thought cannot be changed in a while.

Wearing Mask Violates Freedom?

Does wearing mask violate freedom? It is most popular points in many US people. So, is it real?

Obviously, people have misunderstanding about freedom. Being asked to wear a face mask during a pandemic is not “having one’s rights trampled on” by “tyrannical politicians”. Wearing a face mask during a pandemic makes you a member of a civil society. Wearing a mask is not tyranny, it is you making a small sacrifice in an attempt to prevent your actions from adversely affecting your neighbors. Get over yourself.

Conclusion

Mask just is a small part during the pandemic, but which just reflect the impact of different culture to coronavirus. There is not standard to judge which is better or worse. Just tell out the reason why COVID-19 was controlled quickly in most Asia countries, India is special. Maybe it is time for west to change a bit during the pandemic to help stop the spread of coronavirus in the country and save more lives meanwhile.
